I only sing with a few friends
When we're at home and we've been drinking
Don't think we've forgotten you
Just last night we were talking about you
Walking toward home you came back to my mind
In bed I turned over and didn't say a thing
And I thought again of your voice so fresh and strange
That gave our group something more
Enrico plays, his wife sings the chorus
Giovanni, as always, listens, off-key as he is
Love songs that still do the heart good
If you close your eyes maybe you can hear us even from there
Last Sunday we went to the lake
I even caught a big pike that looked like a dragon
Then at night on the train we sang softly
That American song you used to sing
Off-key songs, words always a bit wrong
Remember how many nights went by like that
If you close your eyes maybe you can hear us even from there
Love songs that still do the heart good
Let's say almost always, sometimes not, sometimes not
Off-key songs, words always a bit wrong
Remember how many nights went by like that
