Paroles et traduction Hannes Wader - Reine Natur

Reine Natur

Dar havert mal wedder en Tanker up Sand.
Rundrum deckt dat Rohöl de See,
Un jümmer mehr Smeer flütt to Lee ut de Wand,
Bruun-swart, as de Ogen von′tReh.
Vör't Schipp kümmt en Stockentenwaart nich mehr flott.
In Smeer swümmt de Seevagel slecht,
He paddelt sich neger un neger an Gott,
He hett de letzt Ölung ja weg.
Hebbn wi nich lehrt,
Siet dat wi borrn:
Keen dar good smeert,
Ward ok good fahrn!
De Segen von baven is blanke Chemie
Un kummt ut en Hubschruuvmaschin.
As letztet Geschenk von uns düütsch Industrie
Kann Regen recht segensriek sien.
De Teppich swümmt breed up de Doggerbank to,
Ward breder up′t Wellengewöhl.
De Wind geiht to Roh, un de Fischers sünd froh:
Se fangen Sardinen in Öl!
Hebbn wi nich lehrt,
Siet dat wi borrn:
Keen dar good smeert,
Ward ok good fahrn!

Pure Nature

There's a tanker stranded on the sand again.
All around, crude oil covers the sea,
And more and more sludge flows ashore from the hull,
Brown-black as the eyes of a deer.
A flock of ducks can't float in front of the ship.
Seabirds swim poorly in the oil,
They paddle closer and closer to God,
They've already received their last rites.
Haven't we learned,
Since we were born:
Those who grease well,
Will also drive well!
The blessing from above is pure chemistry
And comes from a helicopter.
As the latest gift from our German industry
Rain can be quite a blessing.
The carpet floats wide to the Dogger Bank,
Grows wider on the undulating waves.
The wind blows hard, and the fishermen are happy:
They are catching sardines in oil!
Haven't we learned,
Since we were born:
Those who grease well,
Will also drive well!
