Fredrik Vahle - Der Rattenfänger von Hameln versuri traducere în engleză

Translation

The Pied Piper of Hamelin

In coloured rags a minstrel went up a sandy way, long ago
And rested under an apple tree, beginning to play his pipe softly
And then he played louder – his tune could be heard through the quiet country
Across fields and acres to the wood it was carried by the wind
Hearing this the countryfolks dropped their scythes and came to him
With open eyes and open mouths they wondered at the stranger
„Oh God, how well he plays! How long he plays! Such a wonderful sound!“

They gave sausages and bread to the minstrel before he went on his way
To Hamelin, the beautiful town at the the Weser, which was in trouble.
In Hamlin the rats scurried, there were rats in every place
They ate poor people‘s last piece of bread and the candles in the townhall
But the guards at the gates didn‘t let him in: „We don‘t need scum like you!“
And when he didn‘t go away they seized him and bet him in the face.
„He is poor, he is a stranger, he should better run away!“

The people of Hamelin prayed to the Lord but the Lord didn‘t react
Even the mayor lost weight and with a pale face he spoke:
„He who succeeds to free Hamelin from the rats with God‘s (or any other‘s) help
Will get a hundred pieces of gold and shall be granted citizenship.“
The minstrel at the town‘s gate heard it and said: „I am the man
Who can free the town from its scourge for that reward.
I whistle fine, I whistle long, it‘s a wonderful sound.“

He went through the narrow streets before dawn and played a high note
A sound which the rats heard and they followed him at once
He swam through the river Weser and the rats drowned by following him blindly
And ever since that day no more rat was seen in Hamlin
„Oh Mayor, the town is free so reward me now.“
But the mayor laughed:“Get it from the devil!
You are poor, you are a stranger, you better run.“

The minstrel went away, jaundiced and poor. Only the town‘s children
Went on telling how the mayor betrayed the minstrel.
But the man returned on the day of St John‘s and Paul, as a hunter with a red hat
Played the pipe, the children listened, these sounds they understood well
They tiptoed out of the narrow houses
With the sweet sound in their ears, they didn‘t want to go home again.
Hark, how sweet he plays and how long he plays, it‘s a wonderful sound!“

They complained to the pied piper about their bitter lot and fearfully and pale
They said:“We always have to obey, otherwise we are beaten so badly.
The rooms are dark an narrow and many children in this town
Are lucky if there‘s a bed of straw and a little to eat.“
At this point the stranger talked of a distant land
Where no child cries of fear and of cold, where everyone can be happy.
He talked fine, he talked long and the children beleived him.

Then they all moved away from the town, with the piper whistling so fine
They went out to the mountain and soon were no longer to see
They searched and searched and couldn‘t find, the distant promised land
And finally told their own children:“We take matters into our own hands now“
And since then they are working on a better world against war and mysery
Where no child needs to be hungry ans sad as the piper once promised
He whistled fine, he whistle long, it was a wonderful sound.

Okay, I Surrender

Sure, I've always been free
Wanted to live my life
Thought that being alone was strong
But there was something about you
Awoke something within me
And nothing's like before
It's so hard keeping in all the emotions I have
When you whisper words to me I understand
We're going to float
Far away where no one else can reach
Only the two of us

Okay, I surrender
I'll come with you
Far away where no one has gone before
Okay, I surrender
I'm coming along with you
Our journey will never end

You, you appeared in a dream
You were sweet, you were tender
And even though the dream vanished
You remained
I tried forgetting that
I never thought I could fall in love
Never in love
But all my doubts disappeared
When my dream came true

Okay, I surrender...

Okay, I surrender...

Okay, I surrender...

I burn for you

You no longer believe
That I can change all of this
You lock yourself in and me out
Old healed wounds
I cry for minutes, you cry for hours
But I won't give you up
I was able to fall in love with the person [on the inside]
So I can fight for him too

No, I won't give you up
I burn for you
Until the flame goes out
Until I don't miss you anymore
No, I won't give you up
I burn for you
Until my heart breaks
Until my heart breaks

What can I tell you about beautiful colors if you can't see them?
What do you want to tell me about all the scars when I fly over them?
I say everything will be fine, better look ahead
But your horizon is completely black and lost
A deserted place, yes
Am I a rock in the surf
Or the one who falls into the abyss with you?
Baby, tell me, am I a hero without a plan of action
Or should I keep trying?
I do every damn test, write every damn text
In the hope that everything will soon be better than it is now
So believe me, it will be better than it is now

No, I won't give you up
I burn for you
Until the flame goes out
Until I don't miss you anymore
No, I won't give you up
I burn for you
Until my heart breaks
Until my heart breaks

The Warmth You Gave

My summer feeling
Your closeness makes me warm
My summer feeling
You get me with your charm

Whenever you come over now and then
My thoughts start flowing
But if you leave me without notice
It's hard to accept

Come, I want to be with you
To feel all of you
On the beach by a glittering ocean
Somewhere
I see a reflection of us
And the warmth you gave
The warmth you gave

My summer feeling
Often makes me hot
My summer feeling
You're like words of a poet

When you show your elegance
I always get stimulated
That our romance only lasted briefly
Still attracts me

Come, I want to be with you
To feel all of you
On the beach by a glittering ocean
Somewhere
I see a reflection of us
And the warmth you gave
The warmth you gave

Come, I want to be with you
To feel all of you
On the beach by a glittering ocean
Somewhere
I see a reflection of us
And the warmth you gave
The warmth you gave

Want to feel the warmth you gave

Want to feel the warmth you gave

Spell (Talisman)

Even if you flee to the other side of the earth,
One day, I will discover you.
Even if a hundred demons enchant you,
I will arrive to break your spell.

I'll come valley after valley,
I'll come desert after desert,
I'll come house by house,
I'll scour the entire world.
I'll go to the summit of Qaf,
I'll go to the city of the sun,
I'll wander endlessly inquiring,
In the moonlit alleys.

If you go underwater to become a fish,
I'll become a fisherman coming to catch you.
If you go under the clouds like the moon,
I'll push the clouds aside and see you.

Like night following day,
I'm wandering, following you.
Whether I'm asleep or awake,
I'm with your thought everywhere
