The Old Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There is an old man lonely
On the bench every day
The dogs only growl low and
Seldom anybody turns around to him
His glances are empty and unconcerned
His old jacket is patched
His wife is not here anymore
He didn’t understand anything
He only said: “it isn’t true”
The rain pelts on his face
The old man doesn’t move
Many people are passing by
He thinks: “it’s better to die”
A little girl comes running
Sits down beside the old man and laughs
Her mother angrily pulls her away
The old man doesn’t say any word
He thinks: “it isn’t true”
Die, die, die – it’s better to die, lonely
Die, die, die – it’s better to die, lonely
Next day he is no longer
Sitting on the old bench
His seat was left empty
Nobody minds at all
Die, die, die – it’s better to die, lonely
Die, die, die – it’s better to die, lonely
Die, die, die – it’s better to die, lonely
Die, die, die – it’s better to die, lonely
