Paroles et traduction Bläck Fööss - Nemmt mich met

Nemmt mich met

'Ne Haufe bunter Wage
Fuhr jestern durch unser Stroß
Op d'r Maat un mat du halt,
Medden vör d'r Poß.
Ich jing direk ens lore,
Wat et do nit alles jov,
Elefante, Eselche und dressierte Schof.
E Zelt wood opjeschlage,
Dat jing em Rubbedidup,
E paar Mark fählten für en Kaat,
D'r Opa lat se drop.
Un als d'r Chef vum Janze
Sich zeich em schwatze Frack,
Jo do hatt mich die Zirkusluff
Irjendwie jepack.
REFRAIN
Un ich sat nemmt mich met,
Nur e janz klei Stöck,
Ich kann Seilchenspringe, Jummitwis,
Flic Flac un Spajat.
Nemmt mich met op die Reis,
Denn ich wör et leevs.
Statt iwich en de Schull ze jon
'Ne Zirkusakrobat.
Kaum dat de Schull am Eng wor
Hinge mir an d'r Manech,
Braten Foder für die Päd,
Für d'r Bär e Stöckche Fleisch,
Die Clowns un die Jongleure
Zeichten uns ihr beste Tricks,
Doch kapeet hät keiner jet,
Dat jing uns vill ze flöck.
REFRAIN
Ich hatt am nächste Morje
Ming Spardos enjepack
Schlech mich heimlich us dem Huus,
D'r Koffer huckepack,
Doch wor ich vill ze spät dran,
Keine Zirkus wick un breit,
E paar Trönche kome mir,
Ich dät me selver leid.

Take Me With You

A lot of colorful wagons
Were passing through our street yesterday
Stop and go at a moderate pace,
Stopped in front of the archway.
I walked straight outside,
To see what all the fuss was about,
Elephants, donkeys, and trained sheep.
A tent was being erected,
It was going up in a jiffy,
A few marks were missing for a ticket,
My grandfather paid for it.
And when the boss of the whole thing
Showed up in a black suit,
That's when the circus atmosphere
Somehow got ahold of me.
REFRAIN
And I said take me with you,
Just a little while,
I can jump rope, do somersaults,
Flic Flac, and splits.
Take me with you on the tour,
Because I'd love it.
Instead of constantly going to school
A circus acrobat.
As soon as school was over
We hung around the ring,
Roasting food for the lions,
A piece of meat for the bear,
The clowns and the jugglers
Showed us their best tricks,
But we didn't understand any of it,
It was all too fast.
REFRAIN
The next morning I had
Packed my piggy bank,
Sneaked out of the house,
Suitcase on my back,
But I was way too late,
No circus in sight,
A few tears came to me,
I felt sorry for myself.
REFRAIN
