There was the moon, there were the stars
There was a new emotion on the skin
There was the night, there were the flowers
Even in the dark, colours could be seen
There was the desire to be together still
Maybe as a game, but anyway we feel like
Going around holding hands
And telling each other that for us, the world is strange.
Once upon a time, or maybe twice
There was a cow, a donkey and an ox
There was a night with only one star
But it was big, shiny and beautiful
And if we feel like it we'll even go to the seaside
That way we'll be able to splash into the water
And then swim, and play dead floating
And we'll check on the moon to see if it's still yellow.
yes..
And while the others are still sleeping
Perhaps they dream about us
And while the sky is brightining up
We'll watch tonight that ends.
CHORUS
Time goes by, hours pass
And we'll finally make love
One time only or for a life time
Let's first hope the summer will end.
time goes by, hours pass
I wish I could not wash away the scent
of this night that I still have to understand
but what a pity it must end!
If everything passes, or it has already passed
Too bad I still haven't understood it
even if you're not between my fingers anymore
I will remember this night for the rest of my life
And if tomorrow i will miss you
It will be because I no longer have a sky inside my room
I will have a photo to make me remember
All the things I could have told you that night.
CHORUS
If I run out of words (lit. If I don't have any more words in my drawer)
A poem I have never read
An affair to tell about
when I will have nothing left to say
And when I'll walk barefoot down the street
whatever happens, no matter how things go
Each time I'll go back to the seaside I'll have something to remember.
