Testi Soundtracks :: V

Well, this is such a sad affair

I've opened up my heart so many times

But now it's closed



Oh my dear

Every salted tear

It wrings

Bitter-sweet applause



But when the show's in full swing

Every once in awhile

High stepping chorus lines

Mean I'm forgetting

Mein lullaby - liebchen



How rich in contrast

Love can be

Sometimes I'm quite amused

To see it twist and turn

To taste both sweet and dry

These vintage years

Lovers you consume, my friend

As others their wine



Nein - das ist nicht

Das ende der Welt

Gestrandet an Leben und Kunst

Und das spiel geht weiter

Wie man weiss

Noch viele 'schoum'....wiedersehen

(Translation of German lyrics:

No - this is not the end of the world

Stranded because of life and art

And the game goes on as you know

Schoum....see you)



And now, as you turn to leave

You try to force a smile

As if to compensate

Then you break down and cry
