Paroles et traduction BAP - Vill passiert sickher

Vill passiert sickher

1)
En Flamme stund ich, leechterloh,
Jed Fall hätt zojeschnapp.
Wo ich jing, hätt dä Teer jeschmoort,
Jed Idee woor n Landkaat.
"Mir stonn ahm Abjrund, paßt bloß op!"
Mann, kohm ich mir joot vüür.
Dat woor, als ich noch vill älder woor,
... ess vill passiert sickher.
2)
Met jedem blöde Vorurteil
Hann ich Jeck mich befass.
Ich hann jedaach en schwazz un weiß,
All Zweschetön jehass.
Romantisch woor ich, gnadenlos,
Su wie ne Musketier.
Dat woor, als ich noch vill älder woor,
... ess vill passiert sickher.
3)
Ungerwääß su manch Jeseech,
Dat dir en Schleimspur läht.
Johreszahle, Politik,
Die immer bloß zo spät.
Un Prädijer op Schritt un Tritt,
Die sch nie wirklich kapiert.
Dat woor, als ich noch vill älder woor,
... ess vill passiert sickher.
4)
A self-ordained professor s tongue,
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school.
"Equality," I spoke the word,
As if a wedding vow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
T m younger than that now.
5)
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats,
Too noble to neglect,
Deceived me into thinking,
I had something to protect.
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I m younger than that now.

A Lot Has Happened

1)
I stood aflame, all ablaze,
I could have snapped at any moment.
Everywhere I went the tar would smolder,
Every idea was a map of a land.
"We're standing on the precipice, just be careful!"
Man, I felt so good about myself.
That was when I was much older,
... a lot has happened since then.
2)
With every stupid prejudice,
I got myself into a fit.
I only saw black and white,
Hated all the shades of gray.
I was romantic, merciless,
Like a musketeer.
That was when I was much older,
... a lot has happened since then.
3)
Underneath so many faces,
You'd find a slimy trail.
Dates, politics,
Always too late.
And preachers at every turn,
Who never really understood.
That was when I was much older,
... a lot has happened since then.
