It's about a Grandma who used to beat her grandchild, which is why the child often prayed "Dear Baby Jesus, let her eat shit and die"; about the Omama who would forgive Hitler that her husband "ate the shit of war and died", because he had given her The Cross of Honour of the German Mother.<br />At the end Omama suffocates from her false teeth and grandchild asks her not to cook for the angels, not to bully around the saints, not to denunciate Grandpa, and in case she visits God not to put on the Mother Cross.<br /><br /> Sean Jeatinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08978285783271305489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507673653895812509.post-41485002136741218662018-01-30T21:10:48.058+01:002018-01-30T21:10:48.058+01:00Listening again, and again, to the voice and music...Listening again, and again, to the voice and music, I'm overcome with a deep sense of loss. The translation is poor. Apart for the grandma dying and the shadows of war, I understand very few facts. But, with Ludwig's poignant song, I feel deeply, what the official Remembrance Day often forgets, the tragic, incommensurable cost of war to the German families and soldiers<br />Claudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775039539331403794noreply@blogger.com
