Lena Valaitis Johnny Blue translation
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, alle singen Deine Lieder.
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny Blue, everybody is singing your songs
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, keiner spielt so schoen, wie Du.
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny Blue, nobody plays as beautiful as you
Er wuchs auf ohne Freunde, denn keiner wollt' spielen
He grew up without friends, because no-one wanted to play
mit einem, der blind war, wie er.
With someone, who was blind, like him
Und er saß meißt zu Hause. Die Jungen dort draußen,
And he mostly sat at home, the boys outside
die riefen nur hinter ihm her.
They shouted after him
Sie riefen:
They shouted:
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, welche Farbe hat die Sonne?
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny Blue, what colour is the sun?
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, Kinder koennen grausam sein.
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny Blue, children can be cruel
Auf der alten Gitarre, die ihm jemand schenkte,
On the old guitar, that somebody gave him
da spielte er. Sie war sein Freund.
He played, it was his friend
Seine Lieder, die klangen nach Hoffnung und Freude
His songs, they sounded of hope and joy
und manchmal als ob jemand weint...
And sometimes as if someone was crying...
Und er sang:
And he sang:
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, welche Farbe hat die Sonne?
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny Blue, what colour is the sun?
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, und die Kinder hoerten zu.
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny Blue, and the children were listening
Und bald spielte keiner so wie er.
And soon nobody could play like him
Seine Lieder, die gingen den Menschen ans Herz.
His songs, touched people's hearts
Und er malte Farben aus Musik
And he painted colours with his music
und vergaß all seinen Schmerz.
And forgot all his pain
Und bald kamen zehntausend zu seinen Konzerten,
And soon ten thousand came to his concerts
denn er schenkte ihnen die Kraft
Because he gave them the power
an die Zukunft zu glauben im Dunkel des Lebens.
To believe in the future in the darkness of life
Er hatte es selber geschafft.
He had made it himself
Oh, Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, alle singen Deine Lieder.
Oh, blue, blue, blue, Johnny Blue, everybody is singing your songs
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, keiner spielt so schoen, wie Du.
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny Blue, nobody plays as beautiful as you
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, ja, sie kamen immer wieder,
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny Blue, yes, they all kept coming back
blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, und die ganze Welt hoert zu
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny Blue, and the whole world is listening
