Lyrics and translation Rolf Zuckowski - Ritter-Reggae

Ritter-Reggae

Ritter Tom wird hoch geehrt, er hat'n Handy statt 'nem Schwert.
Wird's brenzlig, ruft der Rittersmann einfach seine Mama an.
Ja, so san s', ja, so san s',
Ja, so san s', die jungen Rittersleut.
Ja, so san s', ja, so san s': Die jungen Rittersleut!
Ja, so san s', ja, so san s',
Ja, so san s', die jungen Rittersleut.
Ja, so san s', ja, so san s': Die jungen Rittersleut!
Ein junger Ritter namens Mike reitet auf dem Mountainbike.
Viel zu schnell! Oje, jetzt fallt er!
Zum Glück war der Helm nicht aus'm Mittelalter.
Ja, so san s', ja, so san s'...
Tina und ihre coolen Schwestern, Ritterfräulein nicht von gestern,
Hör'n sich ihren Minnesang
Lieber aus'm Walkman an.'
Ja, so san s', ja, so san s'...
Dass sie ihn liebt, die Melanie, erfährt der junge Ritter nie.
Sie kann nie sagen, was sie fühlt,
Weil er immer Gameboy spielt.
Ja, so san s', ja, so san s'...
Ritter Rolf von Hamburg-Hafen konnte mal des Nachts nicht schlafen.
Da hat er sich die ganze Nacht
Kinderlieder ausgedacht.
Ja, so san s', ja, so san s'...
Sternenschnuppenfrau Margitta liebt Wernherr, ihren Gitar-Ritter.
Wer Glück hat, kann die beiden sehn, mit ihrer Kuh ins Kino gehn.
Ja, so san s', ja, so san s'...

Knight Reggae

Knight Tom is highly honored, he has a cell phone instead of a sword.
When things get dicey, the knight simply calls his mom.
Yes, that's how they are, yes, that's how they are,
Yes, that's how they are, the young knights.
Yes, that's how they are, yes, that's how they are: The young knights!
Yes, that's how they are, yes, that's how they are,
Yes, that's how they are, the young knights.
Yes, that's how they are, yes, that's how they are: The young knights!
A young knight named Mike rides a mountain bike.
Way too fast! Oh, there he goes tumbling!
Luckily, the helmet wasn't from the Middle Ages.
Yes, that's how they are, yes, that's how they are...
Tina and her cool sisters, lady knights who aren't from yesterday,
Listen to their minnesang
Preferably from the Walkman.
Yes, that's how they are, yes, that's how they are...
That she loves him, Melanie, the young knight will never know.
She can never say what she feels,
Because he's always playing Gameboy.
Yes, that's how they are, yes, that's how they are...
Knight Rolf from Hamburg-Hafen couldn't sleep at night.
So he spent the whole night
Thinking up children's songs.
Yes, that's how they are, yes, that's how they are...
Shooting star wife Margitta loves Wernherr, her guitar knight.
If you're lucky, you can see the two of them, going to the movies with their cow.
Yes, that's how they are, yes, that's how they are...
