Текст и перевод песни Hannes Wader - Min Jehann

Min Jehann

Ik wull, wi weern noch kleen, Jehann
Do weer de Welt so grot
Wi seten op den Steen, Jehann
Weest noch, bi Nawers Sot
An Heben seil de stille Maan
Wi segen, wa he leep
Un snacken, wa de Himmel hoch
Un wa de Sot wul deep

Weest noch, wa still dat weer, Jehann?
Dar röhr keen Blatt an Bom
So is dat nu ni mehr, Jehann
As höchstens noch in Drom
Och ne, wenn do de Scheper sung
Alleen, int wide Feld
Ni wahr, Jehann, dat weer en Ton
De eenzige op de Welt

Mitünner inne Schummerntid
Denn ward mi so to Mod
Denn löppt mi′t langs den Rügg so hitt
As domals bi den Sot
Denn dreih ik mi so hasti um
As weer ik nich alleen
Doch allens, wat ik finn, Jehann
Dat is ik sta un ween

Darling Johanna

I wish we were still young, Johanna
Then the world seemed so vast
When we sat upon that stone, Johanna
Do you remember, by our neighbor's fool?
The silent moon sailed overhead
We watched its gentle course
And talked about the boundless sky
And dreamed of distant shores

Do you recall how still it was, Johanna?
Not a leaf stirred on the trees
Things are different now, Johanna
At most, in dreams, it seems
Oh no, when the shepherd sang
Alone, in the vast field
Wasn't it a melody, Johanna,
The only sound in the world?

Sometimes in the twilight hours
I'm filled with such a longing
A warmth runs down my spine
As it did by the fool's plot
I turn around so quickly
As if I'm not alone
But all I find, Johanna
Is myself, standing here, alone
