Narrenschiff
Udo Jürgens
Ship Of Fools
Far on the horizon
On the Sea of Time
A ship floats to new shores
Only with confidence
And with humanity
And loaded with light and love
And when nights are made of glass
And the silver winds blow
Can you find the last idealists
See in colorful clothes
On the Ship of Fools
(On the Ship of Fools)
On the Ship of Fools
It carries the poet
Who knows the words
Which hearts open and doors
And the musician
Who knows the tones
That touch the innermost part of you
And the sails billow before the wind of fantasies
And so they fly on the waves to new shores
On the Ship of Fools
(On the Ship of Fools)
On the Ship of Fools
It carries the painter
He who paints hope
And the souls of people and trees
And the wise
Who knows the ways
Into the land of all dreams
And we so-called smart people
Don't notice the irony
That we are dumber and more abandoned
And are much poorer than the
On the Ship of Fools
And before the world
Still dies of arrogance
And the white doves flee
I want to be with you
Go to the fools
To move away with them
(On the Ship of Fools)
On the Ship of Fools
(On the Ship of Fools)
On the Ship of Fools
(On the Ship of Fools)
