Gil Scott-Heron

Pieces of a Man - Gil Scott-Herontraduction en allemand




Pieces of a Man
Stücke eines Mannes
Jagged jigsaw pieces
Gezackte Puzzleteile
Tossed about the room
Im Raum verstreut
I saw my grandma sweeping
Ich sah meine Oma fegen
With her old straw broom
Mit ihrem alten Strohbesen
She didn't know what she was doing
Sie wusste nicht, was sie tat
She could hardly understand
Sie konnte kaum verstehen
That she was really sweeping up
Dass sie in Wirklichkeit
Pieces of a man
Stücke eines Mannes zusammenfegte
I saw my daddy greet the mailman
Ich sah meinen Vati den Postboten grüßen
And I heard the mailman say:
Und ich hörte den Postboten sagen:
"Now don't you take this letter to heart now Jimmy
"Nimm dir diesen Brief jetzt nicht zu Herzen, Jimmy
'Cause they've laid off nine others today"
"Denn sie haben heute neun andere entlassen"
He didn't know what he was saying
Er wusste nicht, was er sagte
He could hardly understand
Er konnte kaum verstehen
That he was only talking to
Dass er nur zu
Pieces of a man
Stücken eines Mannes sprach
I saw the thunder and heard the lightning
Ich sah den Donner und hörte den Blitz
And felt the burden of his shame
Und fühlte die Last seiner Scham
And for some unknown reason
Und aus irgendeinem unbekannten Grund
He never turned my way
Wandte er sich nie mir zu
Pieces of that letter
Stücke jenes Briefes
Were tossed about that room
Waren in jenem Raum verstreut
And now I hear the sound of sirens
Und jetzt höre ich das Geräusch von Sirenen
Come knifing through the gloom
Wie es durch die Dunkelheit schneidet
They don't know what they are doing
Sie wissen nicht, was sie tun
They could hardly understand
Sie konnten kaum verstehen
That they're only arresting
Dass sie nur
Pieces of a man
Stücke eines Mannes festnehmen
I saw him go to pieces
Ich sah ihn in Stücke zerfallen
I saw him go to pieces
Ich sah ihn in Stücke zerfallen
He was always such a good man
Er war immer so ein guter Mann
He was always such a strong man
Er war immer so ein starker Mann
Yeah, I saw him go to pieces
Ja, ich sah ihn in Stücke zerfallen
I saw him go to pieces
Ich sah ihn in Stücke zerfallen
