Paroles et traduction Gimma - Üseri Kinder

Üseri Kinder

Irgendwo isch krieg
Irgendwo da dussa
I han en nie mit mine auge gseh
Abr de hunger
Han die flugzüüg gseh stürze und welle breche
Und tuusig träum sterbe hinder kinderträne
Und es ish immer witer weg
Bilder per satleit
Mer wills jah ned glaube
Bis es ainem mol selber trifft
Und plötzli kennsch eine odr eine vo eini kennt und ihres sis kind ish tod verletzt oder weg
All mis lide isch mr egal
Es gid nüt shclimmers als "n" tag im kinderspital
Alles was mi hüt stresst isch kei geld oder dräck
Aber das meitli vo mi aluegt ish zehni und hed krebs
Irgendwas lauft da letz
Es ish nümm bi mr
Krankheite fresse kinder
Werded schlimmer
Die welt frisst üs langsam uf vo inne
Und alles was i mache khan
Ish alli dra erinnere

Lueg i nimm di ander hand und füehr di dur babylon
Vilicht gsemmer jah s paradies hüt obig scho
Aber es wird n lange weg si id sunna
Mer werdeds vrsueche
üseri ziit ish nonig ume
üseri ziit ish nonig ume

I han angst a dene kinder d wohrheit z verzelle
Übers lebe
I khan die blick eifach nümme erträge
I han 13 jöhrige müesse i zelle i sperre
Und medis ineshope als würdis irgendwas helfe
Ihr händ hass uf de stimm vo schienbar funktioniert
Vil jedes 10tens kind sich in dere welt verirrt
I main mini eiget jugend isch scho de reini wahn gsi
Aber i mach ei reis uf afrika und raffs aifach ned
Lueg i bin kai politiker
Kei plan vo wirtschaft
Aber irgendwas lauft brutal falsch
Luegad dia kriag ah
Wie vil koschtets um ais dorf zu bombadiere?
Und wia vil koschtes ums gliche dorf z saniere?
Wie vil verzwiflig bruchts um sich z sprenge?
Das ish psycho mer sött sie alli zemme vor de spiegel stelle
Und i gseh nur immr wedr die auge vo de kinder
Und alles wasi mache khan ish eu alli dra erinnere

Luag i nimm di ander hand und füehr di dur babylon
Vilicht gsemmer jah s paradies hüt obig sho
Aber es wird n lange weg si id sunne
Mer werdeds vrsueche
üseri ziit ish nonig ume
üseri ziit ish nonig ume
üseri ziit ish nonig ume

Our Children

Somewhere there is war
Somewhere out there
I have never seen it with my own eyes
But the hunger
I have seen the planes crash and waves break
And a thousand dreams die behind children's tears
And it is always further away
Satellite images
We refuse to believe it
Until it hits you
And suddenly you know someone or someone knows someone and their child is dead injured or gone
All my suffering doesn't matter to me
There's nothing worse than a day in a children's hospital
Everything that stresses me today is not money or dirt
But the girl I am looking at is ten and has cancer
Something is going wrong here
It's gone from me
Diseases devour children
They are getting worse
The world is slowly eating us up from the inside
And all I can do
Is to remind everyone

Come take my other hand and lead me through Babylon
Maybe we will see paradise tonight
But it will be a long way into the sun
We will try.
Our time is not yet up.
Our time is not yet up.

I am afraid to tell the children the truth.
About life
I can't stand the look in their eyes anymore
I had to put 13-year-olds in cells and lock them up
And medicated them in the hope that it would help
You have hated the sound of voices that seem to be working
Too many children in this world get lost
I mean my own youth was pure madness
But I go on a trip to Africa and just don't understand.
Look, I'm not a politician
No economic plan
But something is going terribly wrong
Look at these wars
How much does it cost to bomb one village?
And how much does it cost to rebuild the same village?
How much despair does it take to blow yourself up?
This is sick, they should all be put in front of a mirror.
And I can only see the eyes of the children again
And all I can do is remind you all of this.

Come take my other hand and lead me through Babylon
Maybe we'll see paradise tonight
But it will be a long way into the sun
We will try.
Our time is not yet up.
Our time is not yet up.
Our time is not yet up.
