On the otherside of the river.

On the other side of the river , there is merrymaking!
On the other side all your hedonistic fantasies shall come true
You many have as many ales , gins and beers that you want
You may carnal relations with numerous women
On the other side you enjoy the folly that is youth!

On this side of the river , there is confinement!
Here we believe in good , sacrifice and peace
You may give up the glitter of the cliche
You may see beyond now , and the shallow
You may be with very few , wait for the right one
On this side we work hard to enjoy life hereafter!

On the other side of the river , there is a boy.
And all his hedonistic fantasies are all coming true.
And on his side is continual , enjoyment.
How can he have room , for what he does not know?
For all he knows is pleasure and pleasure is hedonism.

On this side of the river , there is a girl.
And all her confinement did not pay off.
Trying to join the merry-makers , did not fit.
And eyeing one , and being heartbroken
Heartbreaks do not belong there , only women with loose ideals
And a boy like that belongs to them , belongs to that riverbank
And a girl like that deserves , more .
