Away there
Hermann van Veen
Quickly away there, away there, away
Make way, otherwise there'll be a fight
We are late and have no time
Quickly away there, away there, away
We are terribly sorry,
We'll barely make it, there's still a long way to go
We have to run, jump, fly and dive,
Fall down and get up again straight away
We must not lose any time
We can't stand here, we have to go
Another time with pleasure
Then we sit down
And talk about God, the lottery and the world
Well then, take care, see you soon
There is no point now
We have to leave urgently, because time is money
We don't have a minute or a second left,
We have to hurry
Come on, add another tooth
It is high time for us
Quickly away, away, away ...

"Little Fratz" Alfred J.Kwak" "Why am I so happy" and "I know" have helped me through many a difficult hour! Such a wonderful person and artist!
I have both feet firmly in the clouds,
...this wonderful artist accompanied me for a long time in my youth.
And no matter whether he was saying "Life is like snow" or singing about broken wings, it always went very deep.
Thank you that there is a space for this here.
Oh how nice. I've got rid of a lot of music in the last two years. But not Herman van Veen. Thanks for reminding me.
"Looking for some warmth
Some protection and some fun too
Submerge without thinking
A fleeting dream
But it was hardly more than that."
My favorite song ...
This song always made me feel anxious. My favorite song was "I have a tender feeling for every good-for-nothing, every guy who roams free without a goal, who is nobody's servant and nobody's hero. I have a tender feeling for the one who opens his mouth and shouts when he feels like it.
