Wie Wird Des Weitergeh'n

Da junge Mensch sitzt gottergeb
Und fiacht si voa di Bam voam Fensta.
Er hot si an di Agonie verkauft.
Di schenan Zeitn san vorbei,
Er is gelehmt voa Aungst,
Er was er is ala und kraunk und kana hüft erm.
Er wü fuat, nua fuat.
Er wü weg, nix wia weg.
Gschpiat dass des wos ernstes is,
Er fiacht si in da Frua voam Aufsteh.
Und ollas wosa denkn kau is
Wie heat des auf, wie wird des weitagehn?
Die gaunze Kroft hot erm valossn,
Wo san di Toge wo da Wind den Kota in da Frua vablosn hot.
Er hot di Spüle imma gwunnen,
Er hot so leichte Gegna kopt,
Er hot ned glaubt dassa amoi valiern kennt.
Es is vorbei, olles vorbei,
Er is ala, gaunz ala
Er söba is jez sei greßta Gegna,
Und söba tuat si nermd gern weh owa jez muasa wal er was ned:
Wie heat des auf, wie wird des weitagehn?
Er gibt si Mühe dassa ruhig bleibt,
Ret ned vü und grobt si ein.
Er wü vameidn dassa unguat auffoit.
Er flüchtet in di Söbstzastörung,
Vü Schnops, vü Rauch und vü Kaffee.
Bis erm amoi di Luft wegbleibt
So heat des auf, So wird des weitagehn

How Will It Go On

The young man sits with resignation
And stares out the window at the trees.
He has sold himself to agony.
The good times are over,
He is paralyzed with fear,
He knows he is alone and sick and no one can help him.
He wants to run away, just run away.
He wants to get away, just get away.
He feels that this is serious,
He fears getting up in the morning.
And all he can think about is
When will this end, how will it go on?
All his strength has left him,
Where are the days when the wind used to blow the kite in the morning.
He always won the game,
He always bought easy opponents,
He never thought he could ever lose.
It is over, all over,
He is alone, completely alone
He himself is now his greatest opponent,
And he would never hurt himself, but now he must because he does not know:
When will this end, how will it go on?
He tries to stay calm,
Doesn't say much and buries himself in work.
He wants to avoid attracting bad attention.
He escapes into self-destruction,
Lots of booze, lots of smoke and lots of coffee.
Until he can't breathe anymore
That's how it ends, that's how it will go on
