I was going home in the night
I was a little drunk
and it was calm around me
No one in the whole village
And at that moment I saw
a neighbour in the moon light
he limped a little
hurrying up towards me.
I didn't know him
and i have never been in his home
and then, he asked me smiling
to come to him
While we were going
he took everything he had at the vegetable garden
put all this on the table
and took a bitter liqueur
I got very drunk
because of his liqueur
and the man got blue ob his face
like a dead man
And when we went out on the porch
to take a breathe
His face covered with hair suddenly.
Oh my silly head!
my drunk head
I love you!
And my neighbour is filling my glass
more and more on the quiet
and I am still drinking.
I got absolutely sober
seeing the things going around
and I saw evertything differently that time:
I am somewhere in the thicket
sitting between the fir-trees
and I hold a cone instead of a jigger
at my mouth
Oh my silly head!
my drunk head
I love you!
And my neighbour is filling my glass
more and more on the quiet
and I am still drinking.
That scoundrel
fed me with the devil's food
fed me with a toadstool
gave me the bog water to drink
The devil changed all my reality
while my eyes were drunk
He teased me
If I could run him down
I would kill him!
