The two guitars

Two gypsies without taking a break
are scratching on their guitars
From the depth of nights they revive
All my memories
 
Without knowing there's inside me
A big flood of distress
They bring back with their fingers
My youth of craziness
 
Hey, once again, play it once again
Again and again and again and again
Play it again
 
Play gypsies, play for me
With more passion than that
To drown out the voice
That speaks to my soul
 
Where are you hurt, why are you hurt ?
Ah you have a headache
But drink less today, you'll drink more tomorrow
And even more the day after tomorrow
 
Hey, once again, play it once again
Again and again and again and again
Play it again
 
I want to laugh and sing
And drink to cover my pain
To forget the past
That I'm carrying
 
Come on, bring me strong wine
Because the wine releases me
Oh, pour it, give me even more
So that I can get drunk
 
Hey, once again, play it once again
Again and again and again and again
Play it again
 
Two guitars throw in my thoughts
An infinite distress
As explaining the vanity
of our existence
 
What are we living, why do we even live ?
What is the reason to be alive ?
You live today, tomorrow you'll be dead
And even more dead the day after tomorrow
 
Hey, once again, play it once again
Again and again and again and again
Play it again
 
When I'll be dead drunk
Weak and pathetic
And that you'll see my body
Rolling down under the table
So then, then you can stop
Your resonating songs
But until that keep playing !
Play, it's my order
 
Hey, once again, play it once again
Again and again and again and again
Play it again
