Peter Fox - Haus am See (official Video)

  • 0:17 - 0:22
    Here I was born,
    and walk through the streets,
  • 0:22 - 0:26
    I know the faces, all the houses, and all the shops,
  • 0:26 - 0:30
    I need to get awayI know every dove here by name.
  • 0:30 - 0:33
    With my thumb out, I wait for a posh girl with a fast car.
  • 0:34 - 0:37
    The sun is blinding - everything is flying by
  • 0:37 - 0:41
    and the world behind me is slowly becoming small.
  • 0:41 - 0:45
    But the world out there is made for me!
  • 0:45 - 0:48
    I know it's waiting, and I (come to) pick it up.
  • 0:49 - 0:53
    The day is on my side, the wind pushes me along
  • 0:53 - 0:57
    A women's choir on the side of the road sings for me.
  • 0:57 - 1:00
    I lean back and stare into the deep blue (sky),
  • 1:00 - 1:04
    close my eyes and just keep going.
  • 1:04 - 1:08
    And at the end of the street stands a house by the lake.
  • 1:08 - 1:12
    Orange tree leaves are lying on the road.
  • 1:12 - 1:16
    I have 20 children my wife is beautiful.
  • 1:16 - 1:24
    Everyone comes by, and I never need to leave
  • 1:36 - 1:40
    I am searching for new land with unknown streets,
  • 1:40 - 1:43
    foreign faces, where no one knows my name.
  • 1:44 - 1:47
    Everything is won playing games with marked cards
  • 1:47 - 1:51
    until all is lost: God has a hard left hook.
  • 1:51 - 1:55
    I grub out treasures from the snow and the sand.
  • 1:55 - 1:59
    And women take my sanity.
  • 1:59 - 2:03
    But at some point luck chases me
  • 2:03 - 2:07
    and I come back with both pockets full of gold.
  • 2:07 - 2:11
    I invite the old weirdoes, and the relatives,
  • 2:11 - 2:15
    and everyone is weeping for joy.
  • 2:15 - 2:18
    We grill, the mums cook, and we get pissed with schnapps.
  • 2:18 - 2:22
    And celebrate for a week, every night.
  • 2:22 - 2:26
    And the moon shines brightly on my house by the lake
  • 2:27 - 2:30
    Orange tree leaves lie on the road.
  • 2:30 - 2:34
    I have 20 children, and my wife is beautiful.
  • 2:34 - 2:40
    Everyone comes by, and I never have to leave.
  • 2:46 - 2:49
    And at the end of the street stands a house by the lake.
  • 2:49 - 2:53
    Orange tree leaves lie on the road.
  • 2:53 - 2:57
    I have 20 children my wife is beautiful.
  • 2:57 - 3:03
    Everyone comes by, and I never need to leave.
  • 3:17 - 3:21
    Here I was born, and here will I be buried.
  • 3:21 - 3:25
    I am deaf, my beard is white, and I sit in the garden.
  • 3:25 - 3:28
    My 100 grandchildren play cricket on the lawn.
  • 3:28 - 3:35
    When I think of it, I can hardly wait!
