Billie Holiday - God Bless the Child (1956) - translation of the lyrics into German




God Bless the Child (1956)
Gott Segne das Kind (1956)
Them that's got shall have
Wer hat, der kriegt noch mehr
Them that's not shall lose
Wer nichts hat, dem nimmt man's weg
So the Bible says and it still is news
So steht's in der Bibel, es gilt auch heut
Mama may have, Papa may have
Mama hat vielleicht, Papa hat vielleicht
But God bless the child that's got his own, that's got his own
Doch Gott segne das Kind, das sein Eigen hat, das sein Eigen hat
Yes the strong get smart
Die Starken, die werden klug
While the weak ones fade
Die Schwachen vergehn im Nu
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Leere Taschen machen niemals Karriere
Mama may have, Papa may have
Mama hat vielleicht, Papa hat vielleicht
But God bless the child that's got his own, that's got his own
Doch Gott segne das Kind, das sein Eigen hat, das sein Eigen hat
Money, you've got lots of friends
Geld, du hast viele Freunde mein
They're crowding around your door
Sie drängen sich vor deiner Tür
But when you're gone and spending ends
Doch wenn du pleite bist und zu Ende ist der Schein
They don't come no more
Kommt keiner mehr herfür
Rich relations give crusts of bread and such
Reiche Verwandte geben Brotkrusten klein
You can help yourself, but don't take too much
Nimm dir was du brauchst, doch nicht zu viel nein
Mama may have, Papa may have
Mama hat vielleicht, Papa hat vielleicht
But God bless the child that's got his own, that's got his own
Doch Gott segne das Kind, das sein Eigen hat, das sein Eigen hat
Money you've got lots of friends
Geld, du hast viele Freunde mein
They're crowding around your door
Sie drängen sich vor deiner Tür
But when you're gone and spending ends
Doch wenn du pleite bist und zu Ende ist der Schein
They don't come no more
Kommt keiner mehr herfür
Rich relations give crusts of bread and such
Reiche Verwandte geben Brotkrusten klein
You can help yourself, but don't take too much
Nimm dir was du brauchst, doch nicht zu viel nein
Mama may have, Papa may have
Mama hat vielleicht, Papa hat vielleicht
But God bless the child that's got his own, that's got his own
Doch Gott segne das Kind, das sein Eigen hat, das sein Eigen hat
Here just don't worry about nothing cause he's got his own
Er sorgt sich um nichts, denn er hat sein Eigen
Yes, he's got his own
Ja, er hat sein Eigen
