The Carter Family - Engine One-Forty-Three (Remastered) - translation of the lyrics into German




Engine One-Forty-Three (Remastered)
Lokomotive Einhundertdreiundvierzig (Remastered)
Along came the FFV, the swiftest on the line
Da kam die FFV, die schnellste auf der Strecke
Running o'er the C & O road just 20 minutes behind
Fuhr über die C & O-Strecke, nur 20 Minuten hintendran
Running into Seville headquarters on the line
Fuhr ein in die Zentrale von Seville an der Strecke
Receiving their strict orders from a station just behind
Erhielt ihre strengen Befehle von einer Station kurz dahinter
Georgie's mother came to him with a bucket on her arm
Georgies Mutter kam zu ihm, einen Eimer am Arm
Saying, my darling son, be careful how you run
Sagte: „Mein lieber Sohn, sei vorsichtig, wie du fährst.“
For many a man has lost his life in trying to make lost time
Denn mancher Mann hat sein Leben verloren beim Versuch, verlorene Zeit aufzuholen
And if you run your engine right you'll get there just on time
Und wenn du deine Lokomotive richtig fährst, kommst du pünktlich an
Up the road she darted, against the rocks she crashed
Die Strecke hinauf raste sie, gegen die Felsen prallte sie
Upside-down the engine turned, and Georgie's breast it smashed
Kopfüber überschlug sich die Lokomotive, und Georgies Brust wurde zerschmettert
His head was against the firebox door, the flames were rolling high
Sein Kopf war gegen die Feuerbüchsentür, die Flammen schlugen hoch
I'm glad I was born for an engineer to die on the C & O road
„Ich bin froh, dass ich als Lokführer geboren wurde, um auf der C & O-Strecke zu sterben.“
The doctor said to Georgie, my darling boy, be still
Der Arzt sagte zu Georgie: „Mein lieber Junge, sei still.“
Your life may yet be saved if it is God's blessed will
Dein Leben kann vielleicht noch gerettet werden, wenn es Gottes gesegneter Wille ist
Oh, no, said Georgie, that will not do, I want to die so free
„Oh nein“, sagte Georgie, „das geht nicht, ich will so frei sterben.“
I want to die for the engine I love, one hundred and forty-three
„Ich will für die Lokomotive sterben, die ich liebe, Einhundertdreiundvierzig.“
The doctor said to Georgie, your life cannot be saved
Der Arzt sagte zu Georgie: „Dein Leben kann nicht gerettet werden.“
Murdered upon a railroad and laid in a lonesome grave
Umgekommen auf einer Eisenbahn und in ein einsames Grab gelegt
His face was covered up with blood, his eyes you could not see
Sein Gesicht war blutüberströmt, seine Augen konnte man nicht sehen
And the very last words poor Georgie said was nearer, my God, to Thee
Und die allerletzten Worte, die der arme Georgie sprach, waren: „Näher, mein Gott, zu Dir.“
