PAROLES
English Translation of “AnnenMayKantereit – Orangenlied”
[Intro]
Migratory birds fly south
When everyone feels cold in winter
Couples go seperate ways
When the love between them gets lost
[Chorus]
Stories are forgotten
When no one tells them anymore
My father always thinks of the past
While he peels oranges
[Verse 2]
Young animals leave the pack
Most of them never come back
Who flies over cuckoo’s nest once
Will be suffocated by silence afterwards
[Verse 3]
Forrest Gump found the great love
And then lost it right away
Everyone loses so many lives
Everything takes its course
Run, Forrest, run
[Verse 4]
One can forget their mother tongue
If nobody speaks it with you anymore
One can never love enough
If no one says, “I love you”
[Verse 5]
It’s so crazy how much time passes
Such incredibly much time
Without one noticing
And every year flies away
Like the birds when the winter comes
[Pre-Chorus]
Migratory birds fly south
When everyone feels cold in winter
Couples go seperate ways
When the love between them gets lost
[Chorus]
Stories are forgotten
When no one tells them anymore
My father always thinks of the past
While he peels oranges
