Großvater STS cover

Another German/Austrian cover.
I've been wanting to cover this beautiful song for a long time and
though it's fairly easy I never got it right.
Love thy lyrics and as most of my subbers are no speakers of German, here's a rough translation:
Grandfather
After each quarrel with mom I first went down to you
And you said "She's alone, you gotta understand, never mind, c'mon, let's have a beer"
Then you said "Life means taking and giving much more"
Which is why one night I took the few bucks from out of your bedside table
To spend them at the discotheque
A couple of days afterwards you asked me for them
I denied everything, screamed hysterically
You look at me sadly, then I started to cry
You just said "Let's forget about it, money should never be that important"

When I told me about the war, when you stood eye to eye a Russian
You offered each other cigarettes, both your fingers on the triggers and trembling with fear
Or your wife who would talk to you all day long
You just said "I just love, and that means I needn't hear every word she says"

Grandfather won't you come down for a quick cup of coffee
Grandfather there's so much I'd like to tell I only understand now
Grandfather, you were my first friend, and that I'll never forget

You were no superhuman and never pretended to be one
That's why you had that certain power
And by the way you lead your life I got an idea of how to make it
Your principle was "First ponder on it, then make up your mind and defend your point of view"
"Never ever use violence but never ever be afraid of anyone, either"


Grandfather won't you come down for a quick cup of coffee
Grandfather there's so much I'd like to tell I only understand now
Grandfather, you were my first friend, and that I'll never forget
