Paroles et traduction Bap - Domohls

Domohls

Obwohl et nur en knappe Stund vun Kölle,
Kohm et ihm domohls noch wie en Weltreis vüür,
Wenn er Punkt sechs Sonndaachohvends,
Met der Strooßebahn, eez nohm Südbahnhoff fuhr,
Met singer Täsch voll Klamotte für die nähxte veezehn Daach
Un dä Träne, die ze waade hatte, bess se nahx russdurfte.
Do wohr en Hääd kleine Männer
En dämm wieße Huus, dat he ahm Waldrand steht.
Et klaff noch manch offene Wund
En der Seel vun manchem Jung, die och die Zick nit heilt.
Die wooren hatt jedenfalls wat die Fassad betroof,
Denn jed Jefühl wat dodurch kohm, woot brutal bestroof, domohls.
Ahnjepass ze funktioniere liert mer em Wirtschaftswunderland.
Disziplin un Elleboore für en Streberwelt.
Un manche Kronprinz, dä zwei Minsche noch zum Glöck jefählt,
Woot he verboore un zum Leistungsmonster omjequält, domohls.
He ess noch vill wie et woor
Un och noh all dänne Johre, deit deef drinn noch jet wieh.
Er sieht die Kirch un die Schull,
Er denk en Dur un en Moll, doch spürt kein Nostalgie.
Er denk ahn Blootsbrüder, Pfadfinder, ahn sing eezte Band,
Er denk ahn Psychoterror un ahn sing eijene Pänz.
Ahnjepass ze funktioniere liert mer em Wirtschaftswunderland.
Disziplin un Elleboore für en Streberwelt.
Un manche Kronprinz, dä zwei Minsche noch zum Glöck jefählt,
Woot he verboore un zum Leistungsmonster omjequält, domohls.
Kirmesliebschafte, Aachterbahn,
Feuchte Dräum, Schloofsaalnäächte voll Angs,
All Erwartunge zo enttäusche,
Denn er " sollt et ens besser hann! ", domohls.

Back in those days

Although it was only a short time from Cologne,
It seemed like a trip around the world to him back then,
When he punctually at six on Sunday evenings,
Took the tram to the Südbahnhoff,
With his bag full of clothes for the next fourteen days
And the tears he kept back until he was able to let them flow.
There was a group of small men
In the white house on the edge of the forest.
Many open wounds still gaped
In the souls of many a lad that not even time could heal.
They had certainly succeeded in keeping face,
For every feeling that came through was brutally punished, back then.
To adapt and function is what you learned in the economic miracle.
Discipline and elbows out for an ambitious world.
And many a crown prince to whom two people were fortunately spared,
Was locked away here and cruelly transformed into a high-performance monster, back then.
It's still very much as it was
And even after all these years, something still hurts deep inside.
He sees the church and the school,
He thinks in C major and A minor, but feels no nostalgia.
He thinks of blood brothers, scouts, of his first band,
He thinks of psychological terror and of his own children.
To adapt and function is what you learned in the economic miracle.
Discipline and elbows out for an ambitious world.
And many a crown prince to whom two people were fortunately spared,
Was locked away here and cruelly transformed into a high-performance monster, back then.
Funfair romances, roller coaster,
Wet dreams, dormitory nights full of fear,
To disappoint all expectations,
Because he "should have it better once!", back then.
