Paroles et traduction Patent Ochsner - Heimat

Heimat

Jitz schtahn I da, won I myni zyt ha gha
Vom chlyne bueb bis zum maa
E schtadt wie so mängi mit hüser, schtrasse
& Lüt
Da chläbt a auem e gschicht
E gruch, es grüüsch & nes gsicht
Es vermische sech d biuder vo geschter mit
Dene vo hüt
Am nordbahnhof fahren eim züg dervo
& I, I ha nie gwüsst, wieso
Die ging wieder zrügg si cho
I gah druus, wenn I drinne bi
& Wenn I duss bi, gahn I dry
Myni heimat isch dert, won I no nie bi gsi
Hie het dr pfarrer mi touft
Hie han I glehrt, wie me louft
Wie me misstritte macht & wieder
Ufschteit, we me isch gheit
Hie han I luftschlösser bout
& Ha mir grosses zuetrout
"Bhaut dr bau immer schön fach", hei die
Aute gseit
I ha eifach nid so wöue wärde wie die
Ha packt & bi furt vo hie
Nöimen aacho bin I nie
I gah druus, wenn I drinne bi
& Wenn I duss bi, gahn I dry
Myni heimat isch dert, won I no nie bi gsi
I ha ging das komische gfüeu
I hocki zwüsche de schtüeu
I ha dr fade verlore, irgendwo ungerwägs
I wett, es gieng mer am arsch verby
Hätt nie dänkt, dass I da, won I gebore bi
Jemaus so frömd würd si
I gah druus, wenn I drinne bi
& Wenn I duss bi, gahn I dry
Myni heimat isch dert, won I no nie bi gsi

Homeland

Now I stand where I have spent my time
From a little boy to a man
A city like so many with houses, streets
And people
There's a story clinging to everything
A scent, a murmur & a face
The dreams of yesterday mingle with
Those of today
A train leaves me at the north station
& I, I never knew why
It always came back
I go out, when I'm inside
& When I'm outside, I go in
My homeland is where I've never been
Here the priest baptized me
Here I learned how to walk
How to make mistakes & get
Up again, when I'm down
Here I built my castles in the air
& Trusted in great things
"Always build steadily", they
Said
I simply didn't want to become like them
Packed & left this place
Nevertheless, I never belonged
I go out, when I'm inside
& When I'm outside, I go in
My homeland is where I've never been
I always had this strange feeling
I'm sitting between the chairs
I've lost the thread, somewhere along the way
I bet I wouldn't give a damn
Never thought that I, where I was born
Would ever become so strange to me
I go out, when I'm inside
& When I'm outside, I go in
My homeland is where I've never been
