Bata Illic - Amor amor amor
Amor amor amor
Amor, amor, amor...
Wie es geschah, daß ich Dich sah kann ich nicht sagen.
Amor, amor, amor...
Ein kleines Wort, ich wußt' sofort: ich muß es wagen.
Der Himmel war schon blau, und der Wind kam vom Meer.
Die Sonne schien so heiß, und der Strand war noch leer.

Mit Dir froh zu lachen, das wünscht' ich mir so sehr,
und dann war es anders als vorher.
Amor, amor, amor...
Ein scheuer Blick, Du schaust zurück und bist geblieben.
Amor, amor, amor...
Ich küss' Dein Haar, ein Traum wird wahr, der Traum vom Lieben.
Wir zwei schrieben lachend die Namen in den Sand,
und noch ein schönes Wort, ja, da hab' ich dann erkannt:
Die Zeit blieb für uns steh'n, und Du nahmst meine Hand.
Den Grund, den hast Du mir dann genannt.
Amor, amor, amor...
Mein Herz ist gut, d'rum war es klug, Dich nicht zu fragen
Amor, amor, amor...
Ein kleines Wort, ich wußt' sofort: Du wirst es sagen.
