Away there
Hermann van Veen
Quickly away there, away there, away
Mach‘ Platz, sonst gibt’s noch Streit
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
Komm‘ leg‘ dazu noch einen Zahn
It is high time for us
Quickly away, away, away ...

„Kleiner Fratz“ , Alfred J.Kwak“ Warum bin ich so fröhlich“ und „Ich weiß“ haben mir über manche schwere Stunde weg geholfen! Ein so wunderbarer Mensch und Künstler!
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.
„Etwas Wärme suchen
Some protection and some fun too
Submerge without thinking
A fleeting dream
Doch mehr war es kaum.“
My favorite song ...
Bei mir hat dieses Lied immer Beklemmungen ausgelöst. Mein Lieblingslied war „Ich hab ein zärtliches Gefühl für jeden Nichtsnutz,jeden Kerl der frei umherzieht ohne Ziel,der niemands Knecht ist niemands Held. Ich hab ein zärtliches Gefühl für den der seinen Mund auftut und brüllt wenn’s ihm danach zumut..
