Select language to translate this lyric
It's all a matter of decor
Change bed, change body
What's the point since it's still
Me betraying myself
Me who drags myself and scatters
And my shadow undresses
In the similar arms of girls
Where I I thought I found a country
Light heart changing heart heavy heart
The time to dream is very short
What should I do with my days
What should I do -he make of my nights
I had neither love nor home
Nowhere where I live or die
I passed like the rumor
I fell asleep like the noise .
It was an unreasonable time
We had put the dead to the table
We were making sandcastles
Wolves were taken for dogs
Everything was changing heads and shoulders
Was the play funny or not? the
Me, if I didn't play my role well
It was because I didn't understand anything
Is this how men live
And their kisses follow them in the distance
In the Hohenzollern district
Between La Sarre and the barracks
Like the flowers of the alfalfa
Lola's breasts were blooming
She had the heart of a swallow
On the sofa of the brothel
I came to lie down next to her
In the hiccups of the pianola
The sky It was gray with clouds
Wild geese flew there
Who screamed death as they passed
Above the houses on the quays
I saw them through the window Being
Their sad song entered my being
And I thought I recognized it
From Rainer Maria Rilke
Is this how men live
And their kisses follow them far away
She was brown she was white
Her hair fell on her hips
And the week and the Sunday
She opened all her bare arms
She had tiled eyes
She worked valiantly
For an artilleryman from Mainz
Who is never one returned
There are other soldiers in town
And at night the civilians come up
Put some rimmel on your eyelashes
Lola who will leave you soon
Another glass of liquor
It was in April at five o'clock
At daybreak in your heart
A dragon plunged his knife
Is that so that men live
And their kisses in the distance follow them
