Paroles et traduction BAP - Amerika

Amerika

1)
Su sinn se also uss, die kääls,
Luhr ens, ene nejer hann se och dobei!
Luhr ens op dämm panzer dä,
Wenn et huh kütt, ess dä achzehn, dä hätt uns befreit!
Vüür dänne hann se uns jewarnt,
Wiesu hammer bloß ahn all dä driss jejläuv?
Die junge hann jet durchjemaat,
Vum kanal bess her ess wigg, wemmer durch mine läuf.
Wo die herkumme ess jetz naach,
Die schloofe jetz noch öm die zick, jenseits vum ozean.
Die hann hühser, hüher als dä dom,
Do läuf dä janzen daach nur jazz em radio.

Refr.:
Et heiß, do wöhr jeder glisch,
Ejal, ob ärm oder risch - amerika
Un do kräät jeder sing chance,
E paradies vun nem land - amerika

2)
Nä, amis he en unserer strooß
Jetz saach nit, du hätts et vun ahnfang ahn jewoss.
He, mister, hässte schokolaad?
Die kinder hann ihr angs als eezte affjelaat un se ahnjeschwaad.
Wat jööv ich für en lucky strike!
Ich rauche nur noch strüh, sick ner ewigkeit.
Wohl dämm, dä su ne kreech jewennt,
Denn dä kann fraue hann für paar nylonströmp.
Wo die herkumme hann se et joot,
Do woor kein einzije stadt je vun ner bomb bedroht.
Do drövve stonn all hühser noch,
Do weed jeder satt, weed jede meddaach wärm jekoch.

Refr.:
Et heiß, do wöhr jeder glisch,

Ejal, ob ärm oder risch - amerika
Un do kräät jeder sing chance,
E paradies vun nem land - amerika.

America

1)
They are out there, the Cold War,
They even have a new one!
Look at their tanks,
When it's time, it's the eighteen-year-old, the one who freed us!
We were warned about him,
Why did we just believe all that crap?
The young have been through something,
From the canal to here it's a while, if we walk through the minefields.
Where they come from is still today,
They are still sleeping at this time, beyond the ocean.
They have houses, taller than the cathedral,
There's only jazz on the radio all day long.

Chorus:
It's said, everyone is equal there,
No matter if poor or rich - America
And everyone gets their chance,
A paradise of a country - America

2)
Now the Americans are in our street
Don't say, you knew it from the beginning.
Hey, mister, you have chocolate?
The kids were the first to overcome their fear and rushed up to them.
What do I give you for a Lucky Strike!
I only smoke butts, have done so for an eternity.
Lucky who is used to such a ration,
Because he can have women for a few nylon stockings.
Where they come from, they have it good,
There wasn't a single city ever threatened by a bomb.
All the houses are still standing over there,
Everyone is full there, everyone is fed every noon.

Chorus:
It's said, everyone is equal there,

No matter if poor or rich - America
And everyone gets their chance,
A paradise of a country - America.
