Opa [English translation]

used to spend hours in the chair with grandpa

He always told me a story

Or we went to watch the waves together

And the people all knew grandpa

Yes, I remember how we could keep smiling

For a dog that played there on the beach

And that just went to the waves barking

Or wanted to fight with a blown away newspaper

And so we often walked very long hand in hand, without saying long stops

and then I looked around and saw my little feet next to my grandfather's big steps in the sand

But now I walk on my own because my grandfather does not join me

And I'm bringing my little tears to that big sea

I still see my grandfather lying like a silent white doll

Grandpa closed his eyes forever and he never slaps them again

But now I walk on my own because my grandfather does not join me

And I'm bringing my little tears to that big sea

I still see my grandfather lying like a silent white doll

Grandpa closed his eyes forever and he never slaps them again

A thousand birds rave about Grandpa's steps

it is only my own feet standing there

But I still know his stories and his jokes

and I remember what I did with him

And that is how Grandpa kept living a bit because you never lost memories again

And he has given me so much advice, so he just keeps my grandfather forever.

And that is how we often walked hand in hand without saying long ends

and then I looked around and saw my little feet next to my grandfather's big steps in the sand

But now I walk on my own because my grandfather does not join me

And I'm bringing my little tears to that big sea

I still see my grandfather lying like a silent white doll

Grandpa closed his eyes forever and he never slaps them again

But now I walk on my own because my grandfather does not join me

And I'm bringing my little tears to that big sea

I still see my grandfather lying like a silent white doll

Grandpa closed his eyes forever and he never slaps them again
