Lyrics

Geburtstagslied für meine russische Freundin Maria zu ihrem 35. Geburtstag.

Von Halle nach Moskau
Mit Erzähler Einleitung.

In January of ’17, in Malta’s golden light,
Maria from Moscow, so young and so bright,
André from Halle, with humor and charm,
Met in a classroom, where there was no alarm.

Lino, the teacher, soon stepped aside,
Maria and André had laughter to guide.
No time for English, they wandered the town,
Through Valletta’s night, they never slowed down.

One night of tequila, one apple in hand,
Maria flew back to her Russian homeland.
But a kiss was waiting in Cologne’s bright light,
They danced through the Carnival, into the night.

Maria and André, their story began,
In Valletta’s streets, with beers in hand.
From Moscow to Halle, across the wide land,
They’re always connected, their bond will stand.

Through Mallorca’s shores and Oktoberfest’s cheer,
The Moscow forest and mountains so near,
From Dresden to Cape Town, their tale never ends,
For Russia and Germany, they remain close friends.
