Zwischen uns

Post by joel » April 14th, 2006, 9:52 pm

Zwischen uns, gibt’s ein’ Mauer—
Du, ein neues Paradies,
ich, ein neuer Bauer.

Wie schön, steinlose Aue—
aber häßliche Mauer,
die ich aus Steinen baue
(zwischen uns, Neues Paradies,
und ich, dein neuer Bauer).

between us, there's a wall --
you, a new paradise,
i, a new farmer

how beautiful, stone-less pasture --
but ugly the wall
i build from stones
(between us, new paradise,
and me, your new farmer)

Ah, sweet translation.

The thing about a rocky field
you can nit pick it clean
erect a wall from all that stone
and voila
sit in the center
solitary
all alone
just don't forget the gate
gotta build a gate
to let paradise walk in
freely
I used to walk with my head in the clouds but I kept getting struck by lightning!
Now my head twitches and I drool alot. Anonymouse
