Tell Me Old Man Songtext
von Barış Manço

Tell me old man, why do the winds blow?
Tell me old man, where do the winds go?

The winds tell me they know their way
Ringing the changes from day to day
North turns to South, East turns to West
They go where they have go to

The winds tell me they know their way
Ringing the changes from day to day
North turns to South, East turns to West
They go where they have go to

Tell me old man, why is the sky grey?
Tell me old man, what do the clouds say?


They tell me rain has its season
Life has it sadness for a good reason
And all their darkness just hides their treasure
Sunlight and rain for the earth

They tell me rain has its season
Life has it sadness for a good reason
And all their darkness just hides their treasure
Sunlight and rain for the earth

Tell me old man, why do the birds sing?
Tell me old man, what does their song bring?

Their song is the voice of love
Falling to earth from the skies above
And every note has its ring of meaning
Happiness and joy to earth

Their song is the voice of love
Falling to earth from the skies above
And every note has its ring of meaning
Happiness and joy to earth
