People Like Us (Remastered)
Menschen wie wir (Remastered)
In 1950 when I was born
Als ich 1950 geboren wurde,
Papa couldn't afford to buy us much
konnte Papa es sich nicht leisten, uns viel zu kaufen.
He said be proud of what you are
Er sagte, sei stolz auf das, was du bist,
There's something special 'bout people like us
Menschen wie wir haben etwas Besonderes.
People like us
Menschen wie wir
(Who will answer the telephone)
(Wer wird ans Telefon gehen)
People like us
Menschen wie wir
(Growing as big as a house)
(Werden groß wie ein Haus)
People like us
Menschen wie wir
(Gonna make it because)
(Werden es schaffen, weil)
We don't want freedom
Wir wollen keine Freiheit,
We don't want justice
Wir wollen keine Gerechtigkeit,
We just want someone to love
Wir wollen nur jemanden zum Lieben,
Someone to love
Jemanden zum Lieben.
I was called upon in the 3rd grade class
Ich wurde in der dritten Klasse aufgerufen,
I gave my answer and it caused a fuss
Ich gab meine Antwort und es verursachte Aufruhr,
I'm not the same as ev'ryone else
Ich bin nicht wie alle anderen,
And times were hard for people like us
Und die Zeiten waren hart für Menschen wie uns.
People like us
Menschen wie wir
(Who will answer the telephone)
(Wer wird ans Telefon gehen)
People like us
Menschen wie wir
(Growing as big as a house)
(Werden groß wie ein Haus)
People like us
Menschen wie wir
(Gonna make it because)
(Werden es schaffen, weil)
We don't want freedom
Wir wollen keine Freiheit,
We don't want justice
Wir wollen keine Gerechtigkeit,
We just want someone to love
Wir wollen nur jemanden zum Lieben,
Someone to love
Jemanden zum Lieben.
What good is freedom?
Was nützt Freiheit?
God laughs at people like us
Gott lacht über Menschen wie uns.
I see it coming
Ich sehe es kommen,
Like a light coming down from above
Wie ein Licht, das von oben herabkommt.
The clouds roll by and the moon comes up
Die Wolken ziehen vorbei und der Mond geht auf,
How long must we live in the heat of the sun
Wie lange müssen wir in der Hitze der Sonne leben?
Millions of people are waitin' on love
Millionen von Menschen warten auf Liebe,
And this is a song about people like us
Und dies ist ein Lied über Menschen wie wir.
People like us
Menschen wie wir
(Who will answer the telephone)
(Wer wird ans Telefon gehen)
People like us
Menschen wie wir
(Growing big as a house)
(Werden groß wie ein Haus)
People like us
Menschen wie wir
(Gonna make it because)
(Werden es schaffen, weil)
We don't want freedom
Wir wollen keine Freiheit,
We don't want justice
Wir wollen keine Gerechtigkeit,
We just want someone to love
Wir wollen nur jemanden zum Lieben,
Someone to love
Jemanden zum Lieben,
Someone to love
Jemanden zum Lieben,
Someone to love
Jemanden zum Lieben.
