Bob Dylan - Ballad of a Thin Man (Live at Nippon Budokan Hall, Tokyo, Japan - March 1, 1978) - translation of the lyrics into German




Ballad of a Thin Man (Live at Nippon Budokan Hall, Tokyo, Japan - March 1, 1978)
Ballade vom schmalen Mann (Live im Nippon Budokan Hall, Tokio, Japan - 1. März 1978)
You walk into the room with your pencil in your hand
Du betrittst den Raum mit deinem Bleistift in der Hand
You see someone naked, and you say, "Who is that man?"
Du siehst jemanden nackt und du sagst: "Wer ist diese Frau?"
You try so hard that you don't understand
Du strengst dich so an, dass du nicht verstehst
Just what you're gonna say when you get home
Was du sagen wirst, wenn du nach Hause kommst
Something is happening, but you don't know what it is
Irgendetwas passiert, aber du weißt nicht, was es ist
Do you, Mr. Jones?
Stimmt's, Frau Jones?
You sneak into the window, and you say, "Is this where it is?"
Du schleichst dich zum Fenster und sagst: "Ist es das, was los ist?"
Somebody points his fingers at you and says, "It's his"
Jemand zeigt mit dem Finger auf dich und sagt: "Es gehört ihr"
And you say, "What's mine?", someone else says, "Well, what is?"
Und du sagst: "Was gehört mir?", jemand anderes sagt: "Na, was ist los?"
You say, "Oh, my God, am I here all alone?"
Du sagst: "Oh, mein Gott, bin ich ganz allein hier?"
Something is happening, but you don't know what it is
Irgendetwas passiert, aber du weißt nicht, was es ist
Do you, Mr. Jones?
Stimmt's, Frau Jones?
You hand in your ticket to go see the geek
Du gibst deine Eintrittskarte ab, um den Freak zu sehen
Who walks up to you and when he hears you speak
Der auf dich zukommt, und wenn er dich sprechen hört
And says, "How does it feel to be such a freak?"
Und sagt: "Wie fühlt es sich an, so ein Freak zu sein?"
And you say, "Impossible", and he hands you a bone
Und du sagst: "Unmöglich", und er gibt dir einen Knochen
Something is happening, and you don't know what it is
Irgendetwas passiert, und du weißt nicht, was es ist
Do you, Mr. Jones?
Stimmt's, Frau Jones?
You have many contacts out there among the lumberjacks
Du hast viele Kontakte da draußen unter den Holzfällerinnen
To get you facts when someone attacks your imagination (imagination)
Um dir Fakten zu liefern, wenn jemand deine Vorstellungskraft angreift (Vorstellungskraft)
But nobody has any respect, anyway they just expect
Aber niemand hat Respekt, sie erwarten sowieso nur
To hand over your check to tax-deductible charity organizations
Dass du deinen Scheck an steuerlich absetzbare Wohltätigkeitsorganisationen übergibst
The sword swallower walks up to you and he kneels
Der Schwertschlucker kommt auf dich zu und kniet nieder
He crosses himself and then he clicks his high heels
Er bekreuzigt sich und klackt dann mit seinen hohen Absätzen
And without further notice, asks you how it feels
Und ohne weitere Umschweife fragt er dich, wie es sich anfühlt
And says, "Here is your throat back, thanks for the loan"
Und sagt: "Hier ist deine Kehle zurück, danke fürs Ausleihen"
Something is happening, and you don't know what it is
Irgendetwas passiert, und du weißt nicht, was es ist
Do you, Mr. Jones?
Stimmt's, Frau Jones?
You crawl into the room like a camel and you frown
Du kriechst wie ein Kamel in den Raum und runzelst die Stirn
You put your eyes in your pocket
Du steckst deine Augen in deine Tasche
And you put your nose into the ground
Und du steckst deine Nase in den Boden
There ought to be a law against you comin' around
Es sollte ein Gesetz dagegen geben, dass du hier auftauchst
You got to be made to be wearing a telephone
Du solltest dazu gebracht werden, ein Telefon zu tragen
But something is happening, and you don't know what it is
Aber irgendetwas passiert, und du weißt nicht, was es ist
Do you, Mr. Jones?
Stimmt's, Frau Jones?
Something is happening here, and you don't know what it is
Irgendetwas passiert hier, und du weißt nicht, was es ist
Do you, Mr. Jones?
Stimmt's, Frau Jones?
