SPERRGUT

Sammle
metallne Silbe
hölzernes Wort
bindende Glieder
und alles leuchtet
in den wildesten
Eigenfarben
das sind Seifenkisten
                  ohnegleichen

Charlie Chaplin’s Theme Music for ‘Modern Times’

Smile though your heart is aching,
Smile even though it’s breaking,
When there are clouds in the sky
You’ll get by.

If you smile
through your fear and sorrow,
Smile and maybe tomorrow,
You’ll see the sun come shining through for you.

Light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness,
Although a tear may be ever so near.

That’s the time,
You must keep on trying,
Smile, what’s the use of crying,
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile,
If you just smile.

Lyrics by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons – 1954
