How It Goes On

Wia Wird Des Weitergehn

That young person sits there, resigned andDa junge Mensch sitzt gottergeben und
Staring out the window at the treesFiacht si vua die Bam vurm Fenster
He sold himself to agonyEr hot si an die Agonie verkauft
The good times are gone, he's paralyzed by fear,De schenan Zeiten san vurbei, er is gelähmt vua Angst,
He's all alone and sick, and no one helps himEr was er is allan und krank und kana hüft eam
And he wants to run, just run. He wants to get away, nothing but awayUnd er wü fuat, nur fuat. Er wü weg, nix wia weg
He feels that this is serious,Er g’spiat das des wos ernstes is,
He stares at the ceiling in the morningEr fiacht si in der Fruah vurm Aufsteh
And all he can think about isUnd ollas wos er denken kau is

How does this end, how does it go onWia heat des auf, wia wird des weidagehn
All his strength has left him, where are the days when the windDe gaunze Kroft hot eam verloss’n, wo san die Toge wo da Wind
Blew the fog away in the morning?Den Koda in der Fruah verblos’n hot.
He always played the game, he had too easy opponentsEr hot die Spiele imma g’wuna, er hot zu leichte Gegener
He never believed he could ever lose.G’hobt, er hot net glaubt, daß er amoi valiern könnt.
That’s over, all over, he’s alone, completely alone.De is vorbei, ollas vorbei, er is allan, gaunz allan.
His own self is now his biggest enemy and he doesn’t likeEr söba is jetzt sei größter Gegner und söba toat si neamt gern
To admit it, but now he has to, because he can’tWeh, oba jetzt muaß er, weu er was net

He tries hard to stay calm, doesn’t say much and digs inEr gibt si Mühe, daß er ruhig bleibt, red net vü und grobt si
He wants to avoid making a scene.Ein. Er wü vermeid’n, daß er unguat auffoit.
He escapes into self-destruction, too much booze, too much smoke andEr flüchtet in die Selbstzerstörung, vü Schnops, vü Rauch und
Too much coffee, until he can’t breathe anymore.Vü Kaffe, bis eam amoi die Luft wegbleibt
