Paroles et traduction Patent Ochsner - Echo

Echo

D schatte wärde länger
D zyt isch uf dr fucht
S isch meh verby aus no wird cho
Dr summer schlycht dervo
& Du ghörsch no sys echo
Chumm, blas no mau i ds füür
& Pfanz no mau e boum
Chouf dir es nöis paar schueh
Ei tür geit uuf & ei tür geit zue
Mir si so mängisch verreckt & uufersch-
Tande
Hei fang so mänge abschtrich gmacht
Ganz guet im füge & schlächt im lande
Mir hei viu gschlückt & hei viu glacht
Ging chly nes gnuusch, ging chly am höie
Si i so mängi sackgass cho
& Hei a schwärem müesse chöie
Hei öppis gäh & öppis gno
Mängs isch i d hose, angers isch glunge
Hei funktioniert & hei verseit
Hei verlore & wieder gfunge
Hei üs la trage & hei treit
Mir hei neuland entdeckt & aute plunder
Hei viu gseh cho & viu gseh gah
Es isch es gschänk, gränzt an es wunder
Nach au däm si mir ging no da
D schatte wärde länger
D zyt isch uf dr fucht
S isch meh verby aus no wird cho
Dr summer schlycht dervo
& Du ghörsch no sys echo

Echo

Shadows grow longer
Time is running out
More has passed than is to come
Summer wanes
& You still hear its echo
Come, blow into the fire once more
& Plant another tree
Buy yourself a new pair of shoes
One door opens & one door closes
We have died and risen so many times
And
Made so many compromises
Good at adapting & bad at landing
We have laughed and cried a lot
Always a little tipsy, always a little high
I have walked into many dead ends
& Had to chew on tough stuff
I have both given and taken
Some things embarrassed me, others worked out
I have functioned & I have failed
I have lost & found again
I have let myself be carried & I have carried
We have discovered new lands & old junk
We have seen a lot come and go
It is a gift, bordering on a miracle
After all this we are still here
Shadows grow longer
Time is running out
More has passed than is to come
Summer wanes
& You still hear its echo
