Translation Please (German -> English)

[feffe85]

Hi there! I was wondering if someone nice could translate a song for me?

Die Toten Hosen - Hier Kommt Alex, just so u know
-----------------
In einer Welt, in der man nur noch lebt,
damit man täglich roboten geht,
ist die größte Aufregung, die es noch gibt,
das allabendliche Fernsehbild.

Jeder Mensch lebt wie ein Uhrwerk,
wie ein Computer programmiert.
Es gibt keinen, der sich dagegen wehrt,
nur ein paar Jugendliche sind frustriert.

Wenn am Himmel die Sonne untergeht,
beginnt für die Droogs der Tag.
In kleinen Banden sammeln sie sich,
gehn gemeinsam auf die Jagd.

Hey, hier kommt Alex!
Vorhang auf - für seine Horrorschau.
Hey, hier kommt Alex!
Vorhang auf - für ein kleines bisschen Horrorschau.

Auf dem Kreuzzug gegen die Ordnung
und die scheinbar heile Welt
zelebrieren sie die Zerstörung,
Gewalt und Brutalität.


Erst wenn sie ihre Opfer leiden sehn,
spüren sie Befriedigung.
Es gibt nichts mehr, was sie jetzt aufhält
in ihrer gnadenlosen Wut.

Hey, hier kommt Alex!
Vorhang auf - für seine Horrorschau.
Hey, hier kommt Alex!
Vorhang auf - für ein kleines bisschen Horrorschau.

Zwanzig gegen einen
bis das Blut zum Vorschein kommt.
Ob mit Stöcken oder Steinen,
irgendwann platzt jeder Kopf.
Das nächste Opfer ist schon dran,
wenn ihr den lieben Gott noch fragt:
"Warum hast Du nichts getan,
nichts getan?"

Hey, hier kommt Alex!
Vorhang auf - für seine Horrorschau.
Hey, hier kommt Alex!
Vorhang auf - für ein kleines bisschen Horrorschau.
------------

In a world in which only one is still alive,
so that daily robot walks
is the greatest excitement, it still exists,
the nightly television picture.

Everyone lives like a clockwork,
like a programmed computer.
There is no, the other hand off,
Only a few young people are frustrated.

When the sky the sun goes down,
Droog begins for the day.
In small gangs collect it,
go on the hunt together.

Hey, here comes Alex!
Curtain up - for his horror show.
Hey, here comes Alex!
Curtain up - for a little bit of horror show.

On the crusade against the Rules
and the seemingly ideal world
they celebrate the destruction,
Violence and brutality.


Only when their victims suffer tendons,
they feel satisfaction.
There is nothing more what they are now staying
In its merciless fury.

Hey, here comes Alex!
Curtain up - for his horror show.
Hey, here comes Alex!
Curtain up - for a little bit of horror show.

Twenty against a
until the blood comes to light.
Whether with sticks or stones,
sometime bursts each head.
The next victim is already off
if you love the God still asks:
"Why have you done nothing,
nothing done? "

Hey, here comes Alex!
Curtain up - for his horror show.
Hey, here comes Alex!
Curtain up - for a little bit of horror show.

I strongly dissuade from using google translate.
Yes, it might be handy for one or two single words but when it comes to whole sentences the grammar ist just plain rubbish.
Maybe those who talk at least two languages will get my point.

[Chris]

thats the problem of every translation machines, u need someone who speaks both languages to get a text that makes sence

[Timbe_]

so did my translation make sense?

[JasonJ]

To me? sadly, no.

Okey, i know about online translators, but i dont like them.. i tried to translate on Altavistas Babelfishie thing.. didn't look so good.. so i thought that maybe there was anyone from Germany that could give me a somewhat "real" translation.. But sure, this works too

thnx man!

[laudi]

if i remember correctly, the dead trousers re-recorded some of (their) songs, if not just a whole album, using english lyrics. i think alex was one of those songs. you might wanna search for that.

anyway, i´m from germany, so i thought i can give it a try. here you go:



In a world, where you live
just to work like a robot,
the greatest exitement is
every evening´s tv shows.

Every man lives like a clockwork,
programmed like a computer,
noone fights against it,
just some teenagers are frustrated.

At the setting of the sun,
the day starts for the "Droogs"
They gather in small groups/gangs
and go hunting together.

Hey, here comes Alex!
Rise(?) the curtain for his Horror show.
Hey, hier comes Alex!
Rise the curtain for a little bit of horror show.

On a crusade against order
and the seemingly heal world
they celebrate destruction,
violance and brutality.

They only feel satisfaction when
they see their victims suffer.
theres´nothing that can stop them
in their merciless fury.

Hey, here comes Alex!
Rise the curtain for his Horror show.
Hey, hier comes Alex!
Rise the curtain for a little bit of horror show.

Twenty vs. one
until the blood comes out.
(no matter) whether with sticks or stones,
sooner or later every head cracks/bursts.
It´s already the next victim´s turn (passive)
when you still ask dear God:
"Why have you done nothing,
done nothing?"

Hey, here comes Alex!
Rise the curtain for his Horror show.
Hey, hier comes Alex!
Rise the curtain for a little bit of horror show.
