Vum donnernde Lääve - BAP traduction en anglais

Vum donnernde Lääve

Dat kann doch nit alles jewääse sinn,
Dat bessje Sonndaach un Kinderschrein,
Dat muß doch noch irjendwo hinjonn,... hinjonn.
Die Övverstunde, dat bessje Kies
Un ohvends, em Fernsehn, dat Paradies.
Dodrinn kann ich doch keine Sinn sinn, keine Sinn sinn.
Dat kann doch nit alles jewääse sinn.
Kann′t sinn, dat do irjendjet nit draan stemmp?
Do muss doch noch Lääve en't Lääve ... en′t Lääve.
Ey, saach mer, wo blieht do - em Ähnz - dä Spaß?
Nur Schaffe un Raffe un Hooste un Hast
Un donoh dä Löffel affjevve ... Wat'e Lääve!?
Dat soll dann alles jewääse sinn,
Dat bessje Fußball un Führersching,
Dat woor dann dat donnernde Lääve ... jewääse.
Ich hätt jähn jet mieh vun dämm Blau jesinn
Un jähn noch paar eckige Runde jedrieht,
Däät jähn, eh'ch dä Löffel affjevve ... eez ens levve

From the Thunderous Life

That can't be all there is to it,
That little bit of Sunday and children's laughter,
There has to be somewhere else to go,... to go.
The overtime, the little bit of money
And in the evening, on TV, paradise.
I can't see any sense in that, no sense in that.
That can't be all there is to it.
Can it be that something is not quite right with it?
There has to be more to life... to life.
Hey, tell me, where's the - really - fun?
Only work and greed and hustle and bustle
And then kick the bucket... What a life?!
That's supposed to be all there is,
That little bit of football and a driver's license,
That would be the thundering life... been.
I would have rather seen more of the blue
And made a few more angular rounds,
I would, before I kick the bucket... at least live
