Ein alter Mann [English translation]

An old man is standing on the stage

(he) can barely stand upright

almost no one in the bright hall

(he) still has the courage to look

Long lost is the old spark

(he) insisted on

playing the old song again

until finally everyone hated him

What has become of you?

Poor old man

An old man stands in front of his end

(he) didn't notice the signs

(he) seeks with a desperate look

coins in the empty hand

Long lost is the old spark,

(he) insisted on

trying again and again

even though everyone hated him already

What has become of you?

Poor old man

At one point it's time to go

Goodbye forever

The world is accepting the loss

lets the fate decide its course

An old man is standing on the bridge

(he) doesn't dare to look down

a sting in the flaccid chest

he can't resist anymore and jumps

What has become of you?

Poor old man

At one point it's time to go

Goodbye forever

The world is accepting the loss

lets the fate decide its course

At one point it's time to go

Goodbye forever

(he) continues singing, he hangs him up

old custom, old tradition
