Pinball Wizard (Original Studio Version)
Pinball-Zauberer (Original Studioversion)
Ever since I was a young boy
Seit ich ein kleiner Junge war
I've played the silver ball
habe ich die Silberkugel gespielt
From Soho down to Brighton
Von Soho bis nach Brighton
I must have played them all
Ich muss sie alle gespielt haben
But I ain't seen nothing like him
Aber so etwas wie ihn habe ich noch nie gesehen
In any amusement hall
In irgendeiner Spielhalle
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Dieser taube, stumme und blinde Junge
Sure plays a mean pinball
spielt verdammt gut Flipper
He stands like a statue
Er steht da wie eine Statue
Becomes part of the machine
Wird Teil der Maschine
Feeling all the bumpers
Fühlt all die Bumper
Always playing clean
Spielt immer sauber
Plays by intuition
Spielt nach Intuition
The digit counters fall
Die Ziffernanzeigen fallen
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Dieser taube, stumme und blinde Junge
Sure plays a mean pinball
spielt verdammt gut Flipper
He's a pinball wizard
Er ist ein Pinball-Zauberer
There has to be a twist
Da muss ein Trick dabei sein
A pinball wizard's
Ein Pinball-Zauberer
Got such a supple wrist
Hat so ein geschmeidiges Handgelenk
How do you think he does it? I don't know
Wie glaubst du, macht er das? Ich weiß es nicht
What makes him so good?
Was macht ihn so gut?
Ain't got no distractions
Hat keine Ablenkungen
Can't hear no buzzers and bells
Kann keine Summer und Glocken hören
Don't see no lights a flashing
Sieht keine blinkenden Lichter
Plays by sense of smell
Spielt nach Geruchssinn
Always gets a replay
Bekommt immer ein Freispiel
Never see him fall
Man sieht ihn nie fallen
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Dieser taube, stumme und blinde Junge
Sure plays a mean pinball
spielt verdammt gut Flipper
I thought I was the bally table king
Ich dachte, ich wäre der König des Bally-Tisches
But I just handed my pinball crown to him
Aber ich habe ihm gerade meine Flipper-Krone überreicht
Even on my favorite table
Selbst an meinem Lieblingstisch
He can beat my best
kann er mein Bestes schlagen
His disciples lead him in
Seine Jünger führen ihn herein
And he just does the rest
Und er erledigt einfach den Rest
He's got crazy flipper fingers
Er hat verrückte Flipperfinger
Never seen him fall
Habe ihn nie fallen sehen
That deaf, dumb and blind kind
Dieser taube, stumme und blinde Typ
Sure plays a mean pinball
spielt verdammt gut Flipper
