Paula (akustisch) English translation
von Wilhelmine & Madeline Juno

Best friend, invincible
I cried on your easy shoulder
When every freckle still stood for a wish
Paula was always there (heh)

Tracy Chapman in the hammock
Because I don't know a world where I had parents
Always running away, moving, painting white walls
Paula was always there

Like the sea and the rain coming together
You just took my fear away

Oh Paula
Sometimes I believe you can do magic
Why are you so good at it?
I trust you with everything

Oh Paula
I hardly believe that I can do that too
But I love your courage
I wish I were a bit like you (heh)


Two octaves, four times 16 bars
To tell you how much respect I have
No matter how dark it was
You laughed with me

Where there used to be travels, there are now kids
Do you remember how free we were? Today everyone sings along
What you gave me, I now give back to you, Paula
This song is for you

Like the sea and the rain coming together
You took away my fear of life

Oh Paula
Sometimes I believe you can do magic
Why are you so good at it?
I trust you with everything

Oh Paula
I hardly believe that I can do that too
But I love your courage
I wish I were a bit like you
(Paula, Paula, oh)

Paula was always there, yeah, yeah, yeah

Paula was always there


Oh Paula
Sometimes I believe you can do magic
Why are you so good at it?
I trust you with everything
