Und es war Sommer English translation
von Peter Maffay

It was a beautiful day
The last one in August
The sun was blazing
As if it knew

The air was shimmering hot
And to be alone
I told the others
I had no time today

Then I met her and looked into her eyes
And somehow I had the feeling
As if she was waving to me and seemed to say
Come sit with me

I was 16 and she was 31
And I didn't know much about love
She knew everything
And she made me feel
I was no longer a child
And it was summer


She acted as if I wasn't there at all
And only wore her long hair over her shoulders
I was embarrassed and didn't know where to look
My eyes were fixed on her

I can understand
I heard her say
Just because you're young
You don't do what you feel

But stay with me
Until the sun turns red
Then you'll see

We both went down to the beach
And the boy
Shyly took her hand
But as a man, I saw the sun rise
And it was summer
It was summer


It was summer
The first time in my life
And it was summer
The very first time
And as a man, I saw the sun rise
And it was summer
It was summer
It was summer
