Paroles et traduction Adrian Stern - Polaroid

Polaroid

Sie säged ihr zwei seiged magisch gsi
Sie säged ihr heiged alles überstrahlt
Aber d'zit heb viles kompliziert gmacht
Und s'komplizierte
Het eu schliesslich usenand bracht

Ich gsehn eu uf dem alte staubige polaroid
Us de lang vergangne gmeinsame zit
Arm in arm i de silvesternacht
Spiled carambole und de ganz tisch lacht
Eui fründe sitzed da
Mit ihrne hornbrille und lange haar
Ihr zwei schined glücklich z'si
Uf dem alte polaroid
Us de lang vergangne zit
Ich wünscht ich wär debi gsi

I eim vo vilne albe uf em gstell
Wo jedes bild vo eure gschicht verzellt
Det hani's gfunde uf de letschte site
Halb vergilbt und matt niemer het's igchläbt

Ich gsehn eu uf dem alte staubige polaroid...

Hüt bini glich alt wie ihr dazmal
Und dänke vil a eui letscht dezembernacht
Händ ihr zäme tanzet händ ihr zäme gsunge?
Händ ihr enand bim carambole je emal la gwünne?

Ich gsehn eu uf dem alte staubige polaroid...

Polaroid

They said you two were magical
They said you outshone everything
But time made things complicated
And the complicated
Eventually tore you apart

I see you both in the dusty, old polaroid
From the long ago, shared times
Arm in arm on New Year's Eve
Playing carambole, the whole table laughing
Your friends are sitting there
With their glasses and long hair
You two look happy together
On that dusty, old polaroid
From long ago
I wish I could have been there

In one of many albums on the shelf
Each picture tells a story of your history
That's where I found it, on the last page
Half yellowed and faded, no one had touched it

I see you both in the dusty, old polaroid...

Today I am the same age as you were then
And I think a lot about your last December night
Did you dance together, did you sing together?
Did you ever let each other win at carambole?

I see you both in the dusty, old polaroid...
