Song of the Old Lovers - Laurika Rauch

作词：G. Jouannest/J.Brel

作曲：G. Jouannest/J.Brel

In spite of all we're still together

So many years of smiles and tears

How many times we'd part forever

And I would leave for parts unknown

A day a week and I'd feel terror

And crumble on the telephone

And then in bed we'd play confessions

And tell the truth

What truth we knew

That's how it's been with me and you

And then we'd start upon a new digression

Oh my love

My old

My sweet

My gentle love

From year to year as all the seasons fall

I love you more you know

I love you

In spite of all we're still together

So many years of smiles and tears

How many times I found another

But you loved others too

My dear

A day a week and I'd need pardon

And fumble out the key for home

And take a wound that went unhealing

For you'd forgive without forgiving

But of course we went on living

Our sorrows locked in Christmas seals

Oh my love

My old

My sweet

My gentle love

From year to year as all the seasons fall

I love you more you know

I love you

And sometimes we were almost open

And sometimes we would almost touch

I think we wanted very little

But that always seemed too much

And did we say we wanted children

I really cannot quite recall

What we wanted was our freedom

To dance through life I think that's all

We are just surrealist pilgrims

Melting clocks in marble halls

Oh my love

My old

My sweet

My gentle love

From year to year as all the seasons fall

I love you more you know

I love you still
