Ahl Männer, aalglatt (Remastered 2006)

1)
Ahl Männer, die Hand en Hand, als Denkmal uss Schmalz,
Ahndächtig vüür Kameras posiere, ennwändig ihßkalt,
Ihr Trauer, die duutjeboore, als Kür em Protokoll,
Vüürm Festbankett absolviere . Ich weiß wat die soll.
Paradeschritt, Marschmusik, schwazz-ruut-jold em Wind
Un platteste Sprüch parat für Opfer, die blind
All vier Johr als Krüzzje brav, vüürdemoskopiert,
Ihr Stemme en Urne bejraave, demokratisch kaschiert.
Refr.:
Ahl Männer, unerbittlich nette ahl Männer,
Pathetisch, fett un satt.
Ahl Männer, uss em Ei jepellte ahl Männer,
Ahlglatt.
2)
Schauspieler, dien Schmieretheatern durchfeele, mangels Talente,
Konfus met Erdteile jongliere, en Rolle vun Staatspraesidente.
Wie Aape, die met jeladne Pistole neujierisch hantiere,
Dürfen Viersterne Clowns ihr Rakete als Spillzeuch em All stationiere.
Dat hes kei Land mieh, wo beim Barbier Portraits ahn der Wan
Vun Despote, die en Schullklasse Logeplätz hann,
Doch immer noch eins, wo ahnbiedernste Böck Järtner sinn,
Och wenn se veezisch Johr blööke, dat dat lang nit mieh stemmp.
Refr.:
Ahl Männer, unerbittlich nette ahl Männer,
Pathetisch, fett un satt.
Ahl Männer, uss em Ei jepellte ahl Männer,
Ahlglatt.
Refr.:
Ahl Männer, unerbittlich nette ahl Männer,
Pathetisch, fett un satt.
Ahl Männer, uss em Ei jepellte ahl Männer,
Ahlglatt.

Old men, slippery as eels (Remastered 2006)

1)
Old men, hand in hand, like a monument made of lard,
Piously posing in front of cameras, cold inside,
Your sadness, it seems fake, like a formality in the protocol,
To be completed before the banquet. I know what its purpose is.
Marching in formation, military music, black-red-gold in the wind,
And ready with the most banal speeches for victims who are blind,
Every four years, like lambs obediently led to the slaughter,
Putting their votes in urns, a democratic disguise.
Chorus:
Old men, relentlessly kind old men,
Pathetic, fat and contented.
Old men, hatched from eggs, old men,
Slippery as eels.
2)
Actors, your melodramatic theaters are boring, due to lack of talent,
Confusedly juggling with continents, in the role of presidents of state.
Like apes who curiously handle loaded pistols,
Four-star clowns are allowed to deploy their rockets as toys in space.
There is no country left where the barber shop walls display,
Portraits of despots who have school children occupying the gallery seats,
But there is still one where the most naive simpletons are gardeners,
Even if they have been bleating for seventy years that it is no longer valid.
Chorus:
Old men, relentlessly kind old men,
Pathetic, fat and contented.
Old men, hatched from eggs, old men,
Slippery as eels.
Chorus:
Old men, relentlessly kind old men,
Pathetic, fat and contented.
Old men, hatched from eggs, old men,
Slippery as eels.
