tropfeln im meer
drop in the sea
Wann i nimmer weiter woaß im Durchanand
Von Leb'n und Lust und Leid und Werd'n und Sterb'n,
Nimm i mi auf'd Nacht selber bei der Hand,
Lass mi fall'n und schaug in d' Stern.
Wia's da blinkt und blitzt und blüht am Himmelszelt,
Werd mei Herz auf oamoi wieder froh.
So unendlich weit ist doch die ganze Welt,
No vui weiter als i denka ko.
Und i werd ganz kloa,
Kumm ma winzig vor,
Fast als gabat's mi
Nimmer mehr.
Und i schenk mi her,
Bin ois und neamands mehr,
Nur a Tropferl
Im Meer.
When I never knew any further in the mess
Of life and lust and suffering and becoming and dying,
I'll take my hand myself at night,
Let me fall and look at the star.
How it flashes and flashes and blooms in the sky,
My heart will be happy again on oamoi.
The whole world is so infinitely wide,
No vui further than i denka ko.
And I'm going all kloa
Come on, tiny
Almost as gabat's mi
never more
And I give me
Am ois and neamands more,
Just a drop
in the sea
And I'm going all kloa
Come on, tiny
Almost as gabat's mi
never more
And I give me
Am ois and neamands more,
Just a drop
in the sea
Piazza Grande
grand plazza
Saints who pay for my lunch there is none
Santi che pagano il mio pranzo non ce n'è
On the benches in Piazza Grande
Sulle panchine in Piazza Grande
But when I'm hungry for merchants like me
Ma quando ho fame di mercanti come me
There is none here
Qui non ce n'è
I sleep on the grass and have many friends around me
Dormo sull'erba e ho molti amici intorno a me
Lovers in Piazza Grande
Gli innamorati in Piazza Grande
I know everything about their troubles, their loves
Dei loro guai, dei loro amori tutto so
Wrong and no
Sbagliati e no
My way
A modo mio
I need caresses too
Avrei bisogno di carezze anch'io
My way
A modo mio
I need to dream too
Avrei bisogno di sognare anch'io
I don't have a real family
Una famiglia vera e propria non ce l'ho
And my home is Piazza Grande
E la mia casa è Piazza Grande
To those who believe me I take love and give love
A chi mi crede prendo amore e amore do
How much do I have
Quanto ne ho
With me there are no generous women
Con me di donne generose non ce n'è
I steal love in Piazza Grande
Rubo l'amore in Piazza Grande
And thank goodness for brigands like me
E meno male che briganti come me
There is none here
Qui non ce n'è
My way
A modo mio
I need caresses too
Avrei bisogno di carezze anch'io
I need to pray to God
Avrei bisogno di pregare Dio
But I will never ever change my life
Ma la mia vita non la cambierò mai mai
My way
A modo mio
What I am I wanted
Quel che sono l'ho voluto io
White sheets to cover us I don't have any
Lenzuola bianche per coprirci non ne ho
Under the stars in Piazza Grande
Sotto le stelle in Piazza Grande
And if life has no dreams, I have them
E se la vita non ha sogni io li ho
And I give them to you
E te li do
And if there are no more people like me
E se non ci sarà più gente come me
I want to die in Piazza Grande
Voglio morire in Piazza Grande
Among the cats that have no master like me
Tra i gatti che non han padrone come me
Around me
Attorno a me
liebeslied im alten stil
lovesong in old stile
Lyrics
Come on, my love, we'll let each other
Komm, mein Lieb, wir lassen uns
Drift down the river
Den Fluss hinuntertreiben
Nobody knows where this is all leading
Keiner weiß, wohin das Ganze führt
It doesn't matter how we stay together afterwards
Ganz egal, wie wir hernach zusammen bleiben
The main thing is that we felt each other
Hauptsache, wir haben uns gespürt
What a feeling
Was für ein Gefühl
Deeper than the sea
Tiefer als das Meer
Just how deep is the sea?
Nur wie tief ist das Meer?
What a feeling
Was für ein Gefühl
Deeper than the sea
Tiefer als das Meer
Just how deep, how deep is the sea?
Nur wie tief, wie tief ist das Meer?
Come on, my love, we'll let each other
Komm, mein Lieb, wir lassen uns
Drift down the river
Den Fluss hinuntertreiben
Do it the way it used to be
Tun mal wieder so, wie's früher war
Waves gently beat and rise from the meadows
Wellen schlagen sanft, und aus den Wiesen steigen
They say, white fog, wonderful
Sagt man, weiße Nebel, wunderbar
What a feeling
Was für ein Gefühl
Deeper than the sea
Tiefer als das Meer
Just how deep is the sea?
Nur wie tief ist das Meer?
What a feeling
Was für ein Gefühl
Deeper than the sea
Tiefer als das Meer
Just how deep, how deep is the sea?
Nur wie tief, wie tief ist das Meer?
Come on, my love, we'll let each other
Komm, mein Lieb, wir lassen uns
Drift down the river
Den Fluss hinuntertreiben
Discard everything that restricts us
Legen alles ab, was uns beengt
What a ride, the earth is steaming
Was für eine Fahrt, die Erde dampft
The drums are silent
Die Trommeln schweigen
Only this will that pushes us
Nur noch dieses Wollen, das uns drängt
Oh what a feeling
Oh, was für ein Gefühl
Deeper than the sea
Tiefer als das Meer
Just how deep is the sea?
Nur wie tief ist das Meer?
What a feeling
Was für ein Gefühl
Deeper than the sea
Tiefer als das Meer
Just how deep, how deep is the sea?
Nur wie tief, wie tief ist das Meer?
Come on, my love, we'll let each other
Komm, mein Lieb, wir lassen uns
Drift down the river
Den Fluss hinuntertreiben
Let's be terribly unreasonable
Lass uns schrecklich unvernünftig sein
And instead of looking at the fears
Und anstatt uns an den Ängsten
Finally break up
Endlich aufzureiben
Let's penetrate infinitely inside ourselves, oh, oh
Dringen wir unendlich in uns ein, oh, oh
What a feeling
Was für ein Gefühl
Deeper than the sea
Tiefer als das Meer
Just how deep is the sea?
Nur wie tief ist das Meer?
What a feeling
Was für ein Gefühl
Deeper than the sea
Tiefer als das Meer
Just how deep, how deep is the sea?
Nur wie tief, wie tief ist das Meer?
Oh what a feeling
Oh, was für ein Gefühl
Deeper than the sea
Tiefer als das Meer
Just how deep is the sea?
Nur wie tief ist das Meer?
What a feeling
Was für ein Gefühl
Deeper than the sea
Tiefer als das Meer
Just how deep, how deep is the sea?
Nur wie tief, wie tief ist das Meer?
