Always look on the bright side of life

     Some things in live are bad, they can really make you mad, other things just make you
     swear and cares. When you chewing on life's gristle, don't grumble, give a whistle
     and this'll help things turn out for the best.

1.  And always look on the bright side of life, always look on the bright light of life.
     If life seems jolly rotten there's something you've forgotten
     and that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing. When you're felling in the dumps,
     don't be silly chumps, just purse you lips and whistle, that's the thing!

2.  And always look on the bright side of life, always look on the bright light of life.
     for life is quite absurd and death's the final word, you must
     always face the curtain with a bow. Forget about your sin, gave the audience a grin,
     enjoy it, it's you last chance anyhow!

3.  So always look on the bright side of death, just before you draw your
     terminal breath. Live's a piece of shit when you look at it, live's a laugh
     and death's a joke. it's true. You'll see it's all a show, keep 'em laughin' as you go,
     just remember that the last laugh is on you.

     And always look on the bright side of life
     always look on the right side of life.

Am Tag als Conny Cramer starb

1.  Wir lagen träumend im Gras, die Köpfe voll verrückter Ideen,
     da sagte er nur zum Spaß, kommt lasst uns auf die Reise gehen.
     Doch der Rauch schmeckte bitter, aber Conny sagte mir, was er sah,
     ein Meer von Licht und Farben. Wir wussten nicht, was bald darauf geschah.

     Refrain:
     Am Tag, als Conny Cramer starb. Und alle Glocken klangen,
     am Tag, als Conny Cramer starb. Und alle seine Freunde weinten um ihn.
     Das war ein schwerer Tag, weil in mir eine Welt zerbrach.

2.  Er versprach oft ich lass es sein, das gab mir wieder neuen Mut
     und ich redete mit ein, mit Liebe wird alles gut.
     Doch aus den Joints da wurden Trips, es gab keinen Halt auf der schiefen Bahn.
     Die Leute fingen an zu reden, aber keiner bot Conny Hilfe an.

     Refrain

3.  Beim letzten Mal da sagte er, nun kann ich den Himmel sehn.
     Ich schrie ihn an, komm zurück. Er konnte es nicht mehr versteh’n.
     Ich hatte nicht einmal mehr Tränen, ich hatte alles verloren, was ich hab.
     Das Leben geht einfach weiter, mir bleiben nur noch die Blumen auf seinem Grab.

Blowing in the wind

1.  How many roads must a man walk down, before you can call him a man? Yes’n
     How many seas must a white dove sail, before she sleeps in the sand? Yes’n
     How many times must a cannonball fly, before thy forever are banned?

     Refrain:
     The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
     The answer is blowing in the wind.

2.  How many times must a man look up, before can see the sky? Yes’n
     How many ears must one man have, before he can hear people cry? Yes’n
     How many death will it take, till he knows, that so many people have died?

     Refrain

3.  How many years can a mountain exist, before it is washed to the sea? Yes’n
     How many years can some people exist, before they’re allowed to be free? Yes’n
     How many can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn’t see?

     Refrain

Boat on the river

1.  Take me back to my boat on the river I need to go down, I need to came down.
     Take me back to my boat on the river and I won’t cry out anymore.

2.  Time stands still as I gaze in the water she eases me down, touching me gently
     with the water that flow past my boat on the river so I don’t cry out anymore.
     Oh the river is wise, the river is touches my live like the waves on the sand
     and all roads lead to tranquillity base where the frown on my face disappears.

3.  Take me town to my boat on the river I need to go down, won’t you let me go down.
     Take ma back to my boat on the river and I won’t cry out anymore.

Country Roads

1.  Almost heaven, West Virginia,
     Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
     live is older, older than the trees,
     younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze.

     Refrain:
     Country Roads take me home
     to the place I belong, West Virginia
     mountain mama, take me home, Country Roads.

2.  All my memories gather 'round her,
     miner's lady, stranger to blue water.
     Dark and dusty, painted on the sky,
     misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eye.

     Refrain

3.  I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me,
     the radio reminds me of my home far away,
     and driving down the road I get a feeling
     that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

     Refrain (2x)

Father and son

     It's not time to make a change, just relax, take it easy,
     your still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have to know
     find a girl, settle down, if you want you can marry
     look at me, I am old but I'm happy.
     I was once like you are now, and I know that is not easy
     to be clam when you've found something going on.
     But make your time, think a lot, think of everything you've got for
     you will still be there tomorrow but your dreams may not.
     How can I try to explain? When I do he turns away again,
     it's always been the same, same old story.
     From the moment I could talk, I was ordered to listen now
     there's a way, and I know that I have to go away, I know I have to go.
     It's not time to make a change just sit down, take it slowly,
     you're still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have to go through.
     Find a girl, settle down if you want you can marry,
     look at me I am old, but I'm happy.
     All the time, that I've cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
     it's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
     If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them, they know not me now
     There's a way, and I know that I have to go away, I know I have to go.

Gute Nacht Freunde

     Refrain:
     Gute Nacht Freunde, es wird Zeit für mich zu geh’n,
     was ich noch zu sagen hätte, dauert eine Zigarette
     und ein letztes Glas im stehen.

1.  Für den Tag für die Nacht unter eurem Dach habt dank,
     für den Platz an eurem Tisch, für jedes Glas ich trank,
     für den Teller den ihr mir zu den euren stellt,
     als sei selbstverständlicher nichts auf der Welt.

2.  Habt dank für die Zeit die ich mit euch verplaudert hab
     und für eure Geduld, wenn’s mehr als eine Meinung gab,
     dafür, daß ihr nie fragt, wann ich komme oder geh
     und für die stets offene Tür in der ich jetzt steh.

     Refrain

3.  Für die Freiheit, die als steter Gast bei euch wohnt
     habt dank, daß ihr nie gefragt, was es bringt, ob es lohnt.
     Vielleicht liegt es daran, daß man von draußen meint,
     daß in euren Fenstern das Licht wärmer scheint.

Killing me softly

     Refrain:
     Strumming my pain with his fingers, singing me life with his words
     killing me softly with his song, killing me softly with his song
     Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly, with his song

     And so I came to see him and listen for a while.
     And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes

     I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.
     I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on.

     And then he looked right through me as if I wasn’t there.
     But he was there this stranger singing clear and strong.

Leaving on a Jet-Plane

     All my bags are packed I'm ready to go
     I'm standing here outside your door

     There's so many times I've let you down
     so many times I've played around

     Every place I go I'll think of you
     Every song I sing I'll sing for you
     when I come back I'll bring your wedding ring.
     Now the Time has come to leave you
     one more time let me kiss you
     then close your eyes I'll be on my way
     Dream about the days to come
     when I won't have to leave alone
     about the times I won't have to say

     stroll around the grounds until you feel al home.

     Refrain

   2.Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes
     Put it in your panty with your cupcakes,

     Most of all you’ve got hide it from the kids.

Puff the magic dragon

1.  Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea, and frolicked in the autumn mist,
     in a land called Honah lee, little Jacky Paper, loved that rascal Puff
     and brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff.

     Refrain:
     Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea, and frolicked in the autumn mist,
     in a land called Honah lee, Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea,
     and frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah lee.

2.  Together the would travel on a boat with billowed sail, Jacky kept a lookout perched,
     on Puff’s gigantic tail, noble kings and princes would bow whener they came,
     Pirate ships would low’r their flags, when Puff roared out his name.

     Refrain

3.  A dragon fives forever, but not so little boys. Painted wings and giants rings
     make way for other toys. One gray night it happened, Jacky Paper came no more,
     and Puff that mighty dragon he cased his fearless roar.

     Refrain

4.  His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fall like rain, Puff no longer went to play
     along that cherry lane, without his live long-friend, Puff could not be brave.
     So Puff, that mighty dragon, sadly slipped into his cave.

     Refrain

Sag mir wo die Blumen sind

1.  Sag mir wo die Blumen sind, wo sind sie geblieben

Sailing

1.  I am sailing, I am sailing, home again, cross the sea.
     I am sailing, stormy waters, to be near you, to be free.

2.  I am flying, I am flying, like a bird, cross the sky.
     I am flying, passing high clouds, to be with you, to be free.
     Can you hear me, can you hear me? Through the dark night far away.

     We are sailing, we are sailing, home again, cross the sea.
     We are sailing, stormy waters, to be near you, to be free.

1000 und 1 Nacht

1.  Du wolltest dir bloß den Abend vertreiben,
     und nicht gerad’ allein gehen und riefst bei mit an.
     Wir waren nur Freunde und wollten’s auch bleiben,
     ich dacht nicht im Traum, daß was passieren kann.
     Ich weiß nicht, wie ewig wir zwei uns schon kennen.
     Deine Eltern sind mit meinen damals kegeln gefahren,
     wir bleiben zu Haus, du schliefst ein vorm Fernsehen,
     wir warn wie Geschwister in allen den Jahr’n.

     Refrain:
     Tausend mal berührt, tausendmal ist nix passiert
     tausend und eine Nacht und es hat Zoom gemacht.

   2.Erinnerst du dich, wir ha’m Indianer gespielt,
     und uns beim Fasching in die Büsche versteckt,
     was war eigentlich los, wir ha’m nie was gefühlt,
     so eng nebeneinander und doch gar nix gescheckt.
     War alles ganz logisch, wir kennen uns schon lange,
     als daß aus uns noch mal irgendwas wird,
     ich wusst’ wie dein Haar riecht und deine silberne Spange,
     hatt’ ich doch schon tausendmal beim Tanzen berühmt

     Refrain

   3.Wie viele Nächte wusst’ ich nicht was gefehlt hat,
     wär nie drauf gekommen, denn das warst ha du,
     und wenn ich dir oft von meine Problemen erzählt hab,
     hätt’ ich nie geahnt, du warst der Schlüssel dazu.
     Doch so aufgewühlt hab ich die nie gesehen,
     du liegst neben mit und ich schäm mich fast dabei,
     was war bloß passiert, wir wollten tanzen gehen,
     alles war so vertraut, und jetzt ist alles neu.

The Boxer

     I am just a poor boy, though my story’s seldom told, I have squandered my resistance
     for a pocket full of mumbles such are promises
     all lies and jest still a man hears what he want to hear and disregards the rest mmm
     when I left my home and my family I was no mere than a boy in the company of strangers
     in the quiet oft the railway station running squared.
     Laying low seeking out the poorer quarters where the ragged people go,
     looking for the places only they would know. Lie- la- lie
     Asking only workman's wages I come looking for a job but I get no offers
     just I come on from the wores on seven Avenue.

     I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome I took some comfort there. Lie- la- lie
     Then I’m laying our my winter clothes and wishing I was gone, going home,
     where the New York City winters aren’t bleeding me. Leading me, going home.
     In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade and he carries the reminders
     of every glove that laid him down and cut him till he cried out.
     In his anger and his shame "I am leaving, I am leaving" but the fighters sill remains. Lie- la- lie

Über den Wolken

1.  Wind Nord/Ost, Startbahn null-drei, bis hier hör ich die Motoren.
     Wie ein Pfeil zieht sie vorbei und es dröhnt in meine Ohren
     und der nasse Asphalt bebt, wie ein Schleier staubt der Regen
     bis sie abhebt und sie schwebt, der Sonne entgegen.

     Refrain:
     Über den Wolken, muss die Freiheit wohl grenzenlos sein.
     Alle Ängste, alle Sorgen, sagt man, blieben darunter verborgen und dann
     würde was uns groß und wichtig erscheint, plötzlich nichtig und klein.

2.  Ich seh’ ihr noch lange nach, seh’ sie die Wolken erklimmen,
     bis die Lichter nach und nach ganz im Regengrau verschwimmen.
     Meine Augen haben schon jeden winz’gen Punkt verloren.
     Nur von fern klingt monoton das Summen der Motoren.

     Refrain

3.  Dann ist alles still ich geh, Regen durchdringt meine Jacke,
     irgend jemand kocht Kaffe in der Luftaufsichtbaracke.
     In den Pfützen schwimmt Benzin, schillernd wie ein Regenbooooo-oooo-gen.
     Wolken spiegeln dich darin. Ich wär’ gern mitgeflogen.

When I'm sixty-four

1.  When I get older, losing my hair, many years form now.
     Will you still be sending me a valentine, birthday greetings, bottle of wine?
     If I'd been out till quarter to three, would you lock the door?
     Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty-four?

     Refrain:
     hm, hm,......
     you'll be older too. Ah, and if you say the word, I could stay with you.

2.  I you could be handy mending a fuse when you lights have gone.
     You can knit a sweater by the fireside, Sunday mornings, go for a ride.
     Doing the garden, digging the weeds; who could ask for more?
     Will you still need me, will you feed me, when I'm sixty-four?

     Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight if it's not too dear
     We shall scrimp and save. Ah, grandchildren on you knee.
     Vera, Chuck and Dave.

3.  Send me a postcard, dorp me a line stating point of view
     Indicate precisely what you mean to say, yours sincerely wasting away.
     Give me your answer, fill in a form, mine forever more.
     Will  you still need me, will you feed me, when I'm sixty-four.

Wind of Change

1.  I follow the Moskva down to Groky Park listening the wind of change.
     An August summer night soldiers passing by, listening the wind of change.

     Refrain:
     Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night,
     where the children of tomorrow dream a way in the wind of change.

2.  The world is closing in, did you ever thin that we could me so close like brothers
     The futures in the air, I can feel it everywhere, blowing with the wind of change.

     Refrain

3.  Walking down the street, distant memories are buried in the past forever.
     I follow the Moskva down to Groky Park listening the wind of change.

     Refrain

     The wind of change blows straight into the face of time,
     like a storm wind that will ring the freedom bell for peace of mind.
     Let your balalaika sing, what my guitar wants to say.

Wonderful tonight

1.  It’s late in the evening, she’s wondering what clothes to wear.
     She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair
     and then she asks me: do I look alright?
     and I say: yes, you look wonderful tonight.

2.  We go to a party and ev'ryone turns to see.
     This beautiful lady is walking around with me.
     And then she asks me: do you feel alright?
     And I say: yes, I feel wonderful tonight.

     Refrain:
     I feel wonderful because I see the love light in your eyes,
     and then the wonder of it all is what you just don’t realize
     how much I love you.

3.  It’s time to go home now, and I’ve got an aching head.
     So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed.
     And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,
     I say my Darling, you are wonderful tonight.
     Oh, my Darling, you are wonderful tonight.
