Текст и перевод песни BAP - Wa'ss loss met dä Stadt

Wa'ss loss met dä Stadt

Eck Howard Street / Lafayette, drusse räänt et, Soho weed wach.
Veezehnte Stock un die janze Naach durch dä übliche Krach,
Wie jede Naach.
Chaos em Kopp un nit wirklich jrooß mieh als e′ Aug zojemaat,
"Rewind" un aff un zo "Stop" un natürlich ahn domohls jedaach
Un mich jefrooch:
Wa'ss loss met dä Stadt, wa′ss loss met däm Land,
Wa'ss loss met Manhattan, wa'ss loss met däm Babylon,
Dat ich jekannt?
He′ss irj′ndjet verdrieht, he'ss irj′ndjet verkehrt,
Wat immer passiert ess, die pass nit heher,
Die kläävrije Angs.
Taxi nohm Airport, dä Tunnel ess sibbemohl länger als sons.
"We live on a target", säät Tony, dä he sick 'ner Ewigkeit wonnt
Un ein′jes jewonnt ess.
"Mer weede vun Arroganz un vun Paranoia rejiert,
Doch wer 'tt em Ähnz jedaach, dat dä sich dermaßen verjallopiert
Vüür lauter Gier?"
Wa′ss loss met dä Stadt, wa'ss loss met däm Land,
Wa'ss loss met Manhattan, wa′ss loss met däm Babylon,
Dat ich jekannt?
He′ss irj'ndjet verdrieht, he′ss irj'ndjet verkehrt,
Wat immer passiert ess, die pass nit heher,
Die kläävrije Angs.
Mer jläuv et ech nit, wemmer′t nit sieht,
He'ss irj′ndjet verkehrt, he'ss irj'ndjet verdrieht.
Wa′ss loss met dä Stadt, wa′ss loss met däm Land,
Wa'ss loss met Manhattan, wa′ss loss met däm Babylon,
Dat ich jekannt?
He'ss irj′ndjet verdrieht, he'ss irj′ndjet verkehrt,
Wat immer passiert ess, die pass nit heher,
Die kläävrije Angs.

What's Wrong with the City

At Howard Street / Lafayette, it rains outside, Soho wakes up.
Fourteenth floor and all night long the usual noise,
Like every night.
Chaos in my head and not really big enough anymore than an eye closed,
"Rewind" and now and then "Stop" and of course remembering back then
And I asked myself:
What's wrong with the city, what's wrong with the country,
What's wrong with Manhattan, what's wrong with this Babylon,
That I knew?
There's something wrong, there's something wrong,
Whatever happened, it does not fit here anymore,
The clever fear.
Taxi to the airport, the tunnel is seven times longer than usual.
"We live on a target", says Tony, who has lived there for an eternity
And has become one with it.
"We are ruled by arrogance and paranoia,
But who would have thought that it would get so out of hand
Out of sheer greed?"
What's wrong with the city, what's wrong with the country,
What's wrong with Manhattan, what's wrong with this Babylon,
That I knew?
There's something wrong, there's something wrong,
Whatever happened, it does not fit here anymore,
The clever fear.
I don't really believe it if I don't see it,
There's something wrong, there's something wrong.
What's wrong with the city, what's wrong with the country,
What's wrong with Manhattan, what's wrong with this Babylon,
That I knew?
There's something wrong, there's something wrong,
Whatever happened, it does not fit here anymore,
The clever fear.
