Fredrik Vahle - Der Rattenfänger von Hameln dalszöveg fordítás angol nyelvre

Translation

The Pied Piper of Hamelin

In coloured rags a minstrel went up a sandy way, long ago
And rested under an apple tree, beginning to play his pipe softly
And then he played louder – his tune could be heard through the quiet country
Across fields and acres to the wood it was carried by the wind
Hearing this the countryfolks dropped their scythes and came to him
With open eyes and open mouths they wondered at the stranger
„Oh God, how well he plays! How long he plays! Such a wonderful sound!“

They gave sausages and bread to the minstrel before he went on his way
To Hamelin, the beautiful town at the the Weser, which was in trouble.
In Hamlin the rats scurried, there were rats in every place
They ate poor people‘s last piece of bread and the candles in the townhall
But the guards at the gates didn‘t let him in: „We don‘t need scum like you!“
And when he didn‘t go away they seized him and bet him in the face.
„He is poor, he is a stranger, he should better run away!“

The people of Hamelin prayed to the Lord but the Lord didn‘t react
Even the mayor lost weight and with a pale face he spoke:
„He who succeeds to free Hamelin from the rats with God‘s (or any other‘s) help
Will get a hundred pieces of gold and shall be granted citizenship.“
The minstrel at the town‘s gate heard it and said: „I am the man
Who can free the town from its scourge for that reward.
I whistle fine, I whistle long, it‘s a wonderful sound.“

He went through the narrow streets before dawn and played a high note
A sound which the rats heard and they followed him at once
He swam through the river Weser and the rats drowned by following him blindly
And ever since that day no more rat was seen in Hamlin
„Oh Mayor, the town is free so reward me now.“
But the mayor laughed:“Get it from the devil!
You are poor, you are a stranger, you better run.“

The minstrel went away, jaundiced and poor. Only the town‘s children
Went on telling how the mayor betrayed the minstrel.
But the man returned on the day of St John‘s and Paul, as a hunter with a red hat
Played the pipe, the children listened, these sounds they understood well
They tiptoed out of the narrow houses
With the sweet sound in their ears, they didn‘t want to go home again.
Hark, how sweet he plays and how long he plays, it‘s a wonderful sound!“

They complained to the pied piper about their bitter lot and fearfully and pale
They said:“We always have to obey, otherwise we are beaten so badly.
The rooms are dark an narrow and many children in this town
Are lucky if there‘s a bed of straw and a little to eat.“
At this point the stranger talked of a distant land
Where no child cries of fear and of cold, where everyone can be happy.
He talked fine, he talked long and the children beleived him.

Then they all moved away from the town, with the piper whistling so fine
They went out to the mountain and soon were no longer to see
They searched and searched and couldn‘t find, the distant promised land
And finally told their own children:“We take matters into our own hands now“
And since then they are working on a better world against war and mysery
Where no child needs to be hungry ans sad as the piper once promised
He whistled fine, he whistle long, it was a wonderful sound.

The door across the street from my home

As I walk out the door, Sophie calls me
'Do you already know the news? She's leaving.'
I rush to the window,
Look down the street
And I can't believe my eyes:
A big limousine is leaving, and she's the one driving it

I don't know what she's looking for and why she's leaving,
I don't know where she's going, and I don't want to know.
I've been living across from Alice's door for eighteen years,
Eighteen years waiting for another chance to tell her that I love her
But now I'll have
To get out of the habit of living across from Alice's door...

At the university, in the park, we would discuss philosophy
I had my arm around her as a friend...
She had long hair, and in the wood of a boat
I had carved our initials for life
And today, the big limousine is here to take her away...

I don't know what she's looking for and why she's leaving,
I don't know where she's going, and I don't want to know.
I've been living across from Alice's door for eighteen years
Eighteen years waiting for another chance to tell her that I love her
But now I'll have
To get out of the habit of living across from Alice's door...

Sophie calls me back, tells me that she too has been waiting for this moment for eighteen years,
That she loves me, that she only lives for me, that I will forget Alice
But I don't hear her,
It's Alice that I want,
And the big limousine disappears...

I don't know what she's looking for and why she's leaving,
I don't know where she's going
And I don't want to know. I've been living across from Alice's door for eighteen years
Eighteen years waiting for another chance to tell her that I love her
But now I'll have
To get out of the habit of living across from Alice's door...

Synergia - זהות אחרת (Zehut Akheret) dalszöveg fordítás angol nyelvre

Different Identity

I told, I told myself
I thought of changing my identity
Maybe this time I'll know not to give up
I'm imagining how I'd be a different person

And she asks if you've always been there
And every time you know to reply (to what I can't say)
She sees in me the things she searched for
She believed it was what she needed
But who she sees is not me

I promised myself, that I'd deal with everything (everything)
Even during nice moments, I want to say I can't,
I tried everything!

I lied, I enjoyed not being
I created a world of illusions

To this world I always belong,
With fake people who I won't forget,
In a world that's a little superficial, I'm not alone!

I promised myself, that I'd deal with everything (everything)
Even during nice moments, I want to say I can't,
I tried everything!

I promised myself, that I'd deal with everything (everything)
Even during nice moments, I want to say I can't,
I tried everything!

I was gonna leave you today

Soon I won't remember anymore
How it feels like
When you fall asleep within your smell
I wouldn't remember even
How your face changes
When I call you 'pigeon, pigeon'
And you reply 'pigeon, pigeon'

I was gonna leave you today
I'm still here but I won't stay
The words frozen inside of me
You still don't know

Soon I'd be on the other side of this town
I'd wish that we'll never meet again
Your new love
And your new faces
They'd hurt me, ouch ouch
It hurts, ouch ouch

I was gonna leave you today
I'm still here but I won't stay
The words frozen inside of me
You still don't know
You still don't know
I was gonna leave you today
I'm still here but I won't stay
The words frozen inside of me
You still don't know
I was gonna leave you today

Lie to me, lie to me

I am pulling out wounds and tattoos
I am black, I know man, so please do not lie to me.
We were not brave and we are not young anymore.
I am afraid of home immigrants

Lie to me, lie me
Until the first snow falls.
Make me an addict, make me an addict
and then cure me, and then cure me.
