Letra de Wiedersehen

Farewell to the mountains Goodbye to the trees So long to the ski slopes Join the absentees Salzburg is a cradle Rocking you no more Memory the only thing That’s still worth living for Wiedersehen Auf Wiedersehen Wie wir gehen Auf Wiedersehen Books are in their boxes Manuscripts are packed A dealer expressed interest So paintings were dispatched The ladies from the village Say tearful goodbyes The gardener locks the greenhouse Suspicion in his eyes Wiedersehen Auf Wiedersehen Wie wir gehen Auf Wiedersehen The world before the war Exquisite in your dreams Still bore the angry children Who only saw extremes You never saw it coming What was it they lacked? The civilised rejected Modernity attacked Wiedersehen Auf Wiedersehen Wie wir gehen Auf Wiedersehen Your old friend Freud has helped you Illuminate the hate Find motive in desire But now it’s much too late The train is on the platform The knife is in your back Your suitcases are sitting On the luggage rack Wiedersehen Auf Wiedersehen Wie wir gehen Auf Wiedersehen
