You've Got to Be Carefully Taught - Bill Lee & John Kerr translation in German

You've Got to Be Carefully Taught

You've got to be taught
To hate and fear,
You've got to be taught
From year to year,
It's got to be drummed
In your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught.

You've got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made,
And people whose skin is a diff'rent shade,
You've got to be carefully taught.

You've got to be taught before it's too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate,
You've got to be carefully taught!

Man muss es dir sorgfältig beibringen

Man muss es dir beibringen,
zu hassen und zu fürchten,
Man muss es dir beibringen,
von Jahr zu Jahr,
Es muss eingetrichtert werden
in dein liebes kleines Ohr,
Man muss es dir sorgfältig beibringen.

Man muss dir beibringen, Angst zu haben
vor Menschen, deren Augen anders aussehen,
und Menschen, deren Haut eine andere Farbe hat,
Man muss es dir sorgfältig beibringen.

Man muss es dir beibringen, bevor es zu spät ist,
bevor du sechs oder sieben oder acht bist,
all die Menschen zu hassen, die deine Verwandten hassen,
Man muss es dir sorgfältig beibringen!
