Paroles et traduction Kurt Ostbahn feat. Kurti Ostbahn - Arbeit

Arbeit

Es is no finster und
Da hear i eam scho
Er redt nix und huast vü
Warmt Kaffee am Rechaud
I lieg no in da Hapf'n
Wann de Tür draußt geht

Weil in die Arbeit
In die Arbeit
Kummt ma net zu spät
Weil in die Arbeit
In die Arbeit
Kummt ma net zu spät

Vorbei an de hoch'n Häuser
Voller z'sammg'stauchte Leit
Zeascht mit'n Rad'l, dann mit'n Moped
Aufs Auto spart er bis heit
Er is bald derrisch von da Hock'n
Und er is blind fürs Leb'n

Weil in da Arbeit
In da Arbeit
Muaß ma ollas geb'n
Weil in da Arbeit
In da Arbeit
Muaß ma ollas geb'n

Wann er ham kummt, is finster
Da Tog is vurbei
Er hat tan, wos zum tuan is
Weil des muaß so sei
Er redt nix und huast vü
Er wü sei Ruah und sein Tee mit Rum

Weil des Leb'n is Arbeit
Und de bringt eam um
Jo weil des Leb'n is Arbeit
Und de bringt eam um

Work

It's so dark, and
I can already hear him
He says nothing and coughs a lot
Warms his coffee on the rechaud
I'm still lying in bed
When he goes out the door

Babe, to work
To work
I'm gonna be late
Babe, to work
To work
I'm gonna be late

Past the high-rise buildings
Full of people crammed together
First with the bike, then with the moped
He saves up for his car till today
He's going crazy from squatting
And he's blind to life

Darling, in work,
In work
I've got to give my all
Darling, in work
In work
I've got to give my all

When he gets home, it's dark
The day is over
He's done what he had to do
Because that's what life is
He says nothing and coughs a lot
He wants his peace and quiet and his tea with rum

Because life is work,
And it's killing him
Yeah, because life is work,
And it's killing him
