guten tag herr noack,
ya ist gut, der poetry ist gut. and if i try to sprekenzie duetch any farther i will reveal what an linquistic oaf i really am. but the temptation to converse with you in the mother tongue was too great even though i am in no way able. . but getting back to the verses, let me say that while i don't know how well you could marry it to music, although i'm sure a clever person could, standing alone it is excellant writing, poetic and i love the theme. mystery is gut to remain mystery, ya.

guten aben,shalom

Hello Petar (where does the 'a' come from?),

I enjoyed it a lot. It actually reads like Wilhelm Busch, and I could envision it sung in the stile of Reinhard Mey. Cool rhyming structure in the verses: AAB CCCB. Probably needs some tempo to function well. I can hear it in my mind while reading the text - always a good sign :-)

Guten Abend, Herr Kissinger, was für eine schöne Überraschung...! Your German is not that bad at all, it is very likeable how you have used it... I have never expected you know some German and that you have got some German roots! How nice! Thank you for your kind and encouraging words and comments not only on these lyrics, but also on others that you do. Thank you!
shalom, my friend

@ Bernd Harmsen
Hi Bernd, thank you very, very much for your nice and kind words! Concerning Reinhard Mey, in fact, it have been his songs that have me inspired for many, and also for these lyrics. Thank you very much!
PS: By the way, I still due to you an explanation where the "a" comes from. Whereas my father is German (he has got the same name like you) my mother comes from Serbia (and that is the origin of the "a"), but I have been living in Germany already for more than 26 years.
viele liebe Grüße!

You must really be multi-lingual to come up with songs in both French and German. Spanish next? Japanese maybe? Or is it been there, done that for both?

There was a big hit song many years ago which was done in both English and German. It was titled "Wooden Heart". The singer was Joe Dowell.

Hey beechnut79,
thank you for your comment, I had to smile a lot while reading it!! :-) I`d wish I could speak Spanish, too, and I am going to learn it once though at the moment I am lacking time for this... In fact, my father knows a bit Japanese (when he was much, much younger he had a girlfriend there... lol). Apart from the languages in that I have already posted some lyrics I speak and also write songtexts in Serbocroatian (my 2nd "main" tongue), in Italian, in Russian and a little bit also in Latin, though the latter one is a dead language, unfortuantely...
I also like to combine two or several languages in one song. I know "Wooden Heart", like it a lot, thanks for mentioning it here...

greetings,
Petar
