Ihr Lieben daheim
Udo Jürgens
Dear Ones At Home
When I last saw you
Then I suddenly realized
The picture is a little crooked between you and me
I have been feeling it for a long time
After all, I am your son
That's why I'm writing this letter
Dear ones at home
I must tell you this
Because so many questions
They weigh on me
The years have flown by
I took my life into my own hands
Willing to pay the highest price for the goal
A little bad luck a little luck
There is only work, no turning back
You often said: Take a break
Yes, yes I know
So little time for wife and child
Which have probably been neglected
And I can see your reproachful look
When I was a child, it is far
You always had time for me
So I don't really know today
How should I explain it
You have lived a life
Together as it says in books
Despite war and a world that is bursting around you
Believe me, we tried it too
And later we realized
How your marriage
That's not ours
Dear ones at home
This is what I want to tell you
Because all these questions
They weigh on me
And today I think about it
Why so many things broke for me
I think maybe we had it too good sometimes
You think too much about yourself
Divides his life only for himself
Who is different from the others
Yes, that takes courage
Only see each other on holidays
What does it mean to understand each other
And you can’t melt the ice with just kindness
After all, everyone can see
It is not an achievement to be younger
But being old does not mean
That you know everything
Years ago, we sometimes had a bad time
And we fought for our rights
There we were together one in the storm of time
So let's look forward again
And build the bridge between us
I need you and your advice
Even today
Dear ones at home
This is what I wanted to tell you
Because all these questions
They weigh on me
Dear ones at home
