Freddie Mercury - The Great Pretender (original 1987 extended version) - translation of the lyrics into German




The Great Pretender (original 1987 extended version)
Der große Blender (Original Extended Version von 1987)
Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Oh ja, ich bin der große Blender
Pretending I'm doing well
Tu so, als ginge es mir gut
My need is such, I pretend too much
Mein Bedürfnis ist so, ich tu zu viel vor
I'm lonely but no one can tell
Ich bin einsam, doch niemand sieht's an
Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Oh ja, ich bin der große Blender
Adrift in a world of my own
Verloren in meiner eigenen Welt
I play the game but to my real shame
Ich spiel das Spiel, doch zu meiner Schande
You've left me to dream all alone
Hast du mich allein träumen gelassen
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Zu echt ist dies Gefühl des Scheins
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
Zu echt, fühl ich, was mein Herz nicht verheimlicht
Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Oh ja, ich bin der große Blender
Just laughing and gay like a clown
Lache nur und fröhlich wie ein Clown
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
Ich scheine zu sein, was nicht ich bin, siehst du
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Ich trag mein Herz wie eine Krone
Pretending that you're still around
Tu so, als wärst du noch hier
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
Zu echt, fühl ich, was mein Herz nicht verheimlicht
Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Oh ja, ich bin der große Blender
Just laughing and gay like a clown
Lache nur und fröhlich wie ein Clown
I seem to be what I'm not you see
Ich scheine zu sein, was nicht ich bin, du siehst
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Ich trag mein Herz wie eine Krone
Pretending that you're
Tu so, als wärst
Pretending that you're still around
Tu so, als wärst du noch hier
