Paroles et traduction Ostbahn-Kurti & Die Chefpartie - Arbeit

Arbeit

Es is nu finster und da hear i eam scho
Er redt nix und huast vü
Warmt Kaffee am Réchaud
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'samm g'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 (ge)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 getting dark now and I can already hear him
He speaks little and coughs a lot
Heating coffee on the stove
I'm still lying in bed
When the door opens outside
Because you never can be late to work
Because you never can be late to work

Passing high-rise buildings
Full of people squeezed together
First by bicycle, then by moped
He's saving up for a car
He's almost crazy with desperation
And he's blind to life
Because at work - at work you have to give your all
Because at work - at work you have to give your all

When he gets home, it's dark
The day is over
He's done what he had to do
Because it must be that way
He doesn't say much and he coughs a lot
He wants his peace and quiet and his tea with rum
Because life is work and it's killing him
Yes, because life is work and it's killing him
