Paroles et traduction BAP - Niemohls

Niemohls

Manchmohl, wenn et Ohvend weed
Un mer ess met sich allein,
Frööch mer sich schon ens, wat mer all bereut –
Insjeheim.
Ob mer deef drinne nit doch unzofredde ess,
Un dann hoff mer op en ennere Stemm, die säät:

"Niemohls, niemohls, dat feel dir niemohls en.
Niemohls, niemohls, dat feel dir niemohls en."

Mer denk ahn manches, wat ald Johre her,
Doch eij'ntlich nie jeklärt.
Situatione, wa' 'ss nit all passiert,
Wat wohr tatsächlich okay?
Ob mer sich hück für't Jääjendeil entscheide däät,
Un dann hoff mer op en ennere Stemm, die säät:

"Niemohls, niemohls, dat feel dir niemohls en.
Niemohls, niemohls, dat feel dir niemohls en."

Un dann natürlich, ob dä Kurs noch stemmp,
Noh all däm Jääjewind,
Ob mer nit langsam och ens met dä Strömung schwemmp,
Bequem, ejal wohin.
Aff wann mer besser Kompromisse määt,
Un dann hoff mer op en ennere Stemm, die säät:

"Niemohls, niemohls, dat löößte besser sinn.
Niemohls, niemohls, dat löößte besser sinn."

"Nä, maach dat bloß nit!", säät die Stemm,
"Op keine Fall, hey, loss dat sinn!
Öm Joddes Wille, pass dich bloß nit ahn,
Dat liehrste suwiesu nit mieh, Mann!"

Die säät: "Niemohls, niemohls, dat löößte besser sinn.
Niemohls, niemohls, dat feel dir niemohls en.
Niemohls, niemohls, dat feel dir niemohls en."

Never

Sometimes, when the evening comes
And we are alone together,
We ask ourselves what we might regret –
Secretly.
If we are not dissatisfied with it deep inside,
And then we hope for an inner voice that says:

"Never, never, you will never miss it.
Never, never, you will never miss it."

We think of many things that happened years ago,
But never really clarified.
Situations, what's not all happened,
What was actually okay?
Whether we would decide for the opposite today,
And then we hope for an inner voice that says:

"Never, never, you will never miss it.
Never, never, you will never miss it."

And then of course, if the course still fits,
After all the headwinds,
If we don't slowly swim with the current,
Convenient, no matter where.
When we better make compromises,
And then we hope for an inner voice that says:

"Never, never, you'd better give in.
Never, never, you'd better give in."

"No, don't do it!", says the voice,
"Under no circumstances, hey, let it be!
For God's sake, don't adapt,
You won't learn that anyway, man!"

She says: "Never, never, you'd better give in.
Never, never, you will never miss it.
Never, never, you will never miss it."
