Ming Stadt (The Town I Loved) [Live @ Kölner Philharmonie, Germany / 1994]

Et jov en Zick, an die denk ich jän zoröck En dä Stadt, die ich en jot jekannt, en dä ahle Schull hatte mer uns off en der Woll, un em Schwemmbad holte mer uns Sonnenbrand. Mer han em Büdche jestritz,sin jerannt wie der Blitz, un trofen uns dann bei uns om Plätzje da hammer Fußball jespillt, woren off janz schön wild en dä Stadt, die ich ens jod kannt. There was music there, in the Derry air, Like a Language that we could all understand, I remember the day that I earned my first pay, When I played in a small pick-up band. There I spent my youth, and to tell you the truth I was sad to leave it all behind me. For I learned about life an I found me a wife, In the Town, that I love so well. Ming Kindheit verjing vell ze flock Jo die Uhr drieht sich nit zoröck En dä Stadt die ich ens jot jekannt. M'r süht kaum noch Pänz mih do Wo su vill Platz zom Spille ens wor Dä Park es jetz e Stöck vun ner jroße Stroß. For what's done is done, and what's won is won, And what's lost is lost and gone forever, I can only pray for a bright brand new day, In the town that I love so well Wohin ich och jon, su vill Jrön woot zo Beton For what's done is done, and what's won is won, Un de Hüser klemme immer hüher And what's lost is lost and gone forever I can only pray for a bright brand new day, In the town that I love so well
