DERWEIL 2

Showtime

they're coming, they're running
families with children
relatives, friends
come here, come here everyone

behind me cool music is playing
and things are going crazy
i don't need to do much myself
just put myself up front and look
this is where it's at, the smoke is rising
isn't this rock 'n' roll
aren't we all back where we
want to be?

tobagans naga
japanese cubans
nilotes scots
burmese chinese
cretans tibetans
catholics triplets

hey, please give me more of this music
hey, it can get much louder than this
more people should get going in their houses
i just wanna hear the backbeat
we're not in church; what's happening?
hey come on now, this is rock & roll
doesn't everybody in this world
have just what they always wanted here?

parisians walliser
ladins berliners
afghans teutons
fleming saami
kirghiz frisian
shi'ites sunnis
yeniche danes
bohemians romans
muftis goths
warm poor
thin fat

Auseinandertreiben (Drifting Apart)

tell me, tell me we're continuing
everyone is asking, asking me
everyone's saying, saying what
can't be right

ever since I've been thinking, thinking that you're lying
ever since I've been thinking that you like someone else
i haven't known if I'm coming or going
and I just can't sleep
everyone's talking, talking about it
they've seen you with another man
and I don't want to know [the details]
just to talk about it

look at me, look deep into my eyes and then
tell me if it's true
because carrying on sadly makes no sense, but
i don't want to live this way
without you

no me damané
please don't ask me

meant for each other - we are
living separate lives - we are
attracted to each other - we are
clinging together - we are
in love together - we are
talking against each other - we are
getting at each other - we are
drifting apart - we are

there's a time when everything happens by itself
there's a time when you can ask
there's a time when everyone says the same thing
there's a time to agree
there's a time when you're just no smarter
there's a time when there are lies
there's a time when you can only fight with everyone
there's a time when they chase you away

Regen (Rain)

Once upon a time
Is how most stories begin
But there are stories that have never happened
Or at least which nobody can remember
Like the story I want to tell you
But of course every story is at least a feeling
Of what once was
Even when it is not so

Like water am I
I just run and run
Rain come, rain goes
Nobody knows and nobody understands

Only if you are particular does fantasy count
Just as much as you and me
Because the moment you think of something
Something has happened
That's why it makes sense - when you think
To channel your thoughts
To where it pleases you, where it's beautiful
To where you are happy
Not stressful and strange, nothing sad and terrible
While outside it rains like never before

Weather is like love
You must take what comes and wait to see what will come of it
The way I waited for you, without knowing for what or whom I was waiting
In fact I didn't even know I was waiting
I just thought that something would happen sometime
At some point the rain stops
At some point the sun returns
Along comes something
Or somebody

Water runs, water runs...

Die Liab (Love)

where are my feet taking me - mhm?
what do I see when I shut my eyes - mhm?
do I then look into yours - mhm?
can I then be with you - mhm?

love, love gives no peace
and every day it wants more
and because it does me such good
i can't fight it

will I find myself when I find you - mhm?
am I with myself when I'm with you - mhm?
are all your thoughts with me
as mine are always with you
i know that we belong together
and want to see you again soon

love, love gives no peace
and every day it wants more
and because it does us such good
we can't fight it

love, love is wonderful
and every day it grows
and as it once smiled on me
i could only see stars

why is the whole day - mhm?
not the way I like it best with you - mhm?
why are you so far from me today?

Herschaun (Looking)

Can I, do I want to, may I, should I or must I
Look - just look?
But I don't see what I don't want to see
When I look - don't look!

If I thought I was missing something
Then I'd pay someone to go for me, because
Suddenly nothing's going to plan, I'd rather
Stay where I am and think of something myself

Must I, every time something happens somewhere
Look - just look?
Am I going where I want when I go there
When I look - when I look

But when I think that I must go
Then I don't go, because I'd have no peace
Suddenly everything only works out when I
Am there where I think, because there I come up with something

Do we look away, look down upon, look into
Or do we look stupid - do we look stupid?
Do we watch everything, do we look away
Or do we look on - do we look on?

Suddenly things don't work out
So I'd rather stay where I am and think of something myself
And I never sing, I only shout
Because then everyone comes and looks at me

I don't ever want to sing, I want to shout
Because then everyone comes to look at me

Looking away, looking here, watching, not looking away
You don't need to look around, you need to look at it
Who said anything about looking in
You should look, only look, because
You can copy something
And you mustn't look up to something, only look at it, don't look with someone else, you should look yourself
So how do you look? Don't look stupid

But don't lose sight of yourself...

Siagst as (Do You See)

Safe journey, safe journey
A safe journey, I wish you
And in one way or the other
I'm with you in thought

Do you see, do you see, do you see, do you see
Do you feel, do you feel, it's getting better
When it is, when it is, when it is,
You will, you will, you will - know

After every long night
The light comes again
When the sun smiles upon you
Everything looks different for you

You became wise and quiet
I only mention it
You became wise, but your family
Your family is now us

Until, until, until, until that time
We must, we must, we must - wait
But the way, the way, the way it looks
Soon, soon, soon that time will come

After every long night…
Safe journey, safe journey through the night…

In winter in the darkness
When every star is hope
When the light goes out in your thoughts

Then only the memory remains
Of the light of the summer sun
Of when it sets golden behind the trees
And of the heat when it is high in the sky

We are nomads on new paths
Through the old world
We are nomads on old paths
Through the new world

Then comes from your memory
The light from the summer sun
That rises golden above the trees
Then you hear how the ice breaks
(And you feel it like a sharp sting)
Then you feel the burning and the heat
When it is high above you in the sky

Brenna tuats guat (It Burns Well)

where is the place
where the devil spawns his children
where is the place
where everything comes together
where is the fire
hey, where's the lightning strike
where's the barn
where's the hut that's burning

are we having bad luck or is everything going well
are we falling over or getting attention
are we thin or fat
having bad luck or good
deal the blows, tell the truth
whether we're worried or happy
if we were christians we'd have known
where the devil's wreaking havoc

everyone knows that
money doesn't grow on trees
and neither can you eat it
but it burns well
but we stoke up the wheat
and the turnips and the maize
if we keep on stoking
it'll all go to hell

where's the money
that nobody can find
why doesn't anybody have any shame
how come these people are always here
who lie, who hide the truth
and when they don't get what they want
they steal it
the devil should catch these crooks

where's the place
where the devil
spawns his children
where everything comes together
where is the fire
where's the lightning strike
where's the hut
where's the barn that's burning

everyone knows ...

Hålt nit ån (Don't Stop)

when i sit by the window and look out
i think it'll soon be time again
for a little fresh air in my nose
and for a few metres, for new people

i couldn't say that there's anything missing
where i am right now
but I'm being pulled away
with the clouds

my feet move of their own accord and the road
starts at my front door
only where it ends
that's what i don't know

when i've packed all my things together
then nothing is too much
i put my hat on and i look for my shoes
with the good new tread

i never have time to say goodbye
i'm up and away, i have to go
i must go
before i change my mind

my feet move of their own accord and the road
starts at my front door
only where it ends
that's what i don't know

don't stop ...

I kenn oan (I know someone)

i know someone who has nothing
having less is impossible
but he can still laugh
and sometimes i laugh with him

i know someone who drinks a lot
every day when he can
just enough that he doesn't fall down
just enough that he can still stand

in the waves
he likes to be
and sometimes
he pulls down a star

i know someone who has everything
she just never has it with her
she has no idea where she put it
and says she can't find it

every day
she's in her waves
and she says
she has to count raindrops

i know someone who knows everything
not much more is possible
knows how to do everything
but never realises anything

i know someone who smokes a lot
every day whenever he can
whatever he can get hold of
goes into his pipe

of all the people
there must be one or two in the world
like you and me
who are missing here
even those in the eternal waves
we always miss them
because nobody is here in vain
and everyone would be missed

Neama bång (Never Uneasy)

when the sun and
the rain
up in the sky
meet sometimes
then the clouds that were once grey
light up
suddenly in
the colours of the rainbow

and i get the feeling
that to my happiness not much is missing

the butterflies that fly
to flowers that are blooming
they fly to you too
because you are like a flower
they stay overnight
and fall asleep with you
and they're still there
when the sun shines

and then i know, yes, then i know
that to my happiness not much is missing

and now i am
and now i am
i am never uneasy
because i know,
because i know,
happiness will come

whence comes love
who gave it to us
yes, who achieves something
like our world
who says that it would be one
and not the other
perhaps it would even
be two of them

i don't need to understand everything
but a little would be nice

Wildschütz Räp (Poacher's Rap)

On a beautiful Sunday very early in the morning
The poacher ties his coarsely-sewn shoes
He goes up the mountain with his old Waffenrad
Because a mountain bike is only for a weak calf

A few hours later the hunter is drinking his coffee
Suddenly there is a bang up in the heights
Reserl says: "Franz don't put up with this
Everybody who shoots in our mountains must pay"

Holladjauridladi, Holladjauridladi
Holladjauridladi, Holladjauridla
Holladjauridladleidiadjeidiadjauridiridldüå

Franz, not being a boring man climbs up the wall
and finds the poacher with a knife in his hand
He shot a chamois, that is not allowed
This baby does not even have a driver's licence

He shouts at him: "It is over with you
Because I am the hunter and the chamois is mine
I am the sheriff, I am the forester
But into the heavens you go first

Do what I tell you boy, keep silent
You wouldn't be the first one to fall down
Put on your hat, throw down your rifle
Now nothing will ever help you"

Holladjauridladi, Holladjauridladi
Holladjauridladi, Holladjauridla
Holladjauridladleidiadjeidiadjauridiridldüå

There's lightning and thunder, it rattles and bangs
You hear how the poacher laughs
There he's gone, there flies a stone
And hits the hunter's shin bone

But once I have him, he won't escape me
But once I have him, he won't escape me
But once I have him, he won't escape me
He won't escape me

What a real poacher is, he has hunting in his blood
His place is up in the mountain and his hat is dashing

Down in the valley there's a cow
but unfortunately the boy's just drinking hard
And after a few schnapps and after a few beers
He suddenly sees two cows

Holladjauridladi, Holladjauridladi
Holladjauridladi, Holladjauridla
