Austria 3 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mir segn uns fast a jahr ned oder mehr
Und manchmal schreibst a karten von weit her
Und wanns′d dann da bist, dann hast oft ka zeit
Und trotzdem, wanns'd di meldst hab i a freud
I verlang ned, dass′d di rührst
I wass eh, dass du mi gspürst
Und nie aus die augn verlierst
Du bist mei allerbester freund

A freund, wie's eam nur amoi gibt
Du bist mei allerbester freund
A freund, den ma ganz afoch liebt
A freundschaft muass ma pflegn, sagn die leut
Und giassn wia an bam von zeit zu zeit
Und des, was mia ham, muass a kaktus sein
Der geht a in der wüste niemals ein
Wann di sonn si dann erhebt
Siecht ma, dass die wüste lebt

Und alls dem licht zuastrebt
Du bist mei allerbester freund ...
