Wenn rot wie Rubin
die Sonne im Meer versinkt
Ein Lied aus
vergangener Zeit in den Herzen klingt
Das Lied, es erzählt
von einem
Der ging an Bord
Und da sagte er zur Liebsten ein Abschiedswort
„Weine nicht, wenn
ich einmal nicht wiederkehr'
Such einen andern dir
Nimm es nicht so
schwer
Und eine weiße Taube
fliegt dann zu dir
Bringt einen letzten
Gruß übers Meer von mir“
La Paloma, ade (La
Paloma, ade)
Wie die wogende See
So ist das Leben ein Kommen und Gehen
Und wer kann es je verstehen?
La Paloma, ade (La Paloma, ade)
Wie die wogende See
So ist das Leben ein Kommen und Gehen
Und wer kann es je verstehen?
Sie sah
Jeden Morgen fragend
hinaus zum Kai
Sein Boot, „La
Paloma“
Es war nie mehr dabei
Und eine weiße Taube
zog übers Meer
Da wusste sie, es
gibt keine Wiederkehr!
La Paloma, ade (La
Paloma, ade)
Wie die wogende See
So ist das Leben ein Kommen und Gehen
Doch wer kann es je verstehen?
La Paloma, ade (La Paloma, ade)
Wie die wogende See
So ist das Leben ein Kommen und Gehen
Doch wer kann es je verstehen?

Elvis Aaron Presley(January 8, 1935– August
16, 1977) was an American singer and actor. Dubbed the "King
of Rock and Roll", he is regarded as one of the
most significant cultural icons of the 20th century.
His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance
style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines
during a transformative
era in race relations, led him to both great success
and initial
controversy.
Presley was born in Tupelo,
Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee,
with his family when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in 1954,
recording at Sun Recordswith
producer Sam Phillips, who
wanted to bring the sound of African-American
musicto a wider audience. Presley, on
rhythm acoustic guitar, and accompanied by lead guitarist Scotty Mooreand
bassist Bill Black, was a
pioneer of rockabilly, an
uptempo, backbeat-driven
fusion of country musicand rhythm and blues. In
1955, drummer D. J. Fontanajoined to complete the lineup of Presley's classic quartet and RCA Victoracquired
his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker,
who would manage him for more than two decades. Presley's first RCA Victor single, "Heartbreak
Hotel", was released in January 1956 and became a number-one
hit in the United States. Within a year, RCA would sell ten million Presley
singles. With a series of successful network television
appearances and chart-topping records, Presley became the leading figure of the
newly popular sound of rock and roll.
In November 1956, Presley made his film debut
in Love Me
Tender. Drafted into military
service in 1958, Presley relaunched his
recording career two years later with some of his most commercially successful
work. He held few
concerts, however, and guided by Parker, proceeded to devote much of the 1960s
to making Hollywood films and soundtrack albums, most of them critically
derided. In 1968, following a seven-year break from live
performances, he returned to the stage in the acclaimed television comeback
special Elvis,
which led to an extended Las Vegasconcert
residency and a string of highly profitable tours. In 1973, Presley gave the
first concert by a solo artist to be broadcast around the world, Aloha from
Hawaii. Years of prescription drug abuse and
unhealthy eating habits severely compromised his health, and he died suddenly
in 1977 at his Gracelandestate
at the age of 42.
Love Me Tender is an EPby Elvis Presley,
containing the four songs from the motion
picture of the same name. It was released by RCA Victorin
November 1956. The EP peaked at #9 on Top Pop Albumschart with sales of over 600,000, as well as making it to #35 on the
singles chart. It was
simultaneously certified Gold and Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Americaon March 27, 1992
Love me tender, love me sweet
Never let me go
You have made my life complete
And I love you so
Love me tender, love
me true
All my dreams fulfilled
For my darling I love you
And I always will
Love me tender, love
me long
Take me to your heart
For it's there that I belong
And we'll never part
Love me tender, love
me true
All my dreams fulfilled
For my darling I love you
And I always will
Love me tender, love
me dear
Tell me you are mine
I'll be yours through all the years
'Til the end of time
Love me tender, love
me true
All my dreams fulfilled
For my darling I love you
And I always will.

Making my way
downtown
Walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way through the crowd
And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into
the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight
It's always times
like these when I think of you
And wonder if you ever think of me
'Cause everything's so wrong, and I don't belong
Living in your precious memory
'Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into
the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
Oh, 'cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight
And I, I don't wanna
let you know
I, I drown in your memory
I, I don't wanna let this go
I, I don't
Making my way
downtown
Walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound
Staring blankly
ahead, just making my way
Making a way through the crowd
And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into
the sky
Do you think time would pass us by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you, oh-oh
If I could fall into
the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
If I could just hold you tonight.
SO
LONG, FAREWELL
