I like this.  Hope you do too

Not Madeleine but other missing children

All missing children are precious.

[Eleanor]

Indeed they are, Sadie.  And that is a lovely song, despite me not understanding a word of it.

[sadie]

No, I dont understand it either Eleanor.

The message comes across without the words.



I enjoyed it and I think that people who understand German will like it even more

Liked the music, the drumming and the singer , as well

the lyrics:

The song is called die Suche / the search
 
For the person who loves me totally,
who accompanies me, argues with me and forgives me
For the person who walks with me and lies in my arms
This song is for you
 

For the person who knows me better than myself
Who keeps every promise they make
For the person who does not bend and looks me in the eyes
This song is for you


And I'll look for you until I've found you
In Rome in Amsterdam or Prague
Berlin or Reykjavik, Paris or Mozambique
I know that you exist.
 
For the person who understands me even when I remain silent
for the person who carries on walking with me even if I have doubts
For the person who looks at themself
Who takes for themself but still carries on giving
This song is for you
 

And I'll look for you until I've found you
In Rome in Amsterdam or Prague
Berlin or Reykjavik, Paris or Mozambique
I know that you exist.
 
And I know that I can find you
Because what belongs together - will find each other
In Berlin or Reykjavik, Paris or Mozambique
I know that you exist
I know that you exist

Thankyou registrar for taking the trouble. 

Those are nice words altho not what i expected !



.... and much better than google translate

[registrar]

Thank you for the find in the first place Sadie,

the words are simple - yet the more powerful for it IMHO

[sadie]

Actually the words are not nice, they are lovely, even tho simple ... as are the sentiments.

Quietly powerful, as you say






I was expecting it to be a list of lost children!

That is the way missing people should be respected and treated.

Not with the lies and libel and filthy insinuations of Hideho (Liz Taylor).

Couldn't agree more 

[Outlook]

Lovely.  Thank you.

Also I have always found the lyrics of Dire Strait's "On Every Street" a touching thought of the search for missing people.

There's gotta be a record of you someplace
You gotta be on somebody's books
The lowdown, a picture of your face
Your injured looks
The sacred and profane
The pleasure and the pain
Somewhere your fingerprints remain concrete
And it's your face I'm looking for on every street

A ladykiller, regulation tattoo
Silver spurs on his heels
Says, what can I tell you, as I'm standing next to you
She threw herself under my wheels
Oh it's a dangerous road
And a hazardous load
And the fireworks over liberty explode in the heat
And it's your face I'm looking for on every street

A three-chord symphony crashes into space
The moon is hanging upside down
I don't know why it is I'm still on the case
It's a ravenous town
And you still refuse to be traced
Seems to me such a waste
And every victory has a taste that's bittersweet
And it's your face I'm looking for on every street

[Puffin]

Good morning.  I like this thread, makes a change from the shenanigans on many of the other ones.   

[sadie]

For you Outlook.  For everyone

[registrar]

yep, perchance sentimental

but positive in it's outlook

which makes a refreshing change

Hope, is nothing to be ashamed of

In fact Hope is what we need a darned side more of

[sadie]

Hope


... and positive thinking


well said Registrar
