D'Allemagne [English translation]
D'Allemagne [English translation]
Goodbye Lili Marlene
Tell me again about the roses of Gottingen
Which accompany me in the other Germany
When doves and vultures fly away
(Tell me) about Germany, where I listen to the rain on holidays
About Germany, where I hear rock music in silence
About Germany, where I have memories that face me
Where I have childhood memories
Leninplatz and Anatole France
In Germany, the past history is an insult
In Germany, the future is an adventure
Of Germany, I know the prohibited senses
I know where the rifles sleep
I know where indulgence stops
Goodbye Lili Marlene
Tell me again about the roses of Gottingen
Which accompany me in the other Germany
When doves and vultures fly away
On which side of the wall does the border makes you feel reassured?
From Germany I have stories of sincere love
I glide on the songs by Apollinaire
In Germany, romanticism is more violent
The violins play increasingly slow
Ordinary Viennese waltzes
Goodbye Lili Marlene
Tell me again about the roses of Gottingen
Which accompany me in the other Germany
When doves and vultures fly away
On which side of the wall does the border makes you feel reassured?
I have a little wild flower
A flame which blooms among the clouds
From Germany, I have a little flower in my heart
Which is like the idea of happiness
And which is going to grow like a tree
Goodbye Lili Marlene…
