Paroles et traduction Patent Ochsner - 21 Gramm

21 Gramm

Da isches Loch i dr Luft.
Irgendöppis isch verrütscht.
Üse Lift isch blybe schtecke
& Hanget am ne Sydefade i dr Lääri.
Mir si zwöi komplett verträiti Magnet
& Luege zue, wie d Gletscherzunge wachse.

Wo genau si mir hie?
Isch das dr Rand vor Ärde?
& Gheie mir bim nächschte Schritt i ds bodelose Nüt?
Frag mi lieber nid, was us üs no aus söu wärde
& öb mir üs jemaus widerfinge.

Da isch es Loch i dr Luft
& En Uhr isch blybe schtah.
Da isch dr Schatte vo re alte Flamme
& Nes furchtbar vertrochnets Flussbett
& D melodie, die chert vo Dur zu Moll
& Irgendwo fähle 21 Gramm.

21 Grams

There's a hole in the air.
Something's amiss.
Our elevator has stalled
& is hanging by a thread in the void.
We are two completely confused magnets
& are watching the glacial tongues grow.

Exactly where are we here?
Is this the edge of the Earth?
& will we step into the bottomless nothingness with our next step?
Don't ask me what's supposed to become of us
& whether we'll ever find each other again.

There's a hole in the air
& a clock has stopped.
There's the shadow of an old flame
& a terribly parched riverbed
& the melody that turns from major to minor
& somewhere 21 grams are missing.
