Well this is such a sad affair   I've opened up my heart   So many times   But now it's closed      Oh my dear every salted tear   It wrings bittersweet applause      But when the show's in full swing   Every once in a while   High stepping chorus lines   Mean I'm forgetting   Mein lullaby Liebchen      How rich in contrast love can be   Sometimes I'm quite amused   To see it twist and turn   To taste both sweet and dry      These vintage years   Lovers you consume, my friend   As others their wine      *Nein, Das is nicht   Das Ende der Welt   Gestrandet an Leben und Kunst   Und das Spiel geht weiter   Wie Man weiss   Noch viele Schonste, Wiedersehn      And now, as you turn to leave   You try to force a smile   As if to compensate   Then you break down and cry      -------------------------------------------   *German Translation*      No, it's not the end of the world   Stranded in the art of life   And the game goes on   As one knows   There are many beautiful things to come
