Johnny Boy(original) |
| Deine Zeit ist da, mach dich auf, mein Jung |
| Denn die Segel sind gehisst |
| Seit ich denken kann, willst du mit uns fahr’n |
| Weit hinaus auf unsrem Schiff |
| Du bist alt genug, wenn du willst |
| Dann komm, aber schnell, wir laufen aus |
| Junge, eile dich |
| Denn am Himmel zieh’n dunkle Wolken auf |
| Johnny boy, Johny boy |
| We’re bound for stormy weather |
| Johnny boy, Johnny boy |
| Better wish your lads farewell |
| Somewhere out, far away |
| We’re sailing on togehter |
| Oh Johnny my, we are leaving tonight |
| Johnny, say goodbye |
| (Stophe 2) |
| Holt die Segel ein, macht die Ladung fest |
| Denn da braut sich was zusamm' |
| Halt dich fest, mein Jung, so der Himmel will |
| Macht die See dich heut zum Mann |
| Wenn der Tanz beginnt, tau dich an den Mast |
| Und vergiss das Beten nicht |
| Es gibt kein Zurück, wenn der Herrgott will |
| So verschont er dich |
| Johnny boy, Johnny boy |
| We’re bound for stormy weather |
| Johnny boy, Johnny boy |
| Better wish your lads farewell |
| And back home, far away |
| Our loves will grief together |
| Oh Johnny my, it is live and let die |
| Johnny, say goodbaye |
| (Strophe 3) |
| In der Höllennacht unter Todesangst spielt |
| Das Meer sein Spiel mit ihm |
| Und mit einem Mal taucht ein Felsen auf |
| Und kein Weg ihm zu entflieh’n |
| Als der Sturm sich legt, ist ein Schiff zu seh’n |
| Neigt sich langsam Richtung Heck |
| Nur ein Junge sitzt an den Mast getaut |
| Keiner sonst an Deck |
| (Strophe 4) |
| Mit dem ersten Strahl, der die Nacht durchbricht |
| Weiße Segel, volle Fahrt |
| Kommt ein Schiff heran, halte durch mein Jung |
| Halte durch, die Rettung naht |
| Nur ein Mast ragt auf, an dem Felsenriff |
| Johnny regt sich nimmermehr |
| Er wird heimgebracht |
| Für den Rest der Crew sind die Särge leer |
| Johnny boy, Johnny boy |
| You were boud for stormy weather |
| Johnny boy, Johnny boy |
| May the angels guide you home |
| Somewhere out far away |
| You lost your lives togehter |
| You had to die, only heaven knows why |
| John, my boy, goodbye |
| Johnny boy, Johnny boy |
| You were boud for stormy weather |
| Johnny boy, Johnny boy |
| May the angels guide you home |
| Somewhere out far away |
| You lost your lives togehter |
| You had to die, only heaven knows why |
| John, my boy, goodbye |
| John, my boy, goodbye |
| (translation) |
| Your time has come, open up, my boy |
| Because the sails are hoisted |
| For as long as I can remember, you've wanted to ride with us |
| Far out on our ship |
| You're old enough if you want |
| Then come, but quickly, we are leaving |
| boy hurry up |
| Because dark clouds are gathering in the sky |
| Johnny boy, Johnny boy |
| We're bound for stormy weather |
| Johnny boy, Johnny boy |
| Better wish your lads farewell |
| Somewhere out, far away |
| We're sailing on together |
| Oh Johnny my, we are leaving tonight |
| Johnny, say goodbye |
| (stop 2) |
| Furl the sails, fasten the cargo |
| Because something's brewing |
| Hold on, my boy, if heaven wills |
| The sea makes you a man today |
| When the dance begins, unhook the pole |
| And don't forget to pray |
| There is no turning back if the Lord God wills |
| So he spares you |
| Johnny boy, Johnny boy |
| We're bound for stormy weather |
| Johnny boy, Johnny boy |
| Better wish your lads farewell |
| And back home, far away |
| Our loves will grief together |
| Oh Johnny my, it is live and let die |
| Johnny, say goodbye |
| (Verse 3) |
| Plays in mortal fear in Hell's Night |
| The sea his game with him |
| And suddenly a rock appears |
| And no way to escape from him |
| When the storm subsides, a ship can be seen |
| Slowly leans toward the stern |
| Only a boy sits tied to the mast |
| Nobody else on deck |
| (stanza 4) |
| With the first ray breaking through the night |
| White sails, full speed |
| If a ship comes, hold by my boy |
| Hold on, rescue is at hand |
| Only one mast rises up on the rocky reef |
| Johnny never moves |
| He will be brought home |
| For the rest of the crew, the coffins are empty |
| Johnny boy, Johnny boy |
| You were boud for stormy weather |
| Johnny boy, Johnny boy |
| May the angels guide you home |
| Somewhere out far away |
| You lost your lives together |
| You had to die, only heaven knows why |
| John, my boy, goodbye |
| Johnny boy, Johnny boy |
| You were boud for stormy weather |
| Johnny boy, Johnny boy |
| May the angels guide you home |
| Somewhere out far away |
| You lost your lives together |
| You had to die, only heaven knows why |
| John, my boy, goodbye |
| John, my boy, goodbye |
