Gaby wartet im Park [English translation]

The neighbor's mowing his lawn

The kids are out on their bikes

You could simply say

"I've got errands to run in town"

You glance at your watch, it's almost four

Temptation is strong

Your wife's fixing tea

And Gaby's waiting in the park

You look out the window

The weather hasn't been this good in a long time

You could stroll through the meadows with her

Along the river

Why not do it one last time?

One last enchanted day?

You reach for your car keys

But you stay strong

And Gaby's waiting in the park

Gaby's waiting in the park

But she's staying alone today

And she will never see you again

Gaby's waiting in the park

But you promised yourself

You're not going to meet her

You pick up a newspaper

Not reading a word

You think to yourself, "If I'm leaving now

I'm not even gonna be late"

You look for a cigarette

Break every match

You want to forget her

But secret desires run strong

And Gaby's waiting in the park

Gaby's waiting in the park

But she's staying alone today

And she will never see you again

Gaby's waiting in the park

But you promised yourself

You're not going to meet her

You can't think of anything but her

It's tormenting you, but then

You go and brush through your wife's hair

She's looking at you inquiringly

You think to yourself, "Now would be the time

To tell her everything"

Your tongue is tied

You just press her hand very firmly

And Gaby's waiting in the park

Gaby's waiting in the park

But she's staying alone today

And she will never see you again

Gaby's waiting in the park

But you promised yourself

You're not going to meet her
