At each quarrel with the mother, my first way was from home to you
And you have said:" she is alone, you must understand that; everything elapses; come, drink a beer"
Then you mentioned, the live consists about taking and giving much more
Whereupon i have stolen a few thousand Schilling out of your cabinet
To spoil in the discotheque, some days later you've asked me about it
I have denied it, shouted hyterically
Your look was sad, then i've been crying
You have just said, come let it go
money can never be that important
When you have spoken about the war, how you have faced a russian eye to eye
You have offered each other a cigarette, the hand on the trigger has been shaking through all the fear
Or your wife, who has all day been yaking at your ears
You have just said "i like her much"
"I don't have to hear all that she says"
Grandfather can't you come down to here for a quick coffee
Grandfather i want to tell you so much, i am just understanding now
Grandfather you were my first friend and i will never forget that
Grandfather
You were no superman, and you have never acted like this, that was the reason for a power
And through the way how you lived your live, i got an idea how to get it done
Your principle was, first think, have a opinion, stand behind it
Never violence, talk about everything
But have no fear from anyone
Grandfather can't you come down to here for a quick coffee
Grandfather i want to tell you so much, i am just understanding now
Grandfather you were my first friend and i will never forget that
Grandfather
