Paroles et traduction Wolfgang Ambros - Hoit da is a Spoit

Hoit da is a Spoit

I sitz unt' beim Wirt'n und schnops ma an Lita aus
Es steht zwa mit Luft fia'n andan, fia mi schaut's bitta aus.
Der hot scho's dritte Moi in 40ga in da Hand
Der hot a Glick beim Schnops'n, heast der is beinand.
Auf amoi gneiß i, der sticht scho des zweite Moi mit'n Aß,
Des G'frast des wü mi linkn heast, do kenn i kann Spaß.
Hoit, do is a Spoit - paßt's auf doß kana einefoit.
Wia i so auf da Goss'n geh, hoit mi ana auf:
Gestatt'n, sogt er, les'ns gern, jo manchmoi sog i drauf.
Da zieht er einen Block hervor und schaut mi komisch an
"Mein lieber Herr, ich hätte do, ein günstiges Abonnement".
"Gengans untaschreib'ns, les'ns goa ned wos do steht!"
Der wü mi doch nur einedrah'n, doch bei mir geht des ned.
Hoit, do is a Spoit - paßt's auf doß kana einefoit.
Wia i gestan ham geh, eigspritzt woa i a,
Kummt ma vua wie wann vua mia a boz'n Abgrund wa
Wos is den do los denk i ma, is a Erdbeb'n gwes'n?
Des hätt i doch sichalich in da Zeitung gles'n
Des muaß a Sinnestäuschung sei i wü scho weidageh
Do schreit ana: "A Baugrua'm hea'ns um Gotteswüll'n bleib'ns steh!"
Hoit, do is a Spoit - paßt's auf doß kana einefoit.

Beware There's a Gap

Let me sit at the bar and down another beer.
The air is free for others, but for me it tastes bitter.
I've had 40s for three now in my hand
I'm lucky with snops, or so I am told
Suddenly, I realize, he's sticking me twice with an ace
This fraud is pissing me off, I'm not having any fun.
Whoa, there's a gap - pay attention so no one falls in.
As I'm walking on the street, someone stops me
Excuse me, he says, do you like to read? Sometimes I do, I say.
He pulls out a pad and gives me a strange look
"My dear sir, I have here a great subscription deal".
"Just sign up and don't bother reading what it says!"
He just wants to trick me, but that won't work on me.
Whoa, there's a gap - pay attention so no one falls in.
As I was walking home, I got a little lost
Suddenly, it felt like I was standing before a gaping abyss.
What the hell is going on, I think, has there been an earthquake?
I would have surely read about it in the newspaper.
It must be an optical illusion, I'm just going to keep walking
Then someone screams: "A construction pit! For God's sake, stop!"
Whoa, there's a gap - pay attention so no one falls in.
