Alaska Lyrics

Schenk ma Einsåmkeit, schenk ma Hunga
Schenk ma Valossenheit, schenk ma Kumma
Schenk ma Demut, loss mi wia de Gluat im Feia tausend Tode sterm
Los mi splittern, los mi zittern wia de Ebbe vaöden und vasickern
Loss mi wia de Wellen am Ufer zerbersten und jeden Kontroivalust zur Leidenschåft vaklären
vaklären

Kum scho: Leb mi laa
Kum scho: Leb laa

Wei wie es Meer um Alaska hob I in da Einsåmkeit g'lebt
Und so hom mi es Meer und d'Ewigkeit trogn
Hom so zwa a de einsomsten Inseln erschoffen
Durt hod owa a d'Zeit meine Wunden no g'heilt und mi gleichsom imma mi sei lossn
Gleichsom imma mi sei lossn

Es duad ma load, dass I nie der gwen bin
Dennst solong in mir seng woitst
I woa woi ähnlich wia da Traum vo Alaska
In da Vorstellung schena ois de Wirklichkeit

Nua de Zeit is a Geschenk vor oim wonns a gemeinsome is
I hob mas owa hoid scho domois docht, genau de wird uns iangwonn spoitn
Is scho guad und I wü jetz a ned wieda undonkboa sei
Owa wonn a G'schenk ned vo Herzen kumbd, donn konnst das a g'hoitn
a g'hoitn

Dei Nåm is mei Nåm
Und dei Tod is mei Tod
Dei Nåm is mei Nåm
Und dei Tod is mei Tod

Nua Alaska hod ma nie wos vasprochn, du dafia umso mehr
De Aussicht auf an ewigen Summa, owa vielleicht woit I'n oafoch zu sehr
Bist erst woam in meine Oam g'leng, hob di donn owa wieda an de koidn Tåg valoan
Wei so wia mit dir muas woi a in Alaska sei, wei nedmoi im Summa wird am je wirkli woam
Nedmoi im Summa wird am je wirkli woam

Drum schlepp mi zu de schroffesten Klippen, I wü nur no oamoi s'Meer seng
Owa es san ned nua wia, a da Sånd da letzten Winta schimmert no vom oiden Kumma
Und wonn donn da Schnee wieda g'schmoizn is und a weidas Lebensjoa vastrichen
Sogn ma uns wia in jedem Fruajoah wieda
„Vielleicht wird's jo des Joa endlich ‚unsa Summa‘"


# Lyrics in english translation:

Bestow me loneliness, bestow me hunger, gift me desolation, gift me grief
Bestow me humbleness, let me like the embers of fire die a thousand deaths
Let me shiver, let me shudder, like the tide atrophy and seep away
Let me burst like waves at the shore and declare every loss of control as zeal
Come on: Live me dry

Cause like the sea round Alaska I was doomed to live in solitude
And that's why the sea and eternity beard me
In this context indeed also created the loneliest islands
But there time still healed my wounds and let me be me to every time

I'm so sorry I never was the one
You'd have liked to see in me
Somehow like the dream of Alaska
The perception of more beauty than reality

Your name is my name
Your death is my death
Your name is my name
Your death is my death

But Alaska never gave me promised contrary to you
The chance for an endless summer, but maybe I wanted it way too much
You lied warm in my arms before I again lost you to the cold days
As with you it also will be in Alaska, cause also in summer it never will get really warm

Please drag me to the harshest cliffs, as I just want to see the sea once more
But it's no just us, also the sand of gone winters still shines from older sorrow
And when snow molt again this year, and one more year of my life elapsed
Then we ask us again like every springtime: Maybe this year it's gonna be our summer
