Memory
An April March Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Memories of Heidelberg sind memories of you
Und von dieser schönen Zeit
Da träum' ich immerzu.
Memories of Heidelberg sind memories vom Glück
Doch die Zeit von Heidelberg
Die kommt nie mehr zurück!
Beim Feuerwerk I'm alten Schloss
Da sah ich dich Sekunden bloss.

Doch ein Roman
So schön begann
Den ich nie mehr vergessn kann!
Memorie of Heidelberg sind ...
Das Feuerwerk war lang vorbei
I'm alten Schloss nur noch wir zwei.
Das grosse Tor war schon gesperrt
Und unser Glück war ungestört.

Memories of Heidelberg...
Memories of Heidelberg...
