Paroles et traduction Konstantin Wecker - Oma

Oma

Oma kumm, mir müaßn geh, 's werd abbaut.
Hast a wirklich nix mehr steh, hast nachgschaugt?
Muaßt versteh, die neien Mieter warten,
Und die ham scho lang die bessern Karten.

Oma, sag mir liaber, sag mir, was i macha ko.
Mach jetzt gschwind, die Möbelpacker lacha scho.
Oide Leit san heitzutag blamabel,
Und wia oide Häuser unrentabel.

Oma, ja, i woaß, da hast dei Lebn verbracht.
Da herin hat di mei Muatter scho zur Oma gmacht.
In dem Bett da, woaßt as, is da Opa gstorbn -
Siebzig Winter san mit dir da drin zum Frühling wordn.

Oma, hat koan Sinn, wenn ma si gegan Fortschritt wehrt.
Wer koa Geld hat, is heut bloß die Hälften wert.
Immerhin, die neie Wohnung is am Stadtrand draußt,
Und i führ dir jeden Tag dein Wasti aus,
I versprichs.

Oma, bittschön ja, i hab ja a a Wuat
Und muaß zuagebn, i versteh di guat,
Und am liabsten dad i mit dir sitzenbleibn
Und dös ganze Gschwerl aus unserm Haus vertreibn.

Aber irgendwie kriagn die uns immer wieder raus.
Die ham an längern Atem, ja, ja die haltn länger aus.
Liaber samma stolz, geh weiter, pack dei Glump -
Wenn i ihn triff, an Hauswirt, speib i ihn o, den Lump,
I versprichs.

Wehr di, Oma, wehr di, laß di außatragn,
Dene sollt ma doch koa Schand ersparn.
Und i glaub, an seine Schmerzen tragn,
Is am End no besser wia koa Herz mehr habn.
1 versprichs.

Grandma

Grandma come on, we have to leave, this place is being demolished.
Do you really not have anything left, are you sure you checked?
You need to understand that the new tenants are waiting,
And they have had the better cards for a long time.

Grandma, just tell me, tell me what I can do.
Hurry up now, the movers are already laughing.
Old people are a disgrace nowadays,
And like old houses they are unprofitable.

Grandma, yes, I know, you spent your life here.
In here, my mother already made you a grandmother.
In that bed, you know, grandpa died -
Seventy winters have become spring with you in there

Grandma, there's no point in resisting progress.
Whoever has no money, is only worth half today.
At least, the new apartment is on the outskirts,
And I will take Wasti out every day,
I promise.

Grandma, please yes, I also have a say
And I must admit, I understand you well,
And I would rather stay with you
And drive all this rabble out of our house.

But somehow they keep getting us out again.
They have more stamina, yes, yes they can endure more.
We'd rather be proud, let's go, pack your things -
If I meet him, the landlord, I'll spit on him, that rogue,
I promise.

Defend yourself, Grandma, defend yourself, let them carry you out,
We shouldn't spare them any shame.
And I think, bearing his pain,
In the end is better than no longer having a heart.
1 I promise.
