Текст и перевод песни Wolfgang Niedecken - Paar Daach fröher

Paar Daach fröher

Die Schwalve sinn widder op heim ahn ahm fleeje
Ich stonn am Balkon un luhr inne noh
Stell mir Marokko vüür, wie jedesmohl
Wie jed Johr un dräum ich wöhr do

Die Daach weede kööter un länger die Näächte
Noch joot ene Mohnd, bess et naahx widder friert
Op eimohl weed mir kloor, 'n dat woor noch nie do:
Will nit met dissmohl, dat litt wohl ahn dir

Do, wo du bess, ess dä Nabel der Welt
Weiß jetz, wat mir all die Johre jefählt
Dieh Häzz ess 'ne Nümaat, ding Kralle sinn spetz
Un wenn ich falle, dann bess du mieh Netz
Dich halt ich fess, dich loss ich nit mieh loss
Do, wo du bess, benn ich endlich zohuss
Hätt ich dat bloß paar Daach früher jewoss!

Zochvüjel losse sich nit irritiere
Die spüre, wo't langjeht, dat hann die em Bloot
Richtung Nordafrika wöhr wunderbar
Leis hann ich dä Lockroof jehoot
Dä Lockroof jehoot

Do, wo du bess, ess dä Nabel der Welt
Weiß jetz, wat mir all die Johre jefählt
Dieh Häzz ess 'ne Nümaat, ding Kralle sinn spetz
Un wenn ich falle, dann bess du mieh Netz
Dich halt ich fess, dich loss ich nit mieh loss
Do, wo du bess, benn ich endlich zohuss
Hätt ich dat bloß paar Daach früher jewoss!

Do, wo du bess, ess dä Nabel der Welt
Weiß jetz, wat mir all die Johre jefählt
Dieh Häzz ess 'ne Nümaat, ding Kralle sinn spetz
Un wenn ich falle, dann bess du mieh Netz
Dich halt ich fess, dich loss ich nit mieh loss
Do, wo du bess, benn ich endlich zohuss
Hätt ich dat bloß paar Daach früher jewoss!
Hätt ich dat bloß paar Daach früher jewoss!

A Few Days Earlier

The swallows are flying home again
I stand on the balcony and watch them
Picture Morocco, like I always do
Like every year, I dream I was there

The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer
Just one more month until it gets cold again
Suddenly it dawns on me, this has never happened before:
I don't want to go this time, it's probably because of you

Where you are, is the center of the world
I know now what I've been missing all these years
Your heart is a magnet, your claws are sharp
And if I fall, you'll be my net
I'll hold you tight, I'll never let you go
Where you are, I'm finally home
If only I had known a few days earlier!

Migratory birds are not easily fooled
They feel where it's going, it's in their blood
Heading for North Africa would be wonderful
I've been hearing the call softly
I've been hearing the call

Where you are, is the center of the world
I know now what I've been missing all these years
Your heart is a magnet, your claws are sharp
And if I fall, you'll be my net
I'll hold you tight, I'll never let you go
Where you are, I'm finally home
If only I had known a few days earlier!

Where you are, is the center of the world
I know now what I've been missing all these years
Your heart is a magnet, your claws are sharp
And if I fall, you'll be my net
I'll hold you tight, I'll never let you go
Where you are, I'm finally home
If only I had known a few days earlier!
If only I had known a few days earlier!
