Wir singen den Abijahrgang 2005 „weg“!!!

Der Text des Songs „Father and Son“ von Cat Stevens, den ein Teil des Kollegiums den Abiturienten mit auf den Weg gab, wurde ohne die letzte Originalstrophe, dafür aber mit einer selbst gedichteten „geschmettert“....

Father
It’s not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You’re still young, that’s your fault,
There’s so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I’m happy.

I was once like you are now, and I know that it’s not easy,
To be calm when you’ve found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you’ve got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It’s always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there’s a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

Father
It’s not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You’re still young, that’s your fault,
There’s so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I’m happy.
(son-- away away away, I know I have to
Make this decision alone - no)

Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It’s hard, but it’s harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I’d agree, but it’s them you know not me.

Now there’s a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
(father-- stay stay stay, why must you go and
Make this decision alone? )

Und nun ist es schon soweit,

ja, die Schule ist vorbei für Euch.

Ihr sagt jetzt alle „bye“ zu unsrer Käthe.

Seid nicht traurig, es ist schön,

ihr werdet Eure eignen Wege gehen,

doch wir hoffen auf ein baldiges Wiederseh’n.

Wir sagen „Tschüß“ zu Euch!

Der Lehrerchor sang unter der musikalischen Leitung von Frauke Adams an der Akustikgitarre und Wiebke Scheler am Klavier.
