[Verse 1]
Farewell to the mountains
Goodbye to the trees
So long to the ski slopes
Join the absentees
[Verse 2]
Salzburg is a cradle
Rocking you no more
Memory the only thing
That’s still worth living for
[Chorus]
Wiedersehen
Auf Wiedersehen
Wie wir gehen
Auf Wiedersehen
[Verse 3]
Books are in their boxes
Manuscripts are packed
A dealer expressed interest
So paintings were dispatched
[Verse 4]
The ladies from the village
Say tearful good-byes
The gardener locks the greenhouse
Suspicion in his eyes
[Chorus]
Wiedersehen
Auf Wiedersehen
Wie wir gehen
Auf Wiedersehen
[Verse 5]
The world before the war
Exquisite in your dreams
Still bore the angry children
Who only saw extremes
[Verse 6]
You never saw it coming
What was it they lacked?
The civilised rejected
Modernity attacked
[Chorus]
Wiedersehen
Auf Wiedersehen
Wie wir gehen
Auf Wiedersehen
[Verse 7]
Your old friend Freud has helped you
Illuminate the hate
Find motive in desire
But now it’s much too late
[Verse 8]
The train is on the platform
The knife is in your back
Your suitcases are sitting
On the luggage rack
[Chorus]
Wiedersehen
Auf Wiedersehen
Wie wir gehen
Auf Wiedersehen
Farewell to the mountains
