Billy Bragg - Bread & Circuses - translation of the lyrics into German

Bread & Circuses - Billy Braggtranslation in German




Bread & Circuses
Brot & Zirkusspiele
Crowds gather round kneeling at the feet of common thieves
Mengen versammeln sich kniend zu Füßen gewöhnlicher Diebe
Hungry for the word, but God would never speak through such as these
Hungrig nach dem Wort, aber Gott würde niemals durch solche wie diese sprechen
Such as these
Solche wie diese
Who offer healing hands and balms, and redemption
Die heilende Hände, Balsam und Erlösung anbieten
A few would cross their palms
Einige wenige würden ihnen die Hände schmieren
They'll tell your troubles to the Lord for however much you can afford
Sie werden deine Sorgen dem Herrn erzählen, für soviel du dir leisten kannst
Hands holding hands in the circle of the sinners and the saints
Hände halten Hände im Kreis der Sünder und der Heiligen
Memories that linger from the cradle, placing puzzles in the grave
Erinnerungen, die von der Wiege an haften bleiben, legen Rätsel ins Grab
In the grave
Ins Grab
No mortal skin and bone can live on bread and circuses alone
Kein sterbliches Fleisch und Blut kann von Brot und Zirkusspielen allein leben
The spirit needs must drive the mystery of why you're alive
Der Geist muss das Geheimnis antreiben, warum du lebst
They look in their book and they read
Sie schauen in ihr Buch und sie lesen
But their cold hearts say "Follow me"
Aber ihre kalten Herzen sagen "Folge mir"
Dance in the dust in the frenzy of the desperately in need
Tanze im Staub im Rausch der verzweifelt Bedürftigen
Led by the voices of the men who invoke ritual to hide their greed
Geführt von den Stimmen der Männer, die Rituale beschwören, um ihre Gier zu verbergen
Hide their greed
Ihre Gier zu verbergen
Come every tongue, every eye across the crumbling earth and cracking skies
Kommt jede Zunge, jedes Auge über die zerbröckelnde Erde und berstenden Himmel
The gates of hell stand open wide, but the path of glory you walk
Die Tore der Hölle stehen weit offen, aber den Pfad des Ruhms gehst du
Single file
Einer nach dem anderen
They look in their book and they read
Sie schauen in ihr Buch und sie lesen
But their cold hearts say "Follow me"
Aber ihre kalten Herzen sagen "Folge mir"
These men make a cage for the very souls they came here to be freed
Diese Männer bauen einen Käfig für genau die Seelen, die zu befreien sie hierherkamen
They turn off their lights for their tents they're fixing to leave
Sie löschen ihre Lichter, denn sie bauen ihre Zelte ab, um zu gehen
They look in their book and they read
Sie schauen in ihr Buch und sie lesen
But their cold hearts say "Follow me"
Aber ihre kalten Herzen sagen "Folge mir"
They'll close all their books and they'll leave
Sie werden all ihre Bücher schließen und sie werden gehen
Their cold hearts say "Follow me"
Ihre kalten Herzen sagen "Folge mir"
They'll close their book and leave
Sie werden ihr Buch schließen und gehen
They'll close up their books and they'll leave
Sie werden ihre Bücher zuklappen und gehen
But you'll remain still in pain
Aber du wirst bleiben, immer noch im Schmerz
