What Do I Know? - Copeland translation in German

What Do I Know?

It's brittle and it trembles as the wind is coming toward
And if you string it up it dries right out with time
So raise your glass to that new dollar in the bank we're reaching for
But the drink was sweeter before we had a dime

But you're far away now and you've got troubles all your own
Just to spend your whole life shooting down

Ooh ahh, what do I know? What do I know?
Ooh ahh, what do I know? What do I know?

If you feel restless where you are, it may be easier to stay
There are a million other fools to make your bed
And they'll be closing all the shades to keep you right there in that grave
And I'll be knocking 'cause you never left my head

But you're far away now and you've got troubles all your own
Just to spend your whole life counting down

Ooh ahh, what do I know? What do I know?
Ooh ahh, what do I know? What do I know?

Ooh ahh, what do I know? What do I know?
Ooh ahh, what do I know? What do I know?

Was Weiß Ich?

Es ist spröde und zittert, wenn der Wind aufzieht.
Hängt man es auf, trocknet es mit der Zeit völlig aus.
Heb dein Glas auf den neuen Dollar, den wir so ersehnen,
Doch der Trunk war süßer, bevor wir Geld besaßen.

Doch du bist fern, hast nun eigene Sorgen,
Verbrennst dein Leben nur im Niederringen.

Ooh ahh, was weiß ich? Was weiß ich?
Ooh ahh, was weiß ich? Was weiß ich?

Fühlst du Rastlosigkeit dort, bleibt man leichter.
Millionen Narren richten dir das Lager,
Sie schließen Jalousien, um dich im Grab zu wiegen,
Doch ich klopfe, weil du stets in mir liegst.

Doch du bist fern, hast nun eigene Sorgen,
Zählst dein ganzes Leben nur noch herunter.

Ooh ahh, was weiß ich? Was weiß ich?
Ooh ahh, was weiß ich? Was weiß ich?

Ooh ahh, was weiß ich? Was weiß ich?
Ooh ahh, was weiß ich? Was weiß ich?
