Seeräuber-Jenny

How many of you remember the Threepenny opera (die Dreigroschenoper)?

...und wenn dann der Kopf fällt, sag ich: Hop-la!
Und das Schiff mit acht Segeln,
und mit fünfzig Kanonen,
wird entschwinden mit mir.

the old days... those were the days when we were having fun in flekke, with dreams, as few worries as possible... those were the days when we were young, when we did whatever we wanted. when we did not care about consequences, when we had time to waste. what is youth? what is adolescence? it is something that the young ones, as a right, to burn away.

... and when the heads fell, I said: Hop-la!
And the ship with eight great sails,
and with fifty guns loaded,
woull sail away with me.

those were the days that life burns.

(what was the point of this entry? Well... that's what happens when I am studying for a german test tomorrow + vodka + strong hot coffee + reading for a theatre lecture...)
