Paar Daach fröher - BAP , Meret Becker traduction en anglais

Paar Daach fröher

Die Schwalve sinn widder op heim ahn ahm fleeje;
Ich stonn am Balkon un luhr inne noh.
Stell mir Marokko vüür
Wie jedesmohl

Wie jed Johr un dräum ich wöhr do.

Die Daach weede kööter un länger die Näächte.
Noch joot ene Mohnd
Bess et naahx widder friert.
Op eimohl weed mir kloor
'N dat woor noch nie do:
Will nit met dissmohl
Dat litt wohl ahn dir.

Do
Wo du bess
Ess dä Nabel der Welt

Weiß jetz
Wat mir all die Johre jefählt.
Dieh Häzz ess 'ne Nümaat
Ding Kralle sinn spetz

Un wenn ich falle
Dann bess du mieh Netz.
Dich halt ich fess
Dich loss ich nit mieh loss.
Do
Wo du bess
Benn ich endlich zohuss.
Hätt ich dat bloß paar Daach fröher jewoss!

Zochvüjel losse sich nit irritiere.
Die spüre
Wo't langjeht
Dat hann die em Bloot.
Richtung Nordafrika wöhr wunderbar

Leis hann ich dä Lockroof jehoot

Dä Lockroof jehoot.

Do
Wo du bess
Ess dä Nabel der Welt

Weiß jetz
Wat mir all die Johre jefählt.
Dieh Häzz ess 'ne Nümaat
Ding Kralle sinn spetz

Un wenn ich falle
Dann bess du mieh Netz.
Dich halt ich fess
Dich loss ich nit mieh loss.
Do
Wo du bess
Benn ich endlich zohuss.
Hätt ich dat bloß paar Daach fröher jewoss!

A Few Days Ago

The swallows are back home flying by,
I stand on the balcony and gaze into it.
Picture Morocco
Like each time

Like every year I dream I were there.

The days are getting shorter, the nights longer.
Only a few weeks
Until it’s freezing cold again.
Suddenly it becomes clear
That it’s never been before:
I don’t want to this time
It must be because of you.

You
Where you are
Is the center of the world

Now I know
What I’ve missed all these years.
Your heart is a magnet,
Your claws are sharp,

And if I should fall,
You are my net.
I hold you tight
I won’t let you go anymore.
You
Where you are
I'm finally home.
If only I had known a few days before!

Migratory birds are not irritated.
They feel
Where it's going
They have it in their blood.
Direction North Africa would be wonderful

I secretly heard the call

Heard the call.

You
Where you are
Is the center of the world

Now I know
What I’ve missed all these years.
Your heart is a magnet,
Your claws are sharp,

And if I should fall,
You are my net.
I hold you tight
I won’t let you go anymore.
You
Where you are
I'm finally home.
If only I had known a few days before!
