[Verse 1]
I've opened up my heart so many times
But now it´s closed
Oh, my dear every salted tear
It wrings

[Chorus]
Bitter sweet applause
But when the show´s in full swing
Every once in a while
High stepping chorus lines
Mean i'm forgetting
Mein lullaby liebchen

[Verse 2]
How rich in contrast love can be?
Sometimes i´m quite amused
To see it twist and turn
To taste both sweet and dry
These vintage years
Lovers you consume, my friend
As others their wine

[Chorus]
Nein das ist nicht
Das ende der welt
Gestrandet an leben und kunst
Und das spiel geht weiter
Wie man weiss
Noch viele schönste wiedersehn
[Outro]
And now, as you turn to leave
You try to force a smile
As if to compensate
Then you break down and cry
