Текст и перевод песни Polo Hofer & Die Schmetterband - In Memphis

In Memphis

Ha mini beschte Schueh agleit
Bi iigschtige ine Jet
Aacho im Land vom Deltablues
Bi glandet wo′s gad grägnet het

Es Bild vom Otis Redding het oben abe gluegt uf mi
Ha zwar es Erschtklassbillett gha
Aber s'isch mer glich echly komisch gsii

U jetz bin i in Memphis
Es isch als wäri irgendwie amne Ziel
I bi in Memphis
Un es isch es unbeschriblechs Gfüehl

I ha dr Geischt vom Elvis gseh
Uf de Union Avenue
Bin ihm nache bis nach Graceland
Bim Iigang louft är eifach zue

D′Wachmannschaft hed gar nüt gmerkt
Hett sich versammlet a sim Grab
Und es hübsches, blonds Ding
Sehnt sich nach em King, schteit da u wartet ab

Un i bi in Memphis
Es isch als wäri irgendwie amne Ziel
I bi in Memphis
Un i weiss no nid öbs mir da gfiel

Si hei Hummer uf de Tische
Hei Gospel am Radio
Dr Pfarrer Green de hilft dr gärn
Wenn d'wosch cho bätte, oder so
S'git geng öppis z′bätte in Memphis

Und d′Miss Muriel schpilt di Orgle
Am Fritig im Hollywood Café
Si hei mi mitgno für gah z'lose
Hei mir gseit, si würdes gärn gseh

Wenn i öppis chönnt singe
Da han i gsunge so guet i cha
Da fragt si: Säg bisch du ou e Chrischt?
I säge: Hütt am Aabe ja!

Es isch halt so in Memphis
Es isch als wäri irgendwie amne Ziel
I bi in Memphis
Aber i weiss nid öbs mir da gfiel

I bi in Memphis
Es isch als wäri irgendwie amne Ziel
I bi in Memphis
Un es isch es unbeschriblechs Gfüehl

Ha mini beschte Schueh agleit
Bi iigschtige i Linie Jet
Aacho im Land vom Deltablues
Bi glandet wos gad grägnet het

Aacho im Land, vom Deltablues
Wos grad i Ströme grägnet hett

In Memphis

Put on my best shoes
As I boarded the jet
Heading to the land of the Delta Blues
Disembarking as rain poured down

Otis Redding's portrait smiled down on me
Though I had a first-class ticket
It still felt a little strange to me

And now I'm in Memphis
It's like I've finally reached my destination
I'm in Memphis
And it's an indescribable feeling

I saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
I followed him to Graceland
Where he simply walked through the gates

The security guards didn't notice a thing
As they gathered around his grave
And a pretty blonde girl
Waited for the King, her heart full of love

And I'm in Memphis
It's like I've finally reached my destination
I'm in Memphis
And I'm not sure if I like it here

They have catfish on their tables
Gospel music on the radio
Reverend Green will help you out
If you need to pray, or something
There's always something to pray for in Memphis

And Miss Muriel plays the organ
On Fridays at the Hollywood Café
They took me there to hear her play
They said she'd love to hear me sing

If I knew how
So I sang as best I could
And she asked me: Are you a Christian, too?
I said: Yes, tonight I am!

That's just how it is in Memphis
It's like I've finally reached my destination
I'm in Memphis
But I'm not sure if I like it here

I'm in Memphis
It's like I've finally reached my destination
I'm in Memphis
And it's an indescribable feeling

Put on my best shoes
As I boarded the jet
Heading to the land of the Delta Blues
Disembarking as rain poured down

Disembarking in the land of the Delta Blues
Where rain fell in torrents
