Paroles et traduction Bläck Fööss - Alles für die Liebe

Alles für die Liebe

M'r jeit bei rut nit övver de Strooss
Un bohrt beim Zahnarzt nit en d'r Nas.
M'r fährt mem Fahrrad nit op derAutobahn.
Un pack om Maat sämpliche Äppel an
M'r sät des morjens nit Joode Naach
Un läuf freihändich övver et Dach.
M'r schmiess em Auto kein Zijarettefott.
Wat m'r all nit deit! Leever Jott!

Doch wat deit mer nit
Alles für die Liebe -
Alles für die Liebe un e besje Jlöck.
Jo, wat deit mer nit
Alles für die Liebe.
Wenn do se jefungen häs,
Dann halt se och joot fess!

M'r läuf däm Nohber nit övver't Jras,
Hält e Kaninche nit für ne Haas.
M'r molt kein Ostereier en d'r Weihnachtszick
Un kritt et Kribbeln em Buch nit noh Hus jescheck.
M'r fährt nur selten schwatz met d'r Bahn
Un hät em Auto keine em Kahn.
Do weeds erwisch un schon es dä Lappe fott.
Wat m'r all nit deit! Leever Jott!

Doch wat deit mer nit
Alles für die Liebe...
Bes de ärm oder häste vill Jeld
Et jitt nix, wat einfach su vum
Himmel fällt.
Wellste jeden Dach e Stöck Sonn
Jo, dann muss de och jät dofür dun.

Everything for Love

You don't run across the street when it's red,
And don't pick your nose at the dentist.
You don't ride your bike on the freeway,
And you don't bite all of your apples at once.
You don't say good morning at night,
And don't run across the roof with your hands free.
You don't throw cigarette butts out the car window,
So many things you don't do! My Lord!

But what don't you do
Everything for love -
Everything for love and a little bit of luck.
Yes, what don't you do
Everything for love.
If you've found the one,
Then hold on tight!

You don't run across your neighbor's lawn,
And don't mistake a rabbit for a hare.
You don't paint Easter eggs at Christmas,
And don't get the creeps in the book and send it home.
You rarely fare black on the train,
And don't have someone in the car who's been drinking.
You'll get caught and lose your license.
So many things you don't do! My Lord!

But what don't you do
Everything for love...
Whether you're poor or have a lot of money,
There's nothing that just
Falls from heaven.
If you want a piece of sunshine every day,
Well, then you have to do something for it.
