Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ding Wöder maache mich verröck.
An dir, do es jet, dat löß mich nit mieh loß.
Ich jläuv, ich bliev he
Janz ejal wat et kost.
Du bes Lääve, dat, dat is wat ich bruch.
Un du mäs Trabbel, manchmol bruch mer dat och.
Su wie en Insel em deefe blaue Meer,
Ich kumm immer widder her
Un han ich kei Boot -
Dann schwemm ich zo dir.
Du bes - wat mie Hätz am kloppe hält.
Du bes - wat mich warm hält in d′r Kält.
Ne Kuß - un süns janix op d'r Welt,
Dat is alles, wat ich well.
Du saß: Et is nit vill dobei.
Ich hoff′; Mer kriejen et op de Reih.
Et is einfach ne Wäch allein zo jon,
Vill schwerer is et zoeinander zo ston.
Loß uns d'r Wäch zosamme jon.
Du bes - wat mie Hätz am kloppe hält.
Du bes - wat mich warm hält in d'r Kält.
Ne Kuß - un süns janix op d′r Welt,
Dat is alles, wat ich well.
Wie ne Wurm in singer Äd,
Dä eruß kütt wann et ränt.
Wie ne Fesch in singem Floß,
Keine Anfang, keine Schloß.
Denn wat ich zum Lääve bruch,
Dat bruchs du och.
Du bes - wat mie Hätz am kloppe hält.
Du bes - wat mich warm hält in d′r Kält.
Ne Kuß - un süns janix op d'r Welt,
Dat is alles, wat ich well.
Un ich weiß, dat is nit vill.
Uhu, ich weiß dat is nit vill.
