Translation of the song Drink doch ene met artist Bläck Fööss

Ne ahle Mann steit vür d‘r Weetschaftsdüür,

There's an old man standing outside the pub's door

der su jän ens einen drinken dät.

Who would just love to have a drink.

Doch hä hät vill ze winnich Jeld,

But the money he holds proves to be way too little

su lang hä och zällt.

No matter how long he counts it

En d'r Weetschaff es die Stemmung jroß,

Inside the pub people are having a ball

ävver keiner süht dä ahle Mann.

But nodody gives heed of that old man.

Doch do kütt einer met enem Bier

Except for one guy who spends him a glass of beer

un sprich en einfach an:

And starts talking to him:

[Refrain:]

[Chorus:]

Drink doch eine met, stell dich nit esu aan!

Have a drink with us, don't be embarrassed

Du steis he de janze Zick eröm.

All you do is standing around here the whole time.

Häs de och kei Jeld, dat es janz ejal.

If you have no money, that's not a problem

Drink doch met un kümmer dich nit dröm.

Have a drink with us, and don't worry about it

[2x]

[2x]

Su mancher sitz vielleich allein zo Hus,

So many people probably sit at home alone

dä su jän ens widder laachen dät.

Who just crave to have a good time again.

Janz heimlich, do waat hä nur do drop,

Deep inside they are just waiting for somebody

dat einer zu im sät:

To come and say to them:

[Refrain]

[Chorus]
