Paroles et traduction Greis feat. Helenka Danis - Lyubow Orlowa

Lyubow Orlowa

Drittletschte Logbuech-Itrag
Ds Radio isch iz stiu sit vier Tag
Aus wäre mir no die Einzige uf däm Ozean
U de empfahni plötzlich wider ds gliche Notsignau
Usem Funk chunnt Musig, ä Sonate
Ä Frouestimm, SOS i Form vo Operegsang
I funke zrügg frage nach Koordinate
Doch offebar chunnt nach wie vor mini Antwort nid ah.
I läbe scho so lang uf däm Frachtschiff
Lose ihrem Gsang zue bis' Nacht wird u frag mi
Wie si äch usgseht u was si i däm Stück verzeut
Über Funk bieti ihre es Stück ah vo mim Büchsefleisch
I gah uf Deck, schicke ihre ä Applous
Imaginäre Struss vomne Truurige Matros
Irgendwenn wirds wider Stiu uf däm Boot
Und es blibt nur ihri Stimm i mim Chopf und si singt

(Gesang Helenka Danis)

Vorletschte Logbuech-Itrag
Ke land in sicht und sit vier tag kes Signau
Motor versuft und Büchse göh langsam us
Uf aune Biudschirme ä graue Ameisihuufe
U plötzlich chunnt wider die Opere über Funk
D Frequänz dütet ufene dringende Notruef
Ufem Sonar erschiint ä sich nöcherende Punkt
Es mues vom Schiff cho mit dr Singende Frou druf
Motor isch tot i renne zum Maschineruum
Schiff driftet stiu uf d iischouene zue
Woni wider ufechume wirdi bländet vo Liechter
Ghöres Fescht uf dr änere site steit ihres Schiff und sie singt

(Gesang Helenka Danis)

Letschte Logbuech-Itrag
Ds andere Schiff isch vou farbiger Girlande
I stige druf fouge de Liechter und em Gsang
I bi grettet loufe dr Musig nache em Bug entlang
I gseh no ke mönsch aber i ghöres
Ufem Schiff isch es Konzärt ihri Stimm chunnt immer nöcher
Wenis nid säuber würd gseh würdis nid gloube
Doch I stah iz grad uf dr verlorene Lyubow Orlowa
I hase gfunge si heise wöue verschrotte
Ds Seil vom Schlepper isch grisse und si isch elei verscholle
Ohni Besatzig isch si für Jahre verlore gange
Nur Ratte a Bord iz isch si wider da i vouem Glanz
Aues wie nöi i loufe zum ändi vom Gang
Gseh überau die aute Biuder vo Ihre ar Wang
De erblicki se sitzend am flügu ir mitti vom Sal
Sie häbt ihri Hang zum Kuss u seit i hadi erwartet
Und sie singt

(Gesang Helenka Danis)

Thirteenth Logbook Entry
The radio's been silent for four days
As if we were the only ones on this ocean
And then suddenly I receive the same distress signal again
Music coming from our radio, a sonata
A woman's voice, SOS in the form of opera singing
I radio back, asking for coordinates
But apparently, my reply still doesn't reach her.
I've lived on this cargo ship for so long
Listening to her song until night falls, I wonder
What she looks like and what she's lost in this piece
Over the radio, I offer her some of my canned meat
I go on deck, send her an applause
An imaginary bouquet from a sorrowful sailor
Eventually, silence will return to this boat
And only her voice will remain in my head, and she sings

(Helenka Danis singing)

Penultimate Logbook Entry
No land in sight and no signal for four days
Engine flooded and supplies running low
A gray anthill on all the screens
And suddenly, the opera comes through the radio again
The frequency indicates an urgent distress call
A point appears on the sonar, approaching
It must be from the ship with the singing woman on it
Engine's dead, I run to the engine room
Ship drifting silently towards the ice floe
When I come back up, I'm blinded by lights
A celebration on the other side, her ship stands there and she sings

(Helenka Danis singing)

Last Logbook Entry
The other ship is full of colorful garlands
I climb aboard, following the lights and the singing
I'm saved, I run along the bow after the music
I don't see anyone yet, but I hear them
There's a concert on the ship, her voice getting closer
If I didn't see it clearly, I wouldn't believe it
But I'm standing right now on the lost Lyubov Orlova
I found her, they wanted to scrap her
The towline snapped and she vanished alone
Without a crew, she was lost for years
Only rats on board, now she's back in full splendor
Everything like new, I run to the end of the corridor
I see old pictures of her youthful face everywhere
Then I see her sitting at the grand piano in the middle of the hall
She raises her hand for a kiss and says she's been waiting for me
And she sings

(Helenka Danis singing)
