Текст и перевод песни BAP - Wat 'e Johr!

Wat 'e Johr!

Sibbe Jestalte un en Schlaachzeil, irjendwie komisch, ir'ndjet stemp do nit. Die wesse mieh, als se bewiese künne. Jedenfalls mieh, als deck un fett behauptet weed. Drusse litt Schnie un drinne weed et laut, et sprudelt Strophe, Riffs un Melodie. Wie't ussieht, weed endlich Musik jemaht he, noh Ewigkeite widder su wie't sich für'n Band jehührt. Kumm, loss ens hühre! Kumm, loss probiere! Kumm, lommer fiere! (Wat 'e Johr!) Wat 'e unfaßbar Johr dat woor! (Wat 'e Johr!) Wat 'e unnormal Johr, wat 'e wundebar Johr dat woor! Theater, Stadthalle, Hotelbars un en Oper, monatelang em Bus op Autobahne, skeptische Blecke bess et Ihß jeschmolze, bess alles steht, et jeht met weh'nde Fahne aff. Sibbe Jestalte vüür'ner Leinwand, schon unjewohnt he op dä Kinobühn! Hinger der Kam'ra einer, dä die Band kpaiert hätt, als wöhr se sujet wie'ne unjedriehte Film vun ihm.

What a Year!

Seven figures and a headline, somehow funny, something doesn't fit here. They know more about me than they can prove. At least more than they claim boldly and in bold print. Outside there's snow and inside it's getting loud, verses, riffs and melodies are bubbling up. Looks like music is finally being made again, after ages it feels like it should for a band. Come on, let's listen! Come on, let's try it out! Come on, let's celebrate! (What a year!) What an incredible year it was! (What a year!) What an extraordinary year, what a wonderful year it was! Theatres, city halls, hotel bars and an opera house, months on the bus on motorways, sceptical looks until the ice melted, until everyone stood up, their flags waving. Seven figures in front of a canvas, already unusual here on the cinema stage! Behind the camera, one who understood the band, as if it were the subject of an unmade film of his.
