Silent night in Irish

today I sang a bit of this in German class because everyone else had to sing Christmas songs in their own language.

Oíche chiúin,
oíche Mhic Dé,Cách 'na suan,
dís araon,Dís is dílse ag faire le spéis,
Naí beag gnaoi-gheal ceanántais caomh
Críost ina chodladh go séimh.
Críost ina chodladh go séimh,

Mack the Knife

Es ist hat nicht so viel mit die Dunkelheit auf Englisch zu tun. Aber ist leichter zu verstanden! :)

And the shark, he has teeth
And he wears them in his face
And Macheath, he has a knife
But the knife you don't see
On a beautiful blue Sunday
Lies a dead man on the Strand
And a man goes around the corner
Whom they call Mack the Knife
And Schmul Meier stays missing
As do some rich men
And his money has Mack the Knife,
On whom they can't pin anything.
Jenny Towler was found
With a knife in her chest
And on the wharf walks Mack the Knife,
Who knows nothing about all this.
And the minor-aged widow,
Whose name everyone knows,
Woke up and was violated
Mack, what was your price?
And some are in the darkness
And the others in the light
But you only see those in the light
Those in the darkness you don't see
But you only see those in the light
Those in the darkness you don't see

Mackie Messer

Ich hoere gern diese Lied denn habe ich zuerst im deutsch Unterricht im Irland gehoert. Es klingt sehr optimisch (die Musik) obwohl es um Mord geht!!


Und der Haifisch, der hat Zähne
Und die trägt er im Gesicht
Und Macheath, der hat ein Messer
Doch das Messer sieht man nicht
An 'nem schönen blauen Sonntag
Liegt ein toter Mann am Strand
Und ein Mensch geht um die Ecke,
Den man Mackie Messer nennt
Und Schmul Meier bleibt verschwunden
Und so mancher reiche Mann
Und sein Geld hat Mackie Messer
Dem man nichts beweisen kann
Jenny Towler ward gefunden
Mit 'nem Messer in der Brust
Und am Kai geht Mackie Messer,
Der von allem nichts gewußt
Und die minderjährige Witwe
Deren Namen jeder weiß
Wachte auf und war geschändet
Mackie welches war dein Preis?
Refrain
Und die einen sind im Dunkeln
Und die anderen sind im Licht
Doch man sieht nur die im Lichte
Die im Dunkeln sieht man nicht
Doch man sieht nur die im Lichte
Die im Dunkeln sieht man nicht

Sonny don't go away

1 Sonny lives on a farm, in a wide open space 4 1 4 1 You can take off your sneakers and give up the race 5 You can lay down your head, on a sweet river bed 4 1 5 Sonny always remembers the words Mamma says 1 Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone 4 1 4 1 Your Daddy's a sailor who never comes home, 5 Nights get so long, and the silence goes on, 4 1 5 I'm feeling so tired and I'm not all that strong Sonny carries a load, though he's barely a man There ain't that much to do, but he does what he can And he watches the sea from a room by the stairs And the waves keep on rolling, they've done that for years and for years It's a hundred miles to town, Sonny's never been there But he goes to the highway and stands there and stares And the mail comes at four the mailman is old Sonny still dreams his dreams full of silver and gold Sonny's dreams can't be real, they're just stories he's read There's stars in his eyes, there's dreams in his head And he hungers inside for that wide world outside But he knows he can't hold it, though he's tried, and he's tried

hands clean

If it weren't for your maturity none of this would have happened
If you weren't so wise beyond your years
I would've been able to control myself
If it weren't for my attention you wouldn't have been successful and
If it weren't for me you would never have amounted to very much
