I will tell him

I will tell him that he comes from this country
Where his father was a treefeller
And that the East also runs in his veins
And that such mixes make beautiful children
That he is strong and very much alive
 
I will tell him that he was born from love
That we were waiting for him with excitement
That every night makes way for a new day
That he will grow up one day but that he still has got time
Yes my lord, he still has got time
 
And that life may call him, and that the world waits for him
that earth is so beautiful and the sky so large
That he is nice and that I love him, that he's my life, my joy
That he is one amongst millions of people
But for me he's the one-of-a-kind
 
I will tell him, that here on earth everything must be
learned: good, evil and even happiness,
That he must never loose his child's eyes.
In front of too much tragedy and ugliness
he has to look with his heart.
 
I will tell him to behave well and to be careful
To brush against ice and fire
To taste everything but never to be dependent on anything
That too much can be worse than too little
Oh much worse than too little
 
And that life may call him, and that the world waits for him
that earth is so beautiful and the sky so large
That he is nice and that I love him, that he's my life, my joy
That he is one amongst millions of people
But for me he's the one-of-a-kind
 
I will tell him the songs and the poems
That there's no love without trouble
That happiness is a seed that you sow
That you can't buy love and health
And that those things are the only wealths you have
 
I will tell him that one day another woman
Will come and love him and that he will love her
That I will die out with happiness and tears
But that we will be there, step by step
That this is life and its rules
 
And that life may call him, and that the world waits for him
that earth is so beautiful and the sky so large
That he is nice and that I love him, that he's my life, my joy
That he is one amongst millions of people
But for me he's the one-of-a-kind
 
That he is nice and that I love him,
That behond mystery
He is my best reason to live
my answer to eternity
