Paroles et traduction Steve Kali - Maskebau

Maskebau

Aber isches de o, was mer sueche
Nei, meischtens weih si meh
Dini Maske isch so ächt, dass me meint, me heig di gseh
Weisch du meh - (weisch du meh)
Mir lade ii zum MaskeBau - (Yeah)
We mir witer ine Schatte luege
Wirsch du d'Geischter leider gseh
Drum Maske uf, Blind-Date, zeig nid einisch meh - (niemaus)
Blinddate uf anonymem Karnevau

Chumm, i lad di iih, fürne churze Tanz
Aus blibt anonym, öb Mah oder Frou, s'isch androgyn
Nurno Hass derbii, wöu ne bruchsch im Kampf
Bisch du guet im Tanz, s'isch ä Akt vo Gwaut
Dä Bsuech isch privat bi däm MaskeBau

D'Tanzflächi isch äs Schachbrätt
Vore d'Puppe, hinger dä, wo drüber d'Macht hätt
S'isch de König, wo di Fäde i dr Hang häbt
Auso tanzet - Är seiht tanzet
Dihr sitt gfange, wöu dir wartet, was derbii passiert
Doch beschränket nech uf Schach, das isch chlikarriert
Öii Wäut het ä vorgsehni Loufzit
Bewegt me sech dert inn, wird meh so gseh nie Tschoud si

Aber isches de o, was mir sueche
Z'Läbe tot läbe u sis Grab verflueche
Mir lade ii zum Maskebau
Blinddate uf anonymem Karnevau
We mir witer ine Schatte luege
Wärdes soz'säge aues schwarzi Blueme
Mir lade ii zum Maskebau
Blinddate uf anonymem Karnevau

Wiich us
Du machsch ä Zug und i gliich us
Du bisch gfange zwüsche 64 Fäuder
Aues schwarzwiiss macht ja gar ke Sinn
Liecht us
Du wartisch nur, wöu du Zit bruchsch
Zug um Zug, mir si nid gliich uf
We dir da nur Schach blibt, wirsch ja Farbeblind

Di Move cha nid cho, denn du dänksch nid sicher
D'Figur a dr Front het beschränkti Schritte
Doch kämpfsch di bis a jenes Ändi witer
Schlöh si di ja när zum Ritter
Drum dänk di nid wäg, nur wöu's längwilig hättsch
Ä Beförderig für di wartet am Ändi vom Brätt
Dis Läbe, di Wärt, wosch, dass z'Gägenüber äbe isch
U d'isch de Grund, dass du deswäge hüt mi Gägner bisch

Aber isches de o, was mir sueche
Z'Läbe tot läbe u sis Grab verflueche
Mir lade ii zum Maskebau
Blinddate uf anonymem Karnevau
We mir witer ine Schatte luege
Wärdes soz'säge aues schwarzi Blueme
Mir lade ii zum Maskebau
Blinddate uf anonymem Karnevau

Mir lade ii zum Maskebau
Blinddate uf anonymem Karnevau

Masquerade

But is this what we're looking for, girl?
No, mostly they want more
Your mask is so real, I thought I'd seen you before
Do you know more - (do you know more)
I invite you to the Masquerade - (Yeah)
When we look further into the shadows
You'll see the ghosts, unfortunately
So mask on, blind date, don't show yourself again - (to anyone)
Blind date at an anonymous carnival

Come, I invite you in, for a short dance
It stays anonymous, whether man or woman, it's androgynous
Only hate is involved, because you need it in the fight
If you're good at dancing, it's an act of violence
The visit is private at this Masquerade

The dance floor is a chessboard
In front, the puppets, behind, the one who holds the power
It's the king who pulls the strings
So dance - He watches you dance
You are trapped because you wait to see what happens
But don't limit yourself to chess, that's small-minded
Your world has a predetermined lifespan
If you move within it, you'll never be seen as free

But is this what we're looking for
To live life dead and curse your grave
We invite you to the Masquerade
Blind date at an anonymous carnival
When we look further into the shadows
It will all become, so to speak, black flowers
We invite you to the Masquerade
Blind date at an anonymous carnival

Give way
You make a move and I equalize
You're trapped between 64 squares
Everything black and white makes no sense
Lights out
You just wait, because you need time
Turn by turn, we're not on the same level
If all you have is chess, you'll become colorblind

Your move can't come because you're not thinking clearly
The piece at the front has limited steps
But if you fight your way to that end
They'll knight you
So don't think yourself away, just because you're bored
A promotion is waiting for you at the end of the board
Your life, your values, you want the other side to be equal
And that's the reason why you're my opponent today

But is this what we're looking for
To live life dead and curse your grave
We invite you to the Masquerade
Blind date at an anonymous carnival
When we look further into the shadows
It will all become, so to speak, black flowers
We invite you to the Masquerade
Blind date at an anonymous carnival

We invite you to the Masquerade
Blind date at an anonymous carnival
