Compilation of the Heart - Wading shallow Waters

Ja, wohl bin ich nur ein Wanderer, ein Waller auf der Erde; seid Ihr denn mehr? - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Die Leiden des jungen Werthers, Buch II, 16. Juni

Once more I am a wanderer, a pilgrim, through the world.
But what else are you!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe – The Sorrows of Young Werther, Part II, June 16th
Literal: Yes, well I'm just a wanderer, a pilgrim on earth! Are you more, then?


~
Should Old Acquaintance be forgot,
and never thought upon;
The flames of Love extinguished,
and fully past and gone:
Is thy sweet Heart now grown so cold,
that loving Breast of thine;
That thou canst never once reflect
On Old long syne.
CHORUS:
On Old long syne my Jo,
On Old long syne,
That thou canst never once reflect,
On Old long syne.
James Watson - Old Long Syne
