Paroles et traduction Wolfgang Niedecken - Rääts un links vum Bahndamm

Rääts un links vum Bahndamm

Rääts un links vum Bahndamm
Wähß Jestrüpp, un Jinster blöht
Dubbelkenn met Fachbooch jetz
Öm Blickkontakt bemüht
Lesezeichen rinnjelaat
De Brill en et Etui
Tippe op Vertreter un luhr fott:
"Nä - hück nit mieh!"

Drusse weet Deutschland wach
Un unger jedem Daach
Heiß et jetz, he 'n dä Stund:
"Ring frei - die nähxte Rund"

Rääts un links vum Bahndamm
Jonn die Radiowecker ahn
Registrierte, glattrasierte
Schweiger zur U-Bahn
Zeidunge met News vun jestern
Hück schon övverhollt
Zochkellner, bring Kaffee
Lauwärm, och ejal - wat soll't?

Ich wööhr noch jähn bei dir
Die Naach jing nur bess vier
Mir hatte kei Aug zo
Dä Grund dofür woors du

Ich sinn dich, wie du vüür mir em Bett sitz
Un leis "Dat wohr't wohl!?" sähß
Dä Rest Käaz ussblööhß, dich zur Wand wegdriehß
Sinn dich rääts un links vum Bahndamm

Jestern woss ich noch nit
Dat do wirklich existiers
Un dann wie'n 'm Märche
Is jätt seltsames passiert
Wenn du dat Leed hührs
Denks du "Naja" un grins
Glaub ich weiss dat die Naach
Nie em Alltagsmüll versink

Drusse weet Deutschland wach
Un unger jedem Daach
Heiß et jetz, he 'n dä Stund:
"Ring frei - die nähxte Rund"

Friedhöff, Hingerhöff un Bahnhöff wo dä Zoch nit hält
Wohnblocks, Industriejebiete 'ne Kettenhung, dä bellt
Tierasyle, Schreberjääde, Kathedrale, Puffs
Penner unger Bröcke, die erdraaren et em Suff

Ich wööhr noch jähn bei dir
Die Naach jing nur bess vier
Ich wööhr noch jähn bei dir
Ich wööhr noch jähn bei dir
Ich wööhr noch jähn bei dir
Ich wööhr noch jähn bei dir

Right and Left of the Railroad Track

Right and left of the railroad track
Shrubs and broom are in full bloom
Now I'm walking double with a professional book
Trying to make eye contact
Bookmark has slid down
Glasses put in their case
I tip my hat to the sales rep and yell out:
"No - not today!"

Outside, Germany awakens
And underneath every roof
It's said now, it's said this hour:
"Clear the ring - the next round"

Right and left of the railroad track
Radio alarm clocks go off
Clean-shaven commuters registered
At the subway station
Newspapers with yesterday's news
Already obsolete today
Train attendant, bring coffee
Lukewarm, no matter - what's the difference?

I only just left you
The night only lasted until four
We didn't sleep a wink
The reason for that was you

I see you, as you sit in bed before me
And quietly say "Guess that's it!?"
Blow out the rest of the candle and turn your back to the wall
I see you right and left of the railroad track

Yesterday I didn't know yet
That this really exists
And then like in a fairy tale
Something strange happened
When you hear this song
You'll think "Oh yeah," and smile
I think I know that that night
Will never sink into the everyday trash

Outside, Germany awakens
And underneath every roof
It's said now, it's said this hour:
"Clear the ring - the next round"

Cemeteries, backyards, and train stations where no train stops
Apartment blocks, industrial areas, a watchdog that barks
Animal shelters, allotment gardens, cathedrals, brothels
Homeless people under bridges, who freeze to death in their drunkenness

I only just left you
The night only lasted until four
I only just left you
I only just left you
I only just left you
I only just left you
