Guildo hat euch lieb! [English translation]

Guildo loves you all

And even if some tears are falling

He'll come over and sing some songs for you

Guildo loves you all

There was a time

A time of tenderness

Back then, cuddling and smooching and loving each other

Was always a big deal

I enjoy thinking back

On this time of harmony and happiness

When every day, I added the following line to a friendship book1:

Peep, peep, peep – I like you a lot2

Guildo loves you all

And even if some tears are falling

He'll come over and sing some songs for you

Guildo loves you all (Again and again)

In my little world

Where all people stick by each other

And where your tears don't lie3

Dreams learn to fly

I'd really want to be there

I wouldn't be too far away from the stars

And from there, I'd send you my token of love:

Nut slices4 and strawberry ice cream

Guildo loves you all

And even if some tears are falling

He'll come over and sing some songs for you

Guildo loves you all (Again and again)

I enjoy thinking back

On this time of harmony and happiness

When every day, I added the following line to a friendship book:

Peep, peep, peep – I like you a lot

Guildo loves you all

And even if some tears are falling

He'll come and sing some songs for you

Guildo loves you all (Again and again, again and again)

(Guildo loves us all, again and again)

Whoa... Guildo loves you all (Again and again)

(Guildo loves us all, again and again)

Hey, Guildo loves you all

1. This is a reference to a German kind of friendship book usually kept by children, who pass it around to all their friends so that each one of them adds a couple of lines to it, usually in the form of a short poem.2. This (rhyming) line is widely nonsensical3. This line is a reference to the very famous Schlager song "Tränen lügen nicht" by Michael Holm. Guildo Horn is a devout fan of Schlager music, which represents a rather sentimental and happy-go-lucky attitude.4. "Nussecken" (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5b/Nussecke%2C_cut_open...) were actually popularised by this song. There was a hype in 1998 and people loved them so much that you can still buy them in many bakeries. They are still associated with Guildo Horn's participation in the Eurovision Song Contest.
