Paroles et traduction Karel Gott - Lago Maggiore

Lago Maggiore

Nur der See sah zu

Lago Maggiore
Lago Maggiore

Er verstand sie gut.
Lago Maggiore
Lago Maggiore
Lago Maggiore.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Denn zwischen ihren Familien
Da herrschte seit Jahren Streit

Und ihre Liebe war ihnen verboten für alle Zeit.
Sie lebten nur für die wenigen Stunden voller Zärtlichkeit

Und nur der See war ihr Freund und verstand ihr Leid.

Refrain:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Nur der See...
--------------------------------------------------------------

Und eines Tag′s als die Sonne verschwand und ein Sturm kam auf

Fuhren sie beide allein mit dem Boot auf den See hinaus;
Sie hielten sich engumschlungen wie Kinder
Die ängstlich sind

Und immer weiter vom Ufer trieb sie der Wind.

Und das Boot verschwand
Lago Maggiore

Lago Maggiore
Nur der See verstand

Lago Maggiore
Lago Maggiore die Liebe war so tief wie der See.
Lago Maggiore
Lago Maggiore.

Lake Maggiore

Only the lake watched

Lake Maggiore
Lake Maggiore

He understood them well.
Lake Maggiore
Lake Maggiore
Lake Maggiore.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Because between their families
There had been strife for years

And their love was forbidden to them for all eternity.
They lived only for the few hours filled with tenderness

And only the lake was their friend and understood their sorrow.

Chorus:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Only the lake...
--------------------------------------------------------------

And one day, as the sun was setting and a storm was brewing,

They sailed alone with the boat on the lake;
They held on tightly as children
Who are frightened

And further and further from shore the wind drove them.

And the boat disappeared
Lake Maggiore

Lake Maggiore
Only the lake understood

Lake Maggiore
Lake Maggiore the love was as deep as the lake.
Lake Maggiore
Lake Maggiore.
