Lyrics & Translation
That you are on the hill
Lying like an old man who is dying
The sorrow, the abandonment
Are your sad companions
My town, I leave you
Without joy
What will be, what will be, what will be?
What will become of my life, what will be?
If I know a lot or know nothing
Tomorrow will tell
And it will be, it will be what it will be
Now my friends
Have almost all left
And the others will leave after I do
I feel it because I loved
Your pleasant company
But it is my life
I have to go
What will be, what will be, what will be?
What will become of my life, what will be?
At night my guitar
Will sweetly sound
And a girl from my town will cry
My love
I take your smile
That was the source of my first love
Love, I promise you, how and when I don't know
But I only know that I will return
What will be, what will be, what will be?
What will become of my life, what will be?
At night my guitar
Will sweetly sound
And a girl from my town will dream
What will be, what will be, what will be?
What will become of my life, what will be?
At night my guitar
Will sweetly sound
And a girl from my town will cry
What will be, what will be, what will be?
What will become of my life, what will be?
At night my guitar
Will sweetly sound
And a girl from my town
Will dream
What will be, what will be, what will be?
What will become of my life, what will be?
At night my guitar...
