| Die Toten Hosen – Die 10 Gebote Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
As usual, my translation: Once upon a time, god declared: I am the one and only master I won't tolerate any other gods You shalt worship me and nobody else Don't say my name for no reason at all Crucify yourself six days, stay at home at day seven I created heaven and earth and the sea, Once a week you shalt thank me for that Honour thy parents, so you will live long In this country given by the Lord! Thou shalt not kill and thou shalt not steal And thou shalt not cheat your wife Thou shalt not lie and tell wrong things Chose a faithful and righteous path in life: Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife or house Nor anything that is the neighbor's. If I were you, dear Lord, And you were me, dear Lord Do you think, I would be that severe with you? If I were you, dear Lord, And you were me, dear Lord Would you obey the commandments, Just because of me? God was desperate as he had seen, his children failed every day again. He sent us his son for salvation But he died in vain, because nothing changed. And every warning, every threat that came from heaven Went unheard by the Lambs of God. And everyday we fail again and again... And everyday we fail again and again... If I were you, dear Lord, And you were me, dear Lord Do you think, I would be that severe with you? If I were you, dear Lord, And you were me, dear Lord Would you obey the commandments, Just because of me? |

| Die Aerzte – Deine Schuld Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
My translation: Were you annoyed, did you have a shitty day? Did you ask yourself again, why nobody takes action? You don't have to accept things you don't like At least if you use your head for more than wearing hats It is not your fault that the world is as it is It would be your fault if it stays the way it is It is not your fault that the world is as it is It would be your fault if it stays the way it is Don't believe the ones telling you that you can't change anything Those people are scared of change Those are the people, claiming everything is good the way it is And when you want to change something, you are automatically a terrorist It is not your fault that the world is as it is It would be your fault if it stays the way it is It is not your fault that the world is as it is It would be your fault if it stays the way it is Because everyone, who does not want to change the world, signs its death warrant "Let's debate, because in our lovely country everyone is theoretically really tolerant. Words do not achieve anything, words do not hurt no one So let's talk about it, discussions are okay." No - take to the streets again, object once again Cause everybody tired of fighting is bound to lose! The ones that mess around with you did you elect yourself So let them hear your voice, because every vote counts It is not your fault that the world is as it is It would be your fault if it stays the way it is It is not your fault that the world is as it is It would be your fault if it stays the way it is Hope I did not mess up! |

| Die Aerzte – Westerland Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
The lyrics here are not the original lyrics. Die Ärzte often change their lyrics during concert, and the version we have here is probably from "Das Beste von kurz nach früher bis jetzte". In the classical version, the song starts with "Jeden Tag sitz' ich am Wannsee...". Now, here's my translation. I'm trying to catch the meaning of the song, rather than to translate it word by word. We've been there the other day the Greenpeace guys were right 'cause the sea smelled quite bad and we felt pretty sick When will this island be blasted? When will Sylt* be dumped at sea? Oh, my desire I am losing my mind I want to get back to the North Sea Back to Westerland** Every day, I am sitting at the Wannsee*** And listening to the waves And I am lying on my towel And I am not able to to find any peace of mind This One True Love Will never find an end When will we meet again? Sometimes, I close my eyes I imagine myself sitting by the sea Then I think of that island And my heart gets so heavy This One True Love Will never find an end When will we meet again? Oh, my desire I am losing my mind I want to get back to the North Sea Back to Westerland How many times did I stand on the waterfront? How many times did I jump into the Spree****? How many times did they have to save me from drowning? This One True Love Will never find an end When will we meet again? Oh, my desire I am losing my mind I want to get back to the North Sea Back to Westerland It may be a bit expensive But you are among yourselves And I know every other guy here Is as stupid as I am Oh, my desire I am losing my mind I want to get back to the North Sea Back to Westerland * An island in the North Sea, known for expensive health resorts and long beaches. Westerland is a part of Sylt. ** As mentioned above, a part of Sylt. *** A big lake in Berlin **** A river in Berlin Hope I did not mess it up that bad ;) |
