Hey Nonny Nonny - Violent Femmes translation in German

Hey Nonny Nonny

Beauty sat bathing by a spring where fairest shades did hide her
The winds blew calm the birds did sing the cool streams ran beside her
My wanton thoughts enticed mine eye to see what was forbidden
But better memory said "fie" so vain desire was chidden

Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonny
Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonnie
Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonny
Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonnie

Into a slumber then I fell when fond imagination
Seemed to see but could not tell her feature or her fashion
But even as babes in dreams do smile and sometimes fall a weeping
So I awaked as wise this while as when I fell a-sleeping

Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonny
Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonnie
Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonny
Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonnie

Say man are you down for doing something positive in the community?
No not really
Well ain't you worried about doing the right thing?
Well I don't care

Beauty sat bathing by a spring where fairest shades did hide her
The winds blew calm the birds did sing the cool streams ran beside her
My wanton thoughts enticed mine eye to see what was forbidden
But better memory said "fie" so vain desire was chidden

Hey Nonny Nonny

Die Schönheit badete an einer Quelle, wo die schönsten Schatten sie verbargen
Die Winde wehten sanft, die Vögel sangen, die kühlen Bäche flossen neben ihr
Meine lüsternen Gedanken verleiteten mein Auge, zu sehen, was verboten war
Aber die bessere Erinnerung sagte "Pfui", so wurde eitles Verlangen getadelt

Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonny
Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonnie
Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonny
Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonnie

In einen Schlummer fiel ich dann, als die blühende Fantasie
Zu sehen schien, aber nicht sagen konnte, ihre Züge oder ihre Gestalt
Aber selbst wie Babys im Traum lächeln und manchmal weinen
So erwachte ich genauso weise, wie als ich einschlief

Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonny
Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonnie
Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonny
Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonnie

Sag mal, bist du bereit, etwas Positives in der Gemeinschaft zu tun?
Nein, nicht wirklich
Nun, machst du dir keine Sorgen, das Richtige zu tun?
Nun, das ist mir egal

Die Schönheit badete an einer Quelle, wo die schönsten Schatten sie verbargen
Die Winde wehten sanft, die Vögel sangen, die kühlen Bäche flossen neben ihr
Meine lüsternen Gedanken verleiteten mein Auge, zu sehen, was verboten war
Aber die bessere Erinnerung sagte "Pfui", so wurde eitles Verlangen getadelt

Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonny
Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonnie
Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonny
Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonnie
Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonny
Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonnie
Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonny
Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonnie
