Paroles et traduction Wolfgang Ambros - I Drah Zua

I Drah Zua

Immer muaß i mit euch Karten spün
A wanns mi gar net gfreut
Nur wegen euch andern muaß i mitspün
A wann mi alles anfäult
A Regel habts fürs ganze Lebn
Geben – ausspün und stechn
Oder schen brav zuagebn
I drah zua, weil i bald gnua hab
Die Atout in meiner Hand san zwar zwenig
Aber zum Spün ghört eben Glück
Net nur Verstand
Habts a Gabl, dann habts es gwunnen
Habts es net, is guat für mi –
Außerdem könnts euch verschmeißen
Aber Farb muaßts draufgebn
Und spün tua i
Aber ab heut könnts mi vergessen
I spü des, was mi grad gfreut:
Domino oder Pfitschigoggerln ganz alla
Weil ab heute hab i Zeit
A Regel habts fürs ganze Leben,
Geben – ausspün – stechen
Oder schenk brav zuagebn
I drah zua, weil i bald gnua hab
Schmierts euch euer Spü in de Haar
Es werd's an andern, an andern Trottel finden
Der mit euch spüt, des is ma klar
Vur mein allerletztn Gangl
Wer i euch no a Runde zahln
I geb zua i hab oft gschummelt
Aber des is euch nie aufgfallen
I drah zua, weil i bald gnua hab
I drah zua, weil i hab gnua

I Draw Two

I always have to play cards with you
Even when I don't feel like it
Just because of you others, I have to play
Even when everything is getting me down
You have one rule for your whole life
Give – draw – and bluff
Or just confess nicely
I draw two, because I've had enough
The trump cards in my hand are admittedly too few
But playing also requires luck
Not just brains
If you have a fork, then you've won
If you don't, it's good for me –
Besides, you could throw yourself away
But you have to give color
And I play
But from today on, you can forget about me
I'll play what I feel like:
Dominoes or marbles all by myself
Because from today on, I have time
You have one rule for your whole life,
Give – draw – bluff
Or just confess nicely
I draw two, because I've had enough
Rub your game in your hair
You'll find another sucker, another idiot
Who will play with you, that's clear to me
Before my very last game
I'll pay you one more round
I admit I often cheated
But you never noticed
I draw two, because I've had enough
I draw two, because I've had enough
