Paroles et traduction BAP - Istanbul

Istanbul

Die jroosse wiss em hanwald
Hück esse widder janzb esonders jröön
Dä caddie kennt se janz jenau
Un och ding dritte frau ess jung un schön
Hück litt nix besondres ahn
Bess op dä lästije friseurtermin
Un dann hück ohvend noch die modenschau
Obwohl, do willste ei'ntlich janit hin
Doch wat mäht mer nit all
Wemmer endlich och dozojehührt!
Denn mer will op keine fall
Dat mer dä status widder flöck verliert
Mer muß sing connections hann
Un zosinn, dat do nix verbrennt
Met klüngel hätt dat nix zo dunn
Doch besser ess et, wemmer einer kennt

Ich sinn dich noch em cbgb's-t-shirt
Un der völlig fäädije ledderbozz
Die telecaster un dä twin-reverb
Woor alles, wat du broots
Wenn einer purist woor, dann du
Die stones wooren ding religion
Für einer, dä ne kompromiß maat
Hatts du nix als spott un hohn
Jetz luhrste moondaachs durch die airplay charts
Un mähß dich schlau, wat momentan joot läuf
Wat sich dä weichjekochte konsument
Neuerdings su käuf
Dann programmierste dä computer
Un dä krempel weed analysiert
Un uss dä quersumm vun dämm janze driss
Dä nächste hit-klon konstruiert
Bess du jetz do, wo du hinwollts
Dä dä du sinn wollts?
Mäht dich dinge ausverkauf
Womöglich sujar stolz?
Wämm häss du ding seel verkauf
Un wat joov et dofür?
Belüsch doch wä du wills
Verzäll et bloß nit mir

Janz selden kütt et vüür
Dat du des naahx huh en der himmel luhrs
Un do dieselve stääne siehs
Wie domohls övver İstanbul
Als mer noh vier daach endlich ahnkohme
Su stolz wie dausend mann
Denn do ahm andre ufer
Fing tatsächlich asien ahn
Ich weiß nit, ob mir zwei uns jemohls
Irjendjet jeschwooren hann
Vermutlich nit, do daachte mir
Vüür lauter sehnsucht janit draan
Ich wünsch mir, dat wenn eines naahx
En stäänschnupp rungerfällt
Dir dann dat enfällt, wat du wirklich wünschs
Un du't dann eisern für dich selvs behällts
Denn du bess nit dä, dä du sinn wollts
Am bosporus in İstanbul
Un dinge ausverkauf dä mäht dich alles
Bloß nit wirklich fruh
Woröm häss du ding seel verkauf
Un wat joov et dofür?
Belüsch doch wä du wills
Verzäll et bloß nit mir

Istanbul

The tall meadow in the forest
Even today it is extraordinarily verdant
The caddy knows it in detail
And your third wife is young and beautiful
Today, nothing else matters
Besides the last hairdresser's appointment
And the fashion show this evening
Although you don't really want to go
But what doesn't one do
When one finally belongs here!
Because we don't want to
Lose our status again quickly
We have to have our connections
And see that nothing burns down here
It has nothing to do with cronyism
But it's better if one knows someone

I still see you in the CBGB t-shirt
And the completely worn-out leather pants
The Telecaster and the Twin Reverb
Were all you needed
If anyone was a purist, it was you
The Stones were your religion
For someone who never compromises
You had nothing but contempt
Now, on Mondays you browse through the airplay charts
And cleverly investigate what's currently popular
What does the brainwashed consumer
Actually buy recently
Then you program the computer
And the garbage is analyzed
And from the total of that entire mess
The next hit clone is constructed
Until now you're where you wanted to be
Who you wanted to be?
Does selling out make you
Perhaps even proud?
Who did you sell your soul to
And what did you get for it?
Lie to whomever you want
But don't tell me

Rarely does it happen
That you look up into the sky after this
And you see the same stars
As back then over Istanbul
When after four days we finally arrived
As proud as a thousand men
Because over on the other bank
Asia actually began
I don't know if we ever
Swore anything to each other
Probably not, because in all the yearning
We didn't think about it
I wish that if one day
A shooting star falls
Then you remember what you really wish for
And you then firmly keep it to yourself
Because you are not who you wanted to be
On the Bosporus in Istanbul
And your sellout makes you anything
But truly happy
Who did you sell your soul to
And what did you get for it?
Lie to whomever you want
But don't tell me
