Paroles et traduction Peter Reber - Beni

Beni

1.D Schtrass isch sys Dehėime xy u so hėt mer ne kėnt
D Füüscht hėt er scho pruucht aûs chlyne Bueb
Niemer hėt ne gärn ghaa, u das hėt ne von is trėnt
Er isch alėi xy mit syr Wuet

Ref."Beni – Beni!" hėi si xėit, "wėn das so wytergėit
Wirt s mit dir emaû es böses Ändi nää!
Beni – Beni!" hėi si xėit – derby nid überlėit
Das ėine, wo nie hėt überchoo, o nüüt cha gää

2.Mit zwänzgi hėt er ds ėrschte Maû im Läbe Liebi gschpürt
En angere hėt im ds Mėitschi wider gnoo
Dė hėt Beni rot xėė, u mit Gwaût hoût er se zrügg
Uf em Poschten isch er wider zue sech choo

Ref.

3.Ds Läbe hėt ne ghudlet, hėt ne bös i d Zange gnoo
Isch ėine vo de Schattesyte xy
Er hėt s probiert, hėt Schulde gmacht u schlimmer isch es choo
Am Schluss, da wėis er nüm, wo uus, wo y

Ref.

4.So isch s choo, wi d Lüüt hėi xėit, es böses Änd hėt s gnoo
Wacker hėt er ds Sündebüechli gfüût
Beni hėt se nid enttüüscht, o "Werum?" u "Wieso?"
Kėne hätti jė di Frage gschtėût

Ref.Nume "Beni – Beni!" hėi si xėit, "wėn das so wytergėit
Wirt s mit dir emaû es böses Ändi nää!
Ja, Beni – Beni!" hėi si xėit – derby nid überlėit
Das ėine, wo nie hėt überchoo, o nüüt cha gää

Beni

1.The street is his home here and there he is not welcome
He has been drinking since he was a little boy
No one liked him, and that didn't bother him
He always walks around with his anger

Ref."Beni - Beni!" they cry, "if this continues
It will come to a bad end for you!
Beni - Beni!" they cry - without thinking
That one, who never received anything, cannot give anything

2.At twenty he felt love for the first time in his life
Another one stole the girl from him
He was furious and with force he got her back
On the post he came to his senses again

Ref.

3.Life caressed him, took him by the throat
He is one of the obscure people here
He tried it, got into debt and it got worse
In the end, he no longer knows where he is going

Ref.

4.So it happened, as people say here, it came to a bad end
Bravely he filled the sin book
Beni did not disappoint them, and "Why?" and "How?"
Who would have asked these questions

Ref.Only "Beni - Beni!" they cry, "if this continues
It will come to a bad end for you!
Yes, Beni - Beni!" they cry - without thinking
That one, who never received anything, cannot give anything
