Paroles et traduction 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

My Job

It's dark and still
I can hear him already
He's coughing but saying nothing
He's heating coffee on the stove
I'm still lying in bed
As his door opens outside

Because I have to go to work
To work
I can't be late
Because I have to go to work
To work
I can't be late

I Pass by tall buildings
Full of depressed people
First by bike, then by moped
He's been saving for a car for years
He's going crazy from the rat race
And he's blind to life

Because at work
At work
We have to give everything
Because at work
At work
We have to give everything

When he gets home, it's dark
The day is done
He's done what he had to do
Because that's the way it has to be
He's coughing but saying nothing
He wants his peace and quiet

Because life is work
And it's killing me
Yeah because life is work
And it's killing me
