We share a room and bed
brother dear, come and be so kind *
brother dear, come touch me
slide closely to me
In front of the bed, a black hole
and every sheep falls inside
I am already too old, yet still count them
because I cannot sleep
Under the navel, in the branches
a white dream is already waiting
brother dear, come hold tightly
and shake the leaves from the tree for me
Play a game with me
give me your hand and
play with me
a game
play with me
a game
play with me
because we are alone
play with me
a game
father, mother, child
Dear brother's hand hurts
he turns to the wall again
the brother helps me now and then
so that I can sleep
Play a game
with me
give me your hand and
play with me
a game
play with me
a game
play with me
because we are alone
play with me
a game
father, mother, child
* Brüderlein is also a slang term for a gay person
These May be true but here is a diffrent version which can be read
the same way in German:
We share a room and the bed
Brother dear please go right ahead
Brother dear come touch me here
Slide to me so close and near
By the bed a big black hole
In they jump all the sheep
Much to old but I count them still
But I cannot fall asleep
Past my navel in the bush
Waiting there white fantasies
Brother dear come hold me tight
And shake for me leaves from the trees
Play a game with me
Give me your hand and
Platy with me
A game
Play with me
A game
Play with me
'Cause we're alone now
Play with me
Father Mother Child
My brother dear hand in pain
He rolls over once again
my brother helps me now and then
so that I can sleep again
Play a game with me
Give me your hand and
Platy with me
A game
Play with me
A game
Play with me
'Cause we're alone now
Play with me
Father Mother Child
