[Verse 1]
My brother just said to me:
"Sit right down, without delay
I just got news and I'm sad to say
I'm told I don't have many more days"
Even though I asked him, how could this be
And then my brother just said to me:
"Faded chance happens to us all
We stand today, but in the end we all fall"
[Chorus]
Brother, brother, you cannot say
Brother, I'll love you always
[Verse 2]
Then my brother said to me:
"I have no regrets, I have a very good life"
And I said: "My brother, you mustn't give up now
You have to fight to survive"
And then my brother just said to me:
"I just can't fight, I'm much too weak"
With tears in my eyеs he said to me:
"Oh, my brother, plеase don't you weep"
[Chorus]
Brother, brother, you cannot say
Brother, I'll love you always
Brother, brother
[Bridge]
Destiny is a mystery, that one know in advance
We live our lives in a dreamy fog, with no certainty, just chance
Things do turn out different, than we expected them to be
And what it means to be alive, is still a mystery
[Outro]
Brother, brother, you cannot say
Brother, I'll love you always
Brother, brother, brother, you cannot say
Brother, brother, I'll love you always, brother
