Baba [English translation]
Baba [English translation]
1987, a little village by the Mediterranean Sea
You fell in love with Mom
One year later, Berlin
And the first snow
You realize that it's not easy
You have the paperwork and you
Have to go from Moabit to Wedding*,
To get money
It's the first time I see your weakness
And you're already awake for so many years
You say, you lack the last energy
I stay awake with you until morning comes
Until you can sleep again
You never really arrived
Father
I stay awake with you until morning comes
Until you can sleep again
You never really arrived
Father, Father
Many children and the workshop
You lose at the Casino
Fake friends and Mom
Part from you
You know, Father, I love you for everything
For everything you are
Though not everything was perfect
Mom came back to you
I see your weakness again
And you're already awake for so many years
You say, you lack the last energy
I stay awake with you until morning comes
Until you can sleep again
You never really arrived
Father
I stay awake with you until morning comes
Until you can sleep again
You never really arrived
Father, Father
Together we walk to the market
And buy sweet Baklava
And drink tea from Adana
I stay awake with you until morning comes
Until you can sleep again
You never really arrived
Father, Father
