It was 9 years ago today that Lisa and I boarded a train in Antwerp to Amsterdam. It was in Amsterdam where we met our Berlin friends and had the most amazing and memorable time of our lives. Nine years ago. Unbelievable!

stephan remmler – Keine Angst hat der Papa mir gesagt.mp3

I listened to this song over and over on that trip. I really am not sure what it’s about but I always had the feeling it had something to do with premature ejaculation.

For those of you not lucky enough to have sat through 10 years of German class, here are the lyrics translated à la Altavista Babel Fish:

I saw Luise to each day completely alone on the meadow which I saw if it undressed attracted me. It was not only above without it was altogether not without which it without was that was only without man. And I thought of the things which we both would never make but which did not come then have I thought; because it herueberkam to me and it smiles on me down and it says to me: I love you today night. No fear said the dad to me no fear says the mummy me but if that says the Luise completely lies to me in bed then that did not have the consequences the Luise gladly. No fear said the dad to me no fear has the mummy me says… My buddy in the stasse could at all do not seize which they saw considered it strange. And I was just as if I this woman in the arms held in such a way there would I not which happened. As only the small Stephan came to the large beautiful Mrs. ran surely everyone thought us saw itself. But Luise smiles quietly it white in its way which it wants and makes it somehow also true. No fear said the dad to me no fear has the mummy me gasagt… No fear no fear! If one asks: as it continued the tendency remained further cheerful or was there frustration gradually nevertheless? I must say the Luise was in this small crisis of the largest elegance and discretion. And as it can end better than in its beautiful hands it held the luck and did not release it. Again the Luise smiles as at the beginning on the meadow and the joy meinerseits was finally large. No fear said the dad to me no fear has the mummy me says… No fear said the dad to me no fear has the mummy me says… nevertheless if that the Luise says completely lies to me in the bed then that has now the consequences that Luise gladly! No fear no fear!
