Bonanza
Ralf Paulsen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ein sich'rer Colt ist so gut wie Gold, Bonanza!
Nдchtelang die Trommel sang die Lieder der Prдrie.
Unser Recht ist gutes Recht, Bonanza!
Und unser Land ist gutes Land, das verlдsst man nie.

Tag fьr Tag, Nacht fьr Nacht, kдmpfend Hand in Hand,
Tag fьr Tag, Nacht fьr Nacht, bauten sie das Land.
Als das Land ein freies Land, Bonanza!
kamen sie durch die Prдrie, tausend und noch mehr.
Der Tag war lang, bis man uns bezwang, Bonanza!
Es begann mit tausend Mann, es kamen immer mehr.
Unser Recht ist gutes Recht, Bonanza!
Und unser Land ist gutes Land, wir liebten es so sehr!

Tag fьr Tag...

Der Abend winkt, die Sonne sinkt, Bonanza!
Sonnenlicht, das sehn wir nicht, das sehn wir nimmermehr.




Der Abend winkt, die Sonne sinkt, Bonanza!
Sonnenlicht, das sehn wir nicht, das sehn wir nimmermehr.
