I Take A Lot Of Pride In What I Am - Live At The Philadelphia Civic Center/1970 - Merle Haggard , The Strangers translation in German




I Take A Lot Of Pride In What I Am - Live At The Philadelphia Civic Center/1970
Ich bin stolz auf das, was ich bin - Live Im Philadelphia Civic Center/1970
Things I learned in a hobo jungle
Was ich im Hobo-Dschungel lernte,
Were things they never taught me in a classroom,
War das, was sie nie im Klassenzimmer lehrten,
Like where to find a handout
Wie man eine milde Gabe findet
While thumbin' through Chicago in the afternoon.
Während man nachmittags per Anhalter durch Chicago zieht.
Hey, I'm not braggin' or complainin',
Hey, ich prahle nicht oder klage an,
Just talkin' to myself man to man.
Ich rede nur mit mir selbst, Frau um Frau.
This ole' mental fat I'm chewin' didn't take alot of doin'.
Dieses mentale Fett, das ich kaue, brauchte nicht viel Tun.
But I take alot of pride in what I am.
Aber ich bin sehr stolz auf das, was ich bin.
I guess I grew up a loner,
Ich wuchs wohl als Einzelgänger auf,
I don't remember ever havin' any folks around.
Ich erinnere mich an keine Familie um mich herum.
But I keep thumbin' through the phone books,
Doch ich blättere weiter in Telefonbüchern,
And lookin' for my daddy's name in every town.
Und suche meines Vaters Namen in jeder Stadt.
And I meet lots of friendly people,
Ich treffe viele freundliche Menschen,
That I always end up leavin' on the lam.
Doch am Ende ziehe ich immer heimlich weiter.
Where I've been or where I'm goin'
Wohin ich ging, wohin ich geh,
Didn't take alot of knowin',
Brauchte nicht viel Wissen,
But I take alot of pride in what I am.
Aber ich bin sehr stolz auf das, was ich bin.
I never travel in a hurry,
Ich reise nie in Eile,
'Cause I got nobody waitin' for me anywhere.
Weil nirgends jemand auf mich wartet.
Home is anywhere I'm livin',
Zuhause ist, wo ich gerade lebe,
If it's sleepin' on some vacant bench in City Square,
Ob auf einer leeren Bank im Stadtpark schlafend,
Or if I'm workin' on some road gang,
Oder wenn ich mit einer Straßenbande arbeite,
Or just livin' off the fat of our great land.
Oder einfach vom Uberfluss unseres Lands lebe.
I never been nobody's idol, But at least I got a title,
Ich war nie jemandes Idol, doch habe wenigstens einen Titel,
And I take alot of pride in what I am.
Und ich bin sehr stolz auf das, was ich bin.
I never been nobody's idol, But at least I got a title,
Ich war nie jemandes Idol, doch habe wenigstens einen Titel,
And I take alot of pride in what I am.
Und ich bin sehr stolz auf das, was ich bin.
I take alot of pride in what I am.
Ich bin sehr stolz auf das, was ich bin.
I take alot of pride in what I am...
Ich bin sehr stolz auf das, was ich bin...
