Ein Bild kann nicht lachen so wie Du English translation
von Peter Maffay

Your house is a fortress
And I'm knocking at your door
Please open!
Behind all your windows there's no sign of life
And I've got the impression
That you don't live here anymore
In my thoughts I'm going home
And with every step I'm feeling lonely
Your pictures in my room
Are like dreams of a beautiful time
But a picture cannot laugh like you


Yes
And a picture cannot weep like you
Oh no
A picture cannot be tender
It cannot understand me
And I have to go my way alone
A thousand streets, a thousand times
When you love
What does a number mean?
I'll be searching you
For all my life
And I'm having your picture with me everywhere
But a picture cannot laugh like you

Yes
And a picture cannot weep like you
Oh no
A picture cannot be tender
It cannot understand me
And I have to go my way alone
But a picture cannot laugh like you

(Refrain 2x letzter Vers)
