Текст и перевод песни Bläck Fööss - Mer losse d'r Dom in Kölle

Mer losse d'r Dom in Kölle

Mer losse d'r Dom en Kölle, denn do jehööt hä hin
Wat sull di dann woanders, dat hätt doch keine Senn
Mer losse d'r Dom in Kölle, denn do es hä ze huss
Un op singem ahle Platz, bliev hä och joot en Schuss
Un op singem ahle Platz, bliev hä och joot en Schuss

Stell d'r für, de Kreml stünd o'm Ebertplatz
Stell d'r für, de Louvre stünd am Ring
Do wör für die zwei doch vell ze winnich Platz
Dat wör doch e unvorstellbar Ding

Am Jürzenich, do wör vielleich et Pentajon
Am Rothus stünd dann die Akropolis
Do wöss mer över haup nit, wo mer hinjonn sullt
Un daröm es dat eine janz jewess

Mer losse d'r Dom en Kölle, denn do jehööt hä hin
Wat sull di dann woanders, dat hätt doch keine Senn
Mer losse d'r Dom in Kölle, denn do es hä ze huss
Un op singem ahle Platz, bliev hä och joot en Schuss
Un op singem ahle Platz, bliev hä och joot en Schuss

Die Ihrestross, die hieß vielleich Sixth Avenue
Oder die Nordsüd-Fahrt Brennerpass
D'r Mont Klamott, dä heiss op eimol Zuckerhut
Do köm dat Panorama schwer in Brass

Jetzt froch ich üch, wem domet jeholfe es
Wat nötz die janze Stadtsanierung schon?
Do sull doch leever alles blieve wie et es
Un mir behaale uns're schöne Dom

Mer losse d'r Dom en Kölle, denn do jehööt hä hin
Wat sull di dann woanders, dat hätt doch keine Senn
Mer losse d'r Dom in Kölle, denn do es hä ze huss
Un op singem ahle Platz, bliev hä och joot en Schuss
Un op singem ahle Platz, bliev hä och joot en Schuss

We Leave the Cathedral in Cologne

We leave the cathedral in Cologne, that's where it belongs
What would it be doing elsewhere, that makes no sense
We leave the cathedral in Cologne, that's where it's at home
And in its old place, it will remain for a good while
And in its old place, it will remain for a good while

Imagine if the Kremlin stood on Ebertplatz
Imagine if the Louvre stood on the Ring
There would be far too little space for those two
That would be an unimaginable thing

At the Gürzenich, there might be the Pentagon
At the Rothus, there might be the Acropolis
We wouldn't know where to go then
And that's why it's a sure thing

We leave the cathedral in Cologne, that's where it belongs
What would it be doing elsewhere, that makes no sense
We leave the cathedral in Cologne, that's where it's at home
And in its old place, it will remain for a good while
And in its old place, it will remain for a good while

The Ehrenstraße, might be called Sixth Avenue
Or the North-South route, the Brenner Pass
The Mont Klamott, would suddenly be called Sugarloaf Mountain
The panorama would be in a real mess

Now I ask you, who would that help?
What good is all this urban renewal?
Everything should rather remain as it is
And we keep our beautiful cathedral

We leave the cathedral in Cologne, that's where it belongs
What would it be doing elsewhere, that makes no sense
We leave the cathedral in Cologne, that's where it's at home
And in its old place, it will remain for a good while
And in its old place, it will remain for a good while
