Spanky & Our Gang - Brother Can You Spare a Dime - translation of the lyrics into German




Brother Can You Spare a Dime
Bruder, hast du einen Groschen übrig
Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?
Bruder, hast du einen Groschen übrig?
Gorney, Harburg
Gorney, Harburg
They used to tell me
Sie sagten mir immer
I was building a dream.
Ich baute einen Traum.
And so I followed the mob
Und so folgte ich der Menge
When there was earth to plow
Wenn es Erde zu pflügen gab
Or guns to bear
Oder Waffen zu tragen
I was always there
Ich war immer da
Right on the job.
Direkt bei der Arbeit.
They used to tell me
Sie sagten mir immer
I was building a dream
Ich baute einen Traum
With peace and glory ahead.
Mit Frieden und Ruhm vor mir.
Why should I be standing in line
Warum sollte ich in der Schlange stehen
Just waiting for bread?
Nur um auf Brot zu warten?
Once I built a railroad
Einst baute ich eine Eisenbahn
I made it run
Ich ließ sie fahren
Made it race against time.
Ließ sie gegen die Zeit rasen.
Once I built a railroad
Einst baute ich eine Eisenbahn
Now it's done
Jetzt ist sie fertig
Brother, can you spare a dime?
Bruder, hast du 'nen Groschen übrig?
Once I built a tower up to the sun
Einst baute ich einen Turm bis zur Sonne
Brick and rivet and lime.
Ziegel und Niete und Kalk.
Once I built a tower,
Einst baute ich einen Turm,
Now it's done.
Jetzt ist er fertig.
Brother, can you spare a dime?
Bruder, hast du 'nen Groschen übrig?
Once in khaki suits
Einst in Khaki-Anzügen
Gee we looked swell
Mensch, sahen wir toll aus
Full of that yankee doodle dee dum.
Voll von diesem Yankee Doodle Dee Dum.
Half a million boots went sloggin' through hell
Eine halbe Million Stiefel stapften durch die Hölle
And I was the kid with the drum!
Und ich war das Kind mit der Trommel!
Say don't you remember?
Sag, erinnerst du dich nicht?
They called me Al.
Sie nannten mich Al.
It was Al all the time.
Es war immer Al.
Why don't you remember?
Warum erinnerst du dich nicht?
I'm your pal.
Ich bin dein Kumpel.
Say buddy, can you spare a dime?
Sag Kumpel, hast du 'nen Groschen übrig?
Once in khaki suits,
Einst in Khaki-Anzügen,
Ah, gee we looked swell
Ah, Mensch, sahen wir toll aus
Full of that yankee doodle dee dum!
Voll von diesem Yankee Doodle Dee Dum!
Half a million boots went sloggin' through hell
Eine halbe Million Stiefel stapften durch die Hölle
And I was the kid with the drum!
Und ich war das Kind mit der Trommel!
Oh, say don't you remember?
Oh, sag, erinnerst du dich nicht?
They called me Al.
Sie nannten mich Al.
It was Al all the time.
Es war immer Al.
Say, don't you remember?
Sag, erinnerst du dich nicht?
I'm your pal.
Ich bin dein Kumpel.
Buddy, can you spare a dime?
Kumpel, hast du 'nen Groschen übrig?
