Music for my film

This is the main music that I'm going to use in my film:
by luck, one of my course mate helped me out with bringing up this music that is about a grape.

THE TWO GRAPES
LYRICS
by GöTZ WIDMANN


There were once two grapes
Like turtle doves
Undisturbed on a twig
Their whole summer life

At evening when the cicadas sang
Both got the one desire
That isn't normally there in grapes
They were immortally in love

He was a warm dark type
That she loved at him so much
To the nightingale's Symphony
He sang very gentle for her only

Ooh, you my beautiful grape
Believe that I only think of you
You my beautiful bride
With your tender smooth skin

My life, I would exchange to be
Only once to be unified with you
My life, I would exchange to be
Only once to be unified with you

She said: Oh yes, that would be so beautiful
But unfortunately it will never happen
Unlike humans or monkeys
We are not created to do this

You are nowhere long and pointed
And I have nowhere a slot
God didn't wanted this allow to us
So he created us as grapes

Maybe we have in another life
Dedicated ourselves to each other in sin
Without respect to his holy word
And ought to languish here for this

We once wanted not to believe in him
That's why we are now only grapes
At least I am allowed to touch you
And to feel you very close to me.

My life, I would exchange to be
Only once to be unified with you
My life, I would exchange to be
Only once to be unified with you

Then came a young peasant
Just doing his job
Picked all grapes
And threw them in his basket

Our two delicate sweeties
Burst under his feet
But by then to enjoy very briefly
To gush into each other

The happiness in which they lost themselves in each other
Is then fermented in a barrel
At least the two died
By giving themselves to each other

And I sit here today after all
And drink my red wine
Think of the grapes and to us two
And sing very gentle my song

My life, I would exchange to be
Only once to be unified with you
My life, I would exchange to be
Only once to be unified with you
