Strawbs - Sheep - translation of the lyrics into German

Sheep - Strawbstranslation in German




Sheep
Schafe
July the fourth in the market town
Vierter Juli in der Marktstadt
Farmers have come for miles around
Bauern sind von weither gekommen
Bringing their wives and children.
Bringen ihre Frauen und Kinder mit.
A farmer stands with his youngest son
Ein Bauer steht bei seinem jüngsten Sohn
Watching their sheep driven from the pen
Beobachtet, wie ihre Schafe aus dem Pferch getrieben werden
The slaughterhouse is waiting.
Das Schlachthaus wartet.
Look they're turning back
Schau, sie kehren um
They're frightened
Sie haben Angst
Dogs are snapping at their heels
Hunde schnappen nach ihren Fersen
Jumping on each other's backs
Springen einander auf den Rücken
Hear their squeals.
Hör ihr Quieken.
The young boy stands looking quite dismayed
Der Junge steht ganz bestürzt da
How can they know they're just animals
Woher sollen sie wissen, sie sind doch nur Tiere
Come pull yourself together.
Komm, reiß dich zusammen.
The farmer tells him to look inside
Der Bauer sagt ihm, er soll hineinschauen
Row after row of raw carcasses
Reihe um Reihe roher Kadaver
Their blood runs in the gutters.
Ihr Blut fließt in den Rinnen.
Listen to their silly bleating
Hör ihr albernes Blöken
Farmer beats them with his stick
Der Bauer schlägt sie mit seinem Stock
Milling by the open door
Drängen sich an der offenen Tür
Don't be sick.
Werd nicht übel.
The young boy
Der Junge
Takes a look around
Schaut sich um
See people watching blankly
Sieht Leute teilnahmslos zuschauen
And he pities them
Und er bemitleidet sie
For they too
Denn auch sie
Look like sheep
Sehen aus wie Schafe
And he tells himself
Und er sagt sich
When he grows up
Wenn er erwachsen ist
When he becomes a farmer
Wenn er Bauer wird
He will just plant seeds of love
Wird er nur Samen der Liebe säen
He will just plant seeds of love
Wird er nur Samen der Liebe säen
He will just plant seeds of love
Wird er nur Samen der Liebe säen
And he will harvest peace.
Und er wird Frieden ernten.
