Bessie Smith - Wasted Life Blues (with James P. Johnson) [with James P. Johnson] - translation of the lyrics into German




Wasted Life Blues (with James P. Johnson) [with James P. Johnson]
Verschwendetes Leben Blues (mit James P. Johnson) [mit James P. Johnson]
I′ve lived a life but nothin' I′ve gained
Ich habe ein Leben gelebt, aber nichts gewonnen
Each day, I'm full of sorrow and pain
Jeden Tag bin ich voller Kummer und Schmerz
No one seems to care enough for poor me
Niemand scheint sich genug um mich Arme zu kümmern
To give me a word of sympathy
Um mir ein Wort des Mitgefühls zu geben
Oh, me, oh, my
Ach je, ach je
Wonder what will the end be
Ich frag mich, was das Ende sein wird
Oh, me, oh, my
Ach je, ach je
Wonder what will become of poor me
Ich frag mich, was aus mir Armer werden wird
No father to guide me, no mother to care
Kein Vater, der mich führt, keine Mutter, die sich sorgt
Must bear my troubles all alone
Muss meine Sorgen ganz allein tragen
Not even a brother to help me share
Nicht mal ein Bruder, der mir hilft zu teilen
This burden I must bear alone
Diese Last, die ich allein tragen muss
Oh, me, oh, my
Ach je, ach je
Wonder what will my end be
Ich frag mich, was mein Ende sein wird
Oh, me, oh, my
Ach je, ach je
Wonder what will become of poor me
Ich frag mich, was aus mir Armer werden wird
I'm settin′ and thinkin′ of the days gone by
Ich sitze und denke an die vergangenen Tage
They filled my heart with pain
Sie füllten mein Herz mit Schmerz
I'm too weak to stand and too strong to cry
Ich bin zu schwach zum Stehen und zu stark zum Weinen
But I′m forgettin' it all in vain
Doch ich vergess' es alles umsonst
Oh, me, oh, my
Ach je, ach je
Wonder what will my end be
Ich frag mich, was mein Ende sein wird
Oh, me, oh, my
Ach je, ach je
Wonder what will become of poor me
Ich frag mich, was aus mir Armer werden wird
I′ve traveled and wandered almost everywhere
Ich bin gereist und gewandert fast überall
To git a little joy from life
Um ein wenig Freude vom Leben zu bekommen
Still I've gained nothin′ but wars and despairs
Doch ich gewann nichts als Kampf und Verzweiflung
Still strugglin' in this world of strife
Kämpfe immer noch in dieser Welt des Streits
Oh, me, oh, my
Ach je, ach je
Wonder what will my end be
Ich frag mich, was mein Ende sein wird
Oh, me, oh, my
Ach je, ach je
Wonder what will become of poor me
Ich frag mich, was aus mir Armer werden wird
