Karel Gott — Lago Maggiore song lyrics and translation

The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Lago Maggiore" by Karel Gott.

Lyrics

er verstand sie gut.
Lago Maggiore
Lago Maggiore
Lago Maggiore.
Denn zwischen ihren Familien
da herrschte seit Jahren Streit
und ihre Liebe war ihnen verboten für alle Zeit.
sie lebten nur für die wenigen Stunden voller Zärtlichkeit
und nur der See war ihr Freund und verstand ihr Leid.
Nur der See…
Und eines Tag’s als die Sonne verschwand und ein Sturm kam auf
fuhren sie beide allein mit dem Boot auf den See hinaus;
sie hielten sich engumschlungen wie Kinder
die ängstlich sind
und immer weiter vom Ufer trieb sie der Wind.
Und das Boot verschwand
Lago Maggiore
Lago Maggiore
nur der See verstand
Lago Maggiore
Lago Maggiore die Liebe war so tief wie der See.
Lago Maggiore
Lago Maggiore.

Lyrics translation

he understood them well.
Lake Maggiore
Lake Maggiore
Lake Maggiore.
Because between their families
there was a dispute for years
and their love was forbidden to them for all time.
they lived only for the few hours full of tenderness
and only the lake was her friend and understood her suffering.
Only the lake…
And one day, when the sun was gone, and a storm arose,
they both went out on the lake alone by boat;
they held themselves tightly wrapped like children
who are afraid
and further and further from the shore the Wind drove them.
And the boat disappeared
Lake Maggiore
Lake Maggiore
only the lake understood
Lake Maggiore
Lake Maggiore love was as deep as the lake.
Lake Maggiore
Lake Maggiore.
