IN THE BOTTOM OF THE GLASS

Tell me what's up

Under that classic hat

And explain to me why

You didn't get angry about that load

Tell me what you have

Hidden in that drawer

And show me the photos

In the tight wallet

Tell me what you see

In your scariest dreams

Think again about the trench

Or to the boundaries you don't know

You

How far you have come in your life

So many stories you've been through and now here

You find yourself dealing with your years

You're still trying to understand

The compromises and worries

You

Your homeland that vanished in an instant

How hard everything is more distant now

Little time and so many things to explain

What answers are you looking for

At the bottom of the glass

Tell me what you feel

Looking back on your mistakes

Please give me advice

It's right to deny

Come on, explain to me what it is

And how many loves have you known

How many times have you given up

And now what is in the heart

Your tobacco your wine

Your favorite jacket

Your woman is your home

These are dreams come true

Seeing your grandchildren grow up

The most hoped for privilege

Have lunch with your kids again

Hope to be understood

You

How far you have come in your life

How many things you have experienced and now here

You find yourself dealing with your eyes

You always try to see a little further

You

Your homeland that vanished in an instant

How hard everything is more distant

Little time and no one to listen

What answers are you looking for

At the bottom of the glass

From the counter of a bar,

looking at these heroes, the real heroes,

who have known sacrifices and war, rigid rules and misery..

How much we have to learn...
