Heimweh
Amigos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So schön, schön war die Zeit
Brennend heißer Wüstensand
So schön, schön war die Zeit
Fern, so fern dem Heimatland
So schön, schön war die Zeit
Kein Gruß, kein Herz, kein Kuss, kein Scherz
Dort, wo die Blumen blühen, dort, wo die Täler grün
Dort war ich einmal zu Hause
Wo ich die Liebste fand, da liegt mein Heimatland
Wie lang bin ich noch allein?
So schön, schön war die Zeit
So schön, schön war die Zeit
Viele Jahre schwere Frohen
Harte Arbeit, karger Lohn
Tagaus, tagein, kein Glück, kein Heim
Alles liegt so weit, so weit
Dort, wo die Blumen blühen, dort, wo die Täler grün
Dort war ich einmal zu Hause
Wo ich die Liebste fand, da liegt mein Heimatland
Wie lang bin ich noch allein?
Hört mich an, ihre goldenen Sterne
Grüßt die Lieben in der Ferne
Mit Freud' und Leid verrinnt die Zeit
Alles liegt so weit, so weit
Dort, wo die Blumen blühen, dort, wo die Täler grün
Dort war ich einmal zu Hause
Wo ich die Liebste fand, da liegt mein Heimatland
Wie lang bin ich noch allein?
So schön, schön war die Zeit
So schön, schön war die Zeit
So schön, schön war die Zeit
So schön, schön war die Zeit
So schön, schön war die Zeit
So schön, schön war die Zeit
