"Alter Mann" English Lyrics
"Alter Mann" English Lyrics
He waits for the midday's wind
the wave comes and lies down slowly
with a fan every day
the old one makes the water even
I throw the stone for my pleasure
the water moves in circles
the old one looks worried at me
and sweeped it even again
in the white sand the old man
trembling smokes his pipe
only the water and i know
for what he needs this fan
the presentiment sleeps like a volcano
hesitating i have asked
the head bent it seems he slept
he said before he died
The water shall be your mirror
after it's even you will see
how much fairy-tale stays for you
and for redemption you will plead
The fan pressed against his body
in agony his hand gets stiff
they had to break his fingers
the fan stays in the sand
I'm calling the old one every day
he might redeem me
I stay in the midday's wind
and I can read in the fan
The water shall be your mirror
after it's even you will see
how much fairy-tale stays for you
and for redemption you will plead
