Silver and Gold

1)
Hans Peter Eckermann, born in Bonn,
Ten years after the war, as a printer's third son.
His mother, from 'over there', from Breslau.
Where it is, he still does not know exactly.
School until fourteen, then straight into apprenticeship,
across the bridge, in Beuel with a plumber.
In summer by bike and in winter mostly by train, in January seventy-four he asked her.
2)
He still feels queasy when he thinks about it,
And a year later, Evi gave him
A crown prince with Mark.
There were rings of gold
And Pitter was proud.
Evi was the greatest for him
And apart from the "Yes!", a silver ring crowed for his left ear.
Chorus:
There was a watch ring made of silver
And a ring made of gold for your hand.
Of gold and silver, the voice in the back of his head said:
"Man, go for it, call out!
3)
Decades later, Pitter lives with Evi in Mainz
And every two months Marc comes by on his motorbike.
His siblings have long since left home,
Except for the youngest, who came later, Ben.
On Sundays, they occasionally go for a bike ride along the Rhine,
Evi is the greatest - still as before - and he is still the king.
Downstream, somewhere down there, is a bridge,
Which is a symbol of happiness for two people.
4)
Are you wondering what this is all about?
I have no idea, just a story,
Which, unlike all the others, is not a minor:
Of love and pride,
Of two rings of gold.
A week ago, I saw Pitter,
A silver ring hung from his left ear.
Chorus:
There was a watch ring made of silver
And a ring made of gold for your hand...
