Texte von Peter Berliner

Song lyrics reflect life - a dry conclusion that evokes individual feelings, thoughts, longings and experiences. Before I start with the lyrics, I am occupied with a certain subject, which can be just anything. For example an old couple, gently hugging each other even after 50 years of marriage. Or meeting someone after a very long time, which starts a whole avalanche of memories. Sometimes I summarize what I experienced and the text is immediately finished. But sometimes I also have to look at something from several sides and brood some months over it.

You read some of my song texts here.

All

All that isn’t forgiven is frozen
All that isn’t felt is numb
All that isn’t done is lifeless

All that isn’t said is lost
All that isn’t cherished is helpless
All that isn’t warmed is alone

All that isn’t dreamt is restricted
All that isn’t shared is wasted
All that isn’t embraced is cold

All that isn’t risked is fear
All that isn’t released is baggage
All that isn’t valued is suffering

All that isn’t missed is worthless
All that isn’t loved is forgotten
All that isn’t fleeting is love

Na cha prana sanjo - na vai pancanilo m

April 10 (SAMADHI)

This morning I woke up and wished
I could return to my dream
I saw myself as a child, I saw my gran
I saw myself at school, my first love and friends
That I'd long forgotten
I was sad, but then I felt that I would never be alone
Because:

Everything is a part of me
And I'm a part of everything

shree saché – jáyate
Om namah – shivaaya

This is my life
And I want to feel that I live
I never lost my will
Or the love for every new chance

Thank You (SAMADHI)

Sometimes I can't sleep at night
Because the day seems to hurt so much
I think too much, going nowhere

But then I see your smile
And know you understand
Thank you – thank you

Sometimes I laugh, but feel like crying
Because my soul needs rest
And pretend to be something I'm not

But then I see your smile
And know you understand
Thank you – thank you

Sometimes I'm lost and look to heaven
Looking for an answer
Sometimes I seek what I've already got

But then I see your smile
And know you understand
Thank you – thank you

Is our life together just a dream
And not the way it seems
Just a stroke of luck
Which can end any second?
I see your smile
And my doubt is washed away

Strong as never before (SAMADHI)

What is going on with me?
For living there's no time
Wakefully and weariness
Always on the hunt - far away from myself
From myself

Then comes the moment
When it's suddenly all still
Raddled and I want to
Be all elsewhere - and like a new man
New man

And the as strong as never before
And the as strong as never before

Inside the head a hurrican
I'm feeling void and grave
And do not want anything at all
But to be alone - lokk for myself and understand
And understand

I know very well
It's often just up to myself
To simply say: Here and now
This is your chance - to find yourself
Yourself

And the as strong as never before
And the as strong as never before - as never before

Tenju

Na me descha rágau
Na me lobha mohau
Mado neiva me neiva
Mátsarya bhávah

Jeder Tag ist eine Reise
Jeder Weg hat seinen Sinn
Jeder fühlt auf eigner Weise
Jedes Ziel ist auch Beginn

Every day is a journey
Every path has its reason
Everyone feels in their way
Every goal's a beginning

In the cafe (JOY OF LIFE)

He:  What do you think – How do two people meet each other ?
She: I guess it has something to do with fate
He:  Maybe there is someone above suffling cards ?
She: … and giving out the jokers ?
He:  … yes, and the loosing cards
She: I love jokers ...
He:  … and smell so attractively
She: Does it stay this way forever ?
He:  Fate is certainly not responsible for everything
She: Yes, and butterflies in the stomach always need fresh flow
He:  In my stomach there is a whole army of hungry butterflies
She: In my stomach too
He:  What will it be like when we are old ?
She: Then, then you`ll be a giant butterfly for me!
He:  … who flies with me to the one who shuffeled our cards ?
She: Yes, that is someone I always wanted to meet!

… Wherever your wings may carry us, when our time has come, I fly with you …

I cry with joy (JOY OF LIFE)

I do not cry, when the morning is gray
I do not cry, when you're far away Then
I don't cry - Then I don't cry

I do not cry, when there is no hope
I do not cry, when you give me comfort Then
I don't cry - Then I don't cry

But I cry with joy, because we exist
Two hungry souls that met by chance
In this universe, that is as infinite
As our yearning for love, I cry with joy

I do not cry, because you're there for me
I do not cry, when you satisfy my need Then
I don't cry - Then I don't cry

But I cry …

Tenderness (JOY OF LIFE)

The years through our hearts have flown,
And now, they are far away and without fear,
The rhythm of life has been found.

Time leaves us lying beside the road,
Gone by, the race of life knows no rest,
No need for time where we will go - Tenderness, tenderness

Our hands have become old and frail,
And burdened, by all the suffering and pain
Protecting themselves with love

So we truly lived our dreams, and yet,
A feeling still remains until the end, for all eternity
I hold you close as in days gone by,
And look into your face, there is - Tenderness, tenderness

I found myself (NAMASTE)

I found myself - I fought against it far too long
I found myself - the fear has gone now

I found myself - the path was long and without hope
I found myself - now I´m finally there

I found myself - feeling warm inside
I found myself - I´m not alone anymore

I found myself - the moments seems strong and clear
I found myself - and I breath in freedom

You are everything (NAMASTE)

How often do you have the feeling that no-one understands you?
And how often do you simply not understand yourself?
How often do you reluctantly make your way, thinking:
What do I want, who am I?

Refrain:Do you listen to your breathing?
Can you feel how your heart is beating?
Do you sense your infiniteness? You’re everything – that’s what you are -.

How often in life do you battle with the fear of failing?
And yet no-one answers your cry for affection?
How often do you not know where to start
Or how to summon the strength to face another day?

Refrain

Your life – it lives for you.
How often do you wish you could realise your dreams?
But still you succumb to your fears
How often do you wish you could broaden your horizons?
And yet you find 1000 excuses not to?

Refrain

Chocolate (NAMASTE)

If I have my chocolate phase – or my diet days
Whatever happens, it just doesn't matter

Whether I'm nervous - or as calm as Buddha
The main thing is, that you're by my side

If I am restless – or just doing nothing
Whatever happens, it just doesn't matter

If tears fall from heaven – or the sun shines
The main thing is, that you're by my side

Whether I'm searching – or luck finds me
Doesn't matter what the stars say

If I'm feeling sad – or could embrace the world
The main thing is, that you´re by my side
