Mani Matter Ds Nünitram translation
Gester zNacht hets Nüünitram statt hei is Depot zgah
Yesterday night, instead of going to the tram depot, the number 9 tram.
plötzlich, niemer weiss warum, sis Schinegleis verlah
Suddenly, nobody knows why, left the tracks
isch zum Himmel ufe gflogge und dert nadina
And flew up to the sky and gradually.
i der Nacht verschwunde ohne Spure zhinderlah
Disappeared in the night without leaving any traces.
Siebe Hünd hend kläglich goulet, grad wo das isch gscheh
Seven dogs were barking as that happened.
und e chalte Windstoss isch dört Mobischualee
And a cold breeze blew through the MonbijouStrasse (Street in Bern, Switzerland).
und shet en Bedrunknige wos als einzige het gseh
And a drunk person, who was the only one to have seen it
dör die leere Strasse brüelet oh herrjemine
Screamed in the streets " oh my god"
Das het em ne Polizischt wo dert zur Stell isch gsie
So a policeman who was there,
Hühenerhut igjagd das er es Ei het gleit derbi
Got the goospumps and laid an egg
und e Frou het denkt wie nützlich doch die Tschuger sii
And a woman thought, how useful these cops are
hets Ei gno und s prätlet bis es Stiereoug isch gsie
Took the egg, and fried it until it turned into a Bulle's eye.
Doch de Stier isch us der Pfanne grisplet und dervo
However the bull climbed out of the frying pan
d'Frou afah brüele und es het der Mordio
The woman started to scream and there was a lot of noise.
bis der Stier sich in es Tram verwandlet het und so
Until the bulle transformed into a tram waggon and
uf de Gleis isch wiider gfahre gäge zTramdepot
On the tracks drove back to the tram depot.
Druf Ischs wider stiller worde und denn schliesslich Ruhe
After that the noise died down untill it was silent again
Ds Nüünitram isch hine ume Rank ufs Depot zue
The Number 9 tramway went around the corner towards the tram depot
Eine het no grüeft i pfuuse blased mir id Schuhe
Someone was shouting "I am sleeping , I don't care""
und ihr heit jitz sicher alli vo mim Gschichtli gnue
And surely you have heard enoguh about this story.
