ich ben dini gitarr [English translation follows]
ich ben d'wies vun dine nintzehn jahr
ich ben dini gitarr
ich ben d'wies vun dine nintzehn jahr
heerscht de akoord en moll
wie metall siede un holtz
metall wie siede, siede wie metall
und warmes dunkles holtz
ich ben dini gitarr
ich ben d'wies vun dine nintzehn jahr
brün leiyet d'sunn uff minere hüt
griyen leiyet die weyer en mim bleck
wis steht e berike vor minere dür
ich ben d'wies vun dine nintzehn jahr
ich ben dini gitarr . . . .
d'wisse berike füle uffm stock
d'brün sunne han de rotschin
d'grieyene wasser sen vergeft
un nix mehr esch gebleve vun uns
als e gitarr....
I am your guitar
I am the tune of your nineteen years
I am your guitar
I am the song of your nineteen years
listen to the chord in minor mode
like metal silk and wood
metal like silk, silk like metal
and warm, dark wood
I am your guitar
I am the song of your nineteen years
the sun colours my skin brown
the pool colours my eyes green
the birch tree stands white before my door
I am the tune of your nineteen years
I am your guitar
The white birch rots where it stands
The brown sun is red and dying
The green waters are poisoned
And nothing is left of us
But a guitar...
