At the shadow of sundown
A fisherman had dozed off
he had a long furrow on his face
kind of like a smile
At the shore comes a murderer
Two big child like eyes
Two big eyes of fear
They were the mirrors of an adventure
lala lalalala lala la
He tells the old man "Give me the bread
I don't have time and I am starving"
He tells the old man "Give me wine,
I'm thirsty and I am a killer"
Opening his eyes to the light of day
Not even looking around
But poured the wine and broke the bread
Because he said he was thirsty and hungry
lala lalalala lala la
And it was the warmth of one moment
Then on his way again towards the wind
Looking up ahead the sun
behind his back a fisherman
Behind his back a fisherman
And the memory is now pain
Is now the regret of one April
playing in the shadow of a courtyard
lala lalalala lala la
Two policemen on horseback arrive
They come on saddles and armed
The ask the old man if nearby
He had seen a murderer
At the shadow of sundown
A fisherman had dozed off
he had a long furrow on his face
kind of like a smile
he had a long furrow on his face
kind of like a smile
lala lalalala lala la
