Grüeni Banane English translation
von Peter Reber

Yes, we two had it good
Thought it would last forever
But suddenly, you had enough
You said, "That's it, that's enough!"
So what should I do
To make you come back to me?
I'll do the wildest things
Fulfill your every wish
I eat green bananas
Would walk barefoot through fire
To find the next caravan
Searching for you
I eat green bananas
I'd go to the ends of the earth
I'd do all the crazy things
Just to have you back again


Yes, that's how it always goes for me
I always realize it too late
And only figure it out
When the wind has already carried me away
Yes, I would need glasses
That could see a bit for me
They would reveal to me,
To me, the blind prophet

I eat green bananas
Would walk barefoot through fire
To find the next caravan
Searching for you
I eat green bananas
I'd go to the ends of the earth
I'd do all the crazy things
Just to have you back again

I eat green bananas
Would walk barefoot through fire
I'd do all the crazy things
On the way back to you
