Behind me you can see them
The never-do-wells learn to stand erect
On our vagabounds journey
We do things our own way
We're feasting until dawn
Until blood and bones show
After that hide in dark corners
And share the booty like thiefs
Only you
Can be part of the whole
You can run away from your life
And roam with us through the streets
Only you
Can be part of the whole
Because of this, we're here
We're admired and despised
In fine clothes at noble tables
You hear us speak of riches
To serve is a pain to us
A rope at the neck is simply itchy
And for that we're hated by the jealous
But at night, we take their wives
We do it like the sundial
We only count the bright/merry hours
Only you
Can be part of the whole
You can run away from your life
And roam with us through the streets
Only you
Can be part of the whole
Because of this, we're here
We're admired and despised
Soft love is sacred to us
But most time we're in a hurry
Because the one who's not in time
Has to take what's left over
Only you
Can be part of the whole
You can run away from your life
And roam with us through the streets
Only you
Can be part of the whole
Because of this, we're here
We're admired and despised
You, only you
Can be part of the whole
Risen from the ashes
We're admired and despised"
I think this is mostly a song to the fans. In Extremo often appear in the guise of a band of seven vagabounds and are in fact themself the bards, singers, tramps and sailors of their songs. "Admired and despised" is a line from the opening of one of their older songs and "only you can be part of the wholw" sounds like a clear thank you to the fans.
