Paroles et traduction Bläck Fööss - Ich wör su jähn ens Weihbischof

Ich wör su jähn ens Weihbischof

Ich wör 'su jään ens Weihbischof
Dat wör en prima Saach
Ich wör 'su jään ens Weihbischof
Dovun dräum ich ald su manche Naach

Em Dom jet römlaufe
Un schwatze Anzöch kaufe
En d'r Bibel studiere
Ungerm Baldachin spaziere

Prächtije Jewänder drage
Em Benz jet römfahre
Jet Schau für die Menge
Vun d'r Kanzel jet schänge

Ich wör 'su jään ens Weihbischof
Dat wör en prima Saach
Ich wör 'su jään ens Weihbischof
Dovun dräum ich ald su manche Naach

Bei de Sünder jet setze
Mem Weihwasser spritze
Verjebung verschenke
Mem Weihrauchfässje schwenke

Jet schlofe em Jade
Mem Herrjott jet schwade
De hillije Jeist verdeile
An jede ärme Seele

Jo, ich wör, (ich wör), 'su jään, ('su jään) ens Weihbischof
Dat wör en prima Saach
Ich wör, (ich wör), 'su jään, ('su jään) ens Weihbischof
Dovun dräum ich ald su manche Naach

Immer bei de Jäste
Bei Einweihungsfeste
Jot esse un jot drinke
Jet säne und jet winke

Bedde für die Kranke un Lahme
Mem Kardinal ovends en Rund Dame
Af un zo nom Papst ens luure
Un en jet beduure

Ich wör, (ich wör), 'su jään, ('su jään) ens Weihbischof
Dat wör en prima Saach
Ich wör, (ich wör), 'su jään, ('su jään) ens Weihbischof
Dovun dräum ich ald su manche Naach
Dovun dräum ich ald su manche Naach

Wenn nur eins nit wör
Dat es et Zölibat

I wish I were a suffragan bishop

I wish I were a suffragan bishop
That would be a wonderful thing
I wish I were a suffragan bishop
I've been dreaming about it for so many nights

To walk around the cathedral
And buy black suits
To study the Bible
To walk under the canopy

To wear splendid clothes
To drive around in a Mercedes
To show off for the crowd
To preach from the pulpit

I wish I were a suffragan bishop
That would be a wonderful thing
I wish I were a suffragan bishop
I've been dreaming about it for so many nights

To sit with the sinners
To sprinkle them with holy water
To give them absolution
To swing the censer

To sleep in a plush bed
To talk to the Lord
To distribute the Holy Spirit
To every poor soul

Yes, I wish, (I wish), I were, (I were) a suffragan bishop
That would be a wonderful thing
I wish, (I wish), I were, (I were) a suffragan bishop
I've been dreaming about it for so many nights

Always with the guests
At inauguration parties
Eating and drinking well
Singing and waving

Praying for the sick and the lame
Playing cards with the cardinal in the evening
Looking up to the pope every now and then
And regretting something

I wish, (I wish), I were, (I were) a suffragan bishop
That would be a wonderful thing
I wish, (I wish), I were, (I were) a suffragan bishop
I've been dreaming about it for so many nights
I've been dreaming about it for so many nights

If only one thing weren't there
That is celibacy
