No house, no homeland
Brahms, Johannes
My jacket is still whole,
and my glass yet full of gin!
World, go on your way;
I will not ask where.
No house, no homeland,
No wife and no child,
So I whirl, like a piece of straw,
in rain and wind!
Ebb and flow,
soon there and soon here;
World, if you do not ask after me,
why should I ask after you?
