Paroles et traduction Peter Reber - Dr letscht Wolf

Dr letscht Wolf

Anno 1947, e graue Tag isch's gsy
E Tag, wi jede anger, nume nid für di
Wär weis, wi lang si gsuecht hei, wyt i dym Revier
Bis si di hei gfunde, zmitz im Visier

Itz wei si dys Läbe, dr letscht Wolf müessi ga
Über alli Bärge, louf, solang dr Atem ma
Hie bisch du verlore, bisch gächtet und verdammt
Bisch ne z frei und z anders, hesch ke Platz meh i däm Land

Vo dir verzellt me Gschichte, di schtrübschte, wo me cha
Jede weis chly z brichte, für alls muesch häreha
Drum müessisch itz verschwinde, dr Platz hie sygi z chly
Wed chönntsch, de würdsch se frage, wär zersch hie syg gsy

Itz wei si dys Läbe, dr letscht Wolf müessi ga ...

Vo wyt sy si cho luege, ds Unghüür isch erleit
Wo si di mit Jutze i ds Tal abe hei treit
Chly und still bisch gläge, töt us Unverstand
U wider isch chly Freiheit gstorbe i däm Land

Itz wei si dys Läbe, dr letscht Wolf müessi ga ...

Bisch ne z frei und z anders, hesch ke Platz meh i däm Land

The Last Wolf

In the year 1947, the day was grey
A day like any other, but not for you
Who knows how far they searched, throughout your domain
Until they found you, in their sight

Now they want your life, the last wolf must go
Over all the mountains, run, as long as you have breath
Here you are lost, you are outlawed and condemned
You are too free and different, you have no place in this land

They tell stories about you, the most horrible ones they can
Everyone has something to say, you must answer for everything
That's why you have to disappear now, the space here is too small
If you could, you would ask them who was here first

Now they want your life, the last wolf must go ...

From afar they came to watch, the monster is slain
As they carried you down the valley with cheers
Small and silent you lay, killed out of ignorance
And again, a little bit of freedom died in this land

Now they want your life, the last wolf must go ...

You are too free and different, you have no place in this land
