1
00:00:17,380 --> 00:00:22,062
Here I was born,
and walk through the streets,

2
00:00:22,126 --> 00:00:25,958
I know the faces, all the houses, and all the shops,

3
00:00:26,052 --> 00:00:29,570
I need to get awayI know every dove here by name.

4
00:00:29,622 --> 00:00:33,479
With my thumb out, I wait for a posh girl with a fast car.

5
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,901
The sun is blinding - everything is flying by

6
00:00:37,038 --> 00:00:41,202
and the world behind me is slowly becoming small.

7
00:00:41,305 --> 00:00:44,806
But the world out there is made for me!

8
00:00:44,850 --> 00:00:48,478
I know it's waiting, and I (come to) pick it up.

9
00:00:48,612 --> 00:00:52,918
The day is on my side, the wind pushes me along

10
00:00:53,047 --> 00:00:56,891
A women's choir on the side of the road sings for me.

11
00:00:56,938 --> 00:01:00,282
I lean back and stare into the deep blue (sky),

12
00:01:00,357 --> 00:01:03,828
close my eyes and just keep going.

13
00:01:03,932 --> 00:01:08,132
And at the end of the street stands a house by the lake.

14
00:01:08,224 --> 00:01:12,271
Orange tree leaves are lying on the road.

15
00:01:12,352 --> 00:01:16,142
I have 20 children my wife is beautiful.

16
00:01:16,255 --> 00:01:23,936
Everyone comes by, and I never need to leave

17
00:01:35,808 --> 00:01:39,830
I am searching for new land with unknown streets,

18
00:01:40,029 --> 00:01:43,397
foreign faces, where no one knows my name.

19
00:01:43,565 --> 00:01:47,115
Everything is won playing games with marked cards

20
00:01:47,338 --> 00:01:51,150
until all is lost: God has a hard left hook.

21
00:01:51,283 --> 00:01:54,947
I grub out treasures from the snow and the sand.

22
00:01:55,149 --> 00:01:58,796
And women take my sanity.

23
00:01:58,993 --> 00:02:02,702
But at some point luck chases me

24
00:02:02,854 --> 00:02:06,942
and I come back with both pockets full of gold.

25
00:02:07,076 --> 00:02:10,901
I invite the old weirdoes, and the relatives,

26
00:02:10,993 --> 00:02:14,591
and everyone is weeping for joy.

27
00:02:14,666 --> 00:02:18,436
We grill, the mums cook, and we get pissed with schnapps.

28
00:02:18,460 --> 00:02:21,907
And celebrate for a week, every night.

29
00:02:22,047 --> 00:02:26,376
And the moon shines brightly on my house by the lake

30
00:02:26,505 --> 00:02:29,889
Orange tree leaves lie on the road.

31
00:02:30,089 --> 00:02:33,750
I have 20 children, and my wife is beautiful.

32
00:02:33,951 --> 00:02:40,490
Everyone comes by, and I never have to leave.

33
00:02:45,794 --> 00:02:49,059
And at the end of the street stands a house by the lake.

34
00:02:49,307 --> 00:02:52,905
Orange tree leaves lie on the road.

35
00:02:53,144 --> 00:02:56,974
I have 20 children my wife is beautiful.

36
00:02:57,241 --> 00:03:03,451
Everyone comes by, and I never need to leave.

37
00:03:17,067 --> 00:03:20,763
Here I was born, and here will I be buried.

38
00:03:21,038 --> 00:03:24,546
I am deaf, my beard is white, and I sit in the garden.

39
00:03:24,853 --> 00:03:28,089
My 100 grandchildren play cricket on the lawn.

40
00:03:28,205 --> 00:03:35,339
When I think of it, I can hardly wait!
