Текст и перевод песни Lo & Leduc - Henker

Henker

Bärn, du bisch mi Henker
U glich hangi ah dir
Henker, du muesch pressiere
D'Zyt schaffet nid für nüt
Je lenger mir hie wärche
Desto ähnlecher wärde mir üs
Desto ähnlecher de Muure
D'Autstadt isch es Schattetal
Ds Münster isch dr Gaugä
U d'Aare dr Strick um mi Hals
U we sech ds Seili spannt
Spiu uf dere Saite es Lied
Vom Wätterhahn, wo chräiet:
"Nachem Wind richti mi nie, nie, nie"
Nei we sech ds Seili spannt
Spiu uf dere Saite es Lied
Vom Wätterhahn, wo chräiet:
"Nachem Wind richti mi nie"
U fahri mit de Händ dene Wänd entlang
Nimmts chli mi u nimmts chli Sand
Weiss chum, Bärn i bi
I weiss chum, Bärni bi
Di Stadt, di schlyft mi langsam ab
U scho gli bini nümm da
Weiss chum, Bärn i bi
I weiss chum, Bärni bi
Henker, du muesch pressiere
Chum leg mir di Schlinge ah
U de Strick hei si mir dräiht
Us was i bosget ha
I gsehs mir ah, i mues gli gah
Wüu d'Zyt schaffet nid für nüt
U je lenger mir hie wärche
Desto weniger blybt no vo üs
I risle mir scho dür d'Finger
Nei mi hets hie nüme lang
Lieber steinlets mi itz us
Schüsch blibt vo mir numeno Sand
U wesech ds Seili spannt
Spiu uf dere Saite es Lied
Vom Wätterhahn, wo chräiet:
"Nachem Wind richti mi nie, nie, nie"
Nei wesech ds Seili spannt
Spiu uf dere Saite es Lied
Vom Wätterhahn, wo chräiet:
"Nachem Wind richti mi nie"
U fahri mit de Händ dene Wänd entlang
Nimmts chli mi u nimmts chli Sand
Weiss chum, Bärn i bi
I weiss chum, Bärni bi
Di Stadt, di schlyft mi langsam ab
U scho gli bini nümm da
Weiss chum, Bärn i bi
I weiss chum, Bärni bi (Nei i weiss chum)
U fahri mit de Händ dene Wänd entlang
Nimmts chli mi u nimmts chli Sand
Weiss chum, Bärn i bi
I weiss chum, Bärni bi
Di Stadt, di schlyft mi langsam ab
U scho gli bini nümm da
Weiss chum, Bärn i bi
I weiss chum, Bärni bi
Und i hange ah dere Stadt
I luege scho lang di Gasse z'dürab
Bärn, du bisch mi Henker
Bärn, du bisch di Henker
U glych hangeni ah dir
Glych hangeni ah dir

Executioner

Bern, you are my executioner
Regardless of what I think of you
Executioner, you must hurry
Time does not work in vain
The longer I work here
The more we become like each other
The more I resemble the walls
The old city is a valley of shadows
The cathedral is the scaffold
And the Aare River is the noose around my neck
And when the rope is taut
I will pluck a song from the string
From the weathercock that crows:
"I never, never, never heed the wind"
No, when the rope is taut
I will pluck a song from the string
From the weathercock that crows:
"I never heed the wind"
And I will run my hands along these walls
Taking a little of me and a little sand
I barely know Bern
I barely know Bern
Your city is slowly grinding me down
And soon I will be gone
I barely know Bern
I barely know Bern
Executioner, you must hurry
Come, put the noose around my neck
And they have twisted the rope for me
From the hemp I have sown
I can see it in my eyes, I must go soon
Because time does not work in vain
And the longer I work here
The less of me remains
I am already slipping through your fingers
No, I do not have much time left
Please, cast me out now
Otherwise, only sand will remain of me
And when the rope is taut
I will pluck a song from the string
From the weathercock that crows:
"I never, never, never heed the wind"
No, when the rope is taut
I will pluck a song from the string
From the weathercock that crows:
"I never heed the wind"
And I will run my hands along these walls
Taking a little of me and a little sand
I barely know Bern
I barely know Bern
Your city is slowly grinding me down
And soon I will be gone
I barely know Bern
I barely know Bern (No, I barely know)
And I will run my hands along these walls
Taking a little of me and a little sand
I barely know Bern
I barely know Bern
Your city is slowly grinding me down
And soon I will be gone
I barely know Bern
I barely know Bern
And I am hanging on to this city
I have been looking down the streets for a long time
Bern, you are my executioner
Bern, you are my executioner
And soon I will be hanging from you
Soon I will be hanging from you
