Brother

My brother just said to me:
«Sit right down without delay
I just got news and I’m sad to say
I’m told that I don’t have many more days»
So I asked him how could this be
And then my brother just said to me:
«The faded chance happens to us all
We stand today but in the end we all fall»
Brother, brother, you cannot say
Brother, I love you always
And then my brother said to me:
«I have no regrets, I had a very good life»
Tnen I said: «My brother, you mustn’t give up now
You have to try to survive»
And then my brother said to me:
«I just can’t fight, I’m much too weak»
With tears in my eyes he said to me:
«Oh, my brother, just don’t you weep»
Brother, brother, you cannot say
Brother, I love you always

Brother
Destiny is mystery, drive but no in advance
We live our lives in a dreamy fog with no certainty, just chance
Things do turn out different than we expected them to be
But what it means to be alive is still a mystery
Brother, brother, you cannot say
Brother, I love you always
Brother
Brother, brother, you cannot say
Brother
Brother, I love you always
