Lyrics and translation BAP - Dreimohl zehn Johre

Dreimohl zehn Johre

Acryl op Leinwand, enn'nem Kofferraum Bloot,
Ahn ener Ampel heeß et, Elvis wöhr duut.
Zwei, drei Akkorde, en besetzte Fabrik, bleierne Zigg.
Die letzte Rund un morje spill'mer enn Bonn,
Noch eimohl "Hurricane", eh dat mer jonn.
Su möht mer klinge, hühr dir dat ahn,
Dä Wahnsinn, dä Mann!

Ne Eifelbahnhoff un ne eijene Truck,
Die Stones enn Müngersdorf un russ uss dä Stadt.
Kein Sau versteht jet, verstehste dat, Jung?
Ich och nit, na un? Busse un Limousine, Bühne,
Hotels un jottweiswer, der dir jottweiswat verzällt.
Die Strooß ess endlos un jeht övverall lang, jottseidank.

Dreimohl zehn Johre, wo sinn die all hin?
Met Engel jefloore, jäje dä Wind.
Dreimohl zehn Johre, alles riskiert,
Jewonne, verloore, dozojeliehrt.

China jerock un Nicaragua,
Koot enn de Höll jeluhrt enn Afrika,
Me'm Boss jespillt, sujar 'ne Film jedrieht. Dä blieht.
E Glas op die vun uns, die't hinger sich hann,
Mer sinn uns widder, irjendwo, irjendwann,
Wat allerdinx noch paar Daach duhre kann, bess dann

Thirty Years Thrice

Acrylic on canvas, bare feet in the trunk,
At a traffic light they said Elvis was dead.
Two, three chords, a squatted factory, a heavy smoke.
The last round and tomorrow we'll play in Bonn,
Once more "Hurricane" before we go.
That's how we want to sound, listen to that,
The madness, the man!

An Eifel train station and our own truck,
The Stones in Müngersdorf and off we went out of town.
Nobody understands anything, do you get it, boy?
Me neither, so what? Buses and limousines, stages,
Hotels and God knows who tells you God knows what.
The road is endless and goes everywhere, thank God.

Thirty years thrice, where have they all gone?
Flown with angels, against the wind.
Thirty years thrice, risked everything,
Won, lost, learned from it.

Rocked China and Nicaragua,
Looked into hell in Africa,
Played with the Boss, even shot a movie. It will stay.
A glass to those of us who have it behind us,
We'll meet again, somewhere, sometime,
Which, however, can take a few days, until then
