ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE

Some things in life are bad                                                                                                                    X sound: Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life.mp3
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse                   
to swear: fluchen    to curse: fluchen
When you’re chewing on life’s gristle                      
          to chew on life’s gristle ~ “schwer zu knabbern haben”, Probleme haben
Don’t grumble, give a whistle                             
               to grumble: murren, schimpfen, “motzen”
And this’ll help things turn out for the best ..
.
And ... (Music slides into the song)

... always look on the bright side of life ... (Whistle) 

Always look on the light side of life ... (Whistle)

If life seems jolly rotten                                                     jolly (infml,GB) ~very/quite
There’s something you’ve forgotten                                  
rotten (here:) = beschissen
And that’s to laugh and smile and dance and sing

When you are feeling in the dumps                                    
to be feeling in the dumps: niedergeschlagen sein
Don’t be silly chumps                                                       
chump: Trottel
Just purse your lips and whistle – that’s the thing.              
to purse one’s lips (here:) = die Lippen spitzen

And ... always look on the bright side of life ... (Whistle)

Come on. (Others start to join in.)

Always look on the bright side of life ... (Whistle)

For life is quite absurd
And death’s the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow                      
the bow (bau): Verbeugung  to bow (bau): sich verbeugen
Forget about your sin – give the audience a grin                   
the grin/to grin: Grinsen/grinsen
Enjoy it – it’s your last chance anyhow.
So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath
Life’s a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life’s a laugh and death’s a joke, it’s true
You see it’s all a show
Keep’em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you                                 

And always look on the bright side of life ... (Whistle)

Always look on the right side of life ... (Whistle)

Come on guys, cheer up.

Always look on the bright side of life ...

Always look on the bright side of life ...

Worse things happen at sea, you know.

Always look on the bright side of life.

I mean – what have you got to lose?                                                      from “Monty Python Sings”
You know, you come from nothing
- you’re going back to nothing.                    
                                                   This song composed and sung by Eric Idle
What have you lost? Nothing!                                                                                               

Always look on the right side of life ... (Fade ...)
