Auch in Warschau blüht der erste Flieder
Udo Jürgens
The First Lilacs Are Also Blooming In Warsaw
He came from Frankfurt by bus to see Warsaw
She was a student, spoke some German and they understood each other very well
But later it was more than that he was so happy with her
And when the bus went home he said I'm staying here
The first lilacs are already blooming in Warsaw
Just like in Frankfurt, Vienna and Paris
Winter is long over in Warsaw too
And the world is full of dreams and love is so sweet
They loved each other and dreamed of being together
However, a stamp in his passport spoke a strict and official no
Even on the platform she hoped a miracle would happen
And when his train came she said I'll never understand
The first lilacs are already blooming in Warsaw
Just like in Frankfurt, Vienna and Paris
Winter is long over in Warsaw too
And people build fences that love cannot conquer
He thinks of her and does not believe that he lost her
A passport officer told him that the law does not provide for love
But even if there is hardly any hope left, whoever loves never loses courage
He reads in her last letter she writes soon everything will be fine
The first lilacs are already blooming in Warsaw
Just like in Frankfurt, Vienna and Paris
Winter is long over in Warsaw too
And they say on days like these old dreams come true
Somehow sometime
The first lilacs are already blooming in Warsaw
And winter is over maybe everything will be alright now
