During its early years, Triumvirat initially played Top 40 songs at local venues in Cologne. The Nice and Emerson, Lake & Palmer heavily influenced Triumvirat’s musical direction and the band incorporated some of Nice/ELP music into their repertoire (Rondo among others).

In the early 1970s, the band sent a demo tape to EMI Records in Cologne and won their first record contract. Triumvirat subsequently produced modestly successful albums during the early to mid-1970s, including Mediterranean Tales (Across The Waters) and Illusions on a Double Dimple, and toured the United States with Fleetwood Mac to support Illusions on a Double Dimple, playing the album in its entirety. In 1975, Triumvirat reached the apex of their commercial success with the release of Spartacus.

The band underwent numerous personnel changes over the course of its life and eventually disbanded in 1980 with the release of their final album Russian Roulette.

Triumvirat Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know if words could say
Then Darlin' I'd find a way
To let you know what you meant to me
I guess it was meant to be
I hold you in my heart
As life's most precious part

Oh Darlin'

I dream about you often my pretty gold hair
1 love the way you soften my
Love to love your precious love

I was living like half a man
Then I couldn't love but now I can
You pick me up when I was feeling sad
More soul that I ever had
I'm gonna love you every single night
Because I think you're too out of sight

Oh Darlin'
I dream about you often my pretty gold hair
I love the way you soften my
Love to love your precious love

I'm gonna love you every single night (yes I will)
‘cause I think you're too out of sight

Oh Darlin'
I dream about you often my pretty gold hair
I love the way you soften my
Love to love your precious love

repeat till fade
