Mani Matter ds Lied vo de Bahnhöf translation
Das isch ds lied
That is the song
vo de bahnhöf wo dr zug
Of the train stations, where the train
geng scho abgfahren isch
Has just left
oder no nid isch cho
Or not yet arrived
und es stöh
And the're standing
lüt im rägemantel dert und tue warte
Peoplei in raincoats, and waiting
Und ds gepäck
And the baggage
hei si abgstellt und zwöi chind
Put down on the ground, two childern
luegen am outomat
Checking the selling machine
ob nid doch dert no meh
Whether soemthing extra
usechöm
Is ejected
als die caramel wo si
More than the caramel sweets
scho hei gässe
Which they have already have eaten
Und dr bahnhofvorstand telepfoniert
And the station supervisor is on th phone
d'mütze hanget ar wand
His cap is hanging on the wall
und im wartsaal isch gheizt
The waiting room is heated
sitzt e ma
A man is sitting in there
won e stumpe roukt wo stinkt
Smoking a cigar, that stinks
und list ds amtsblatt
Reading the official gazette
Mängisch lütet
Sometimes, the sound of a
e gloggen und en ar-
Bell and a worker
beiter mit schwarze händ
With dirty (black) hands
stellt e weiche me weis
Changes track directions
nid für was
Nobody knows why
dänk für d'güeterwäge wo
Probably for the boxcars
vor em Schopf stöh
Which are in front of the barn
Und dr bahnhofvorstand
And the station supervisor
leit d'mützen a
Puts on his cap
s'fahrt e schnällzug verby
A fast train, passes through
und es luftet no gäng
And the airstream is still there
waretdäm
As
dass dr vorstand scho sy huet
The station supervisor
wider abziet
Takes off his cap
Das isch ds lied
That is the song
vo de bahnhöf wo dr zug
Of the train stations, where the train
geng scho abgfahren isch
Has just left
oder no nid isch cho
Or not yet arrived
