ORIGINAL TEXT:	DEUTSCHE ÜBERSETZUNG:
Concrete Jungle No sun will shine in my day today The high yellow moon won't come out to play Darkness has covered my light And has changed my day into night Now where is this love to be found, won't someone tell me? 'Cause life, sweet life, must be somewhere to be found, yeah Instead of a concrete jungle where the livin' is hardest Concrete jungle, oh man, you've got to do your best, yeah. No chains around my feet, but I'm not free I know I am bound here in captivity And I've never known happiness, and I've never known sweet caresses Still, I be always laughing like a clown Won't someone help me? Cause, sweet life, I've, I've got to pick myself from off the ground, yeah In this here concrete jungle, I say, what do you got for me now? Concrete jungle, oh, why won't you let me be now? I said life must be somewhere to be found, yeah Instead of a concrete jungle,illusion, confusion Concrete jungle, yeah Concrete jungle, you name it, we got it, concrete jungle now Concrete jungle, what do you got for me now?	Beton-Dschungel (vielen Dank an Swiss Nauruan Wailer) Keine Sonne wird meinen Tag erhellen; der hohe gelbe Mond wird nicht zum Spielen erscheinen: ich sagte, Dunkelheit hat mein Licht verdeckt, und hat meinen Tag zu Nacht gemacht, yeah. Wo ist die Liebe, die zu finden ist? Wirds mir niemand sagen? Weil mein süsses Leben muss irgendwo zu finden sein, anstatt dieses Beton-Dschungels, wo das Leben härter ist. Beton-Dschungel: Mensch, du hast dein Bestes zu tun. Yeah! Keine Ketten an meinen Füssen, doch ich bin nicht frei. Ich weiss, ich bin hier in Gefangenschaft gehalten. Ich habe nie Fröhlichkeit gekannt; ich habe nie gewusst, was süsse Liebkosung ist. Dennoch, ich will immer wie ein Clown lachen; Wird mir niemand helfen? Weil ich mich selbst vom Boden erheben muss in diesem Beton-Dschungel. Ich sagte, was hast du nun für mich! Beton-Dschungel, ah, wirst du mich nun nicht sein lassen. Ich sagte, dass das süsse Leben, es muss irgendwo zu finden sein, Oh, anstatt des Beton-Dschungels - Illusion, Verwirrung, Beton-Dschungel. Beton-Dschungel: Schätzchen, du kassierst es in diesem Beton-Dschungel. Beton-Dschungel: Was hast du nun für mich?
Slave Driver Slave driver the table is turned Catch a fire so you can get burned Slave driver the table is turned Catch a fire you're gonna get burned Ev'ry time I hear the crack of the whip My blood runs cold I remember on the slave ship How they brutalised our very souls Today they say that we are free Only to be chained in poverty Good god, I think it's all illiteracy It's only a machine that make money Slave driver the table is turned Slave driver the table is turned baby now Catch a fire so you can get burned baby now Slave driver the table is turned Catch a fire so you can get burned Ev'ry time I hear the crack of the whip My blood runs cold I remember on the slave ship How they brutalised our very souls Oh god have mercy on our souls	Sklaventreiber (vielen Dank an Swiss Nauruan Wailer) Ooh-ooh-oo-ooh. Oo-oo-ooh! Oo-oo-ooh. Sklaventreiber, das Blatt hat sich gewandt; (fange Feuer) Fange Feuer, damit du brennen kannst, jetzt. (Fange Feuer) Sklaventreiber, das Blatt hat sich gewandt; (fange Feuer) Fange Feuer: du wirst brennen. (Fange Feuer) Jedes Mal, wenn ich den Knall einer Peitsche höre, gerinnt mein Blut. Ich erinnere mich an das Sklavenschiff, wie sie die wahren Seelen brutalisierten. Heute sagen sie, dass wir frei sind, nur um in Armut gefesselt zu sein. Guter Gott, ich denke, es ist Ungebildetheit; es ist nur eine Maschine, die Geld macht. Sklaventreiber, das Blatt hat sich gewandt, ihr alle. Uh! Sklaventreiber, ah! Das Blatt hat sich gewandt, Baby, jetzt; (fange Feuer) Fange Feuer, damit du brennen kannst, jetzt. (Fange Feuer) Sklaventreiber, das Blatt hat sich gewandt, ihr alle; (fange Feuer) Fange Feuer: damit du brennen kannst, jetzt. (Fange Feuer) Jedes Mal, wenn ich den Knall einer Peitsche höre, gerinnt mein Blut. Ich erinnere mich an das Sklavenschiff, wie sie die wahren Seelen brutalisierten. O Gott, hab Erbarmen mit unseren Seelen! Oh, Sklaventreiber, das Blatt hat sich gewandt, ihr alle; (fange Feuer) Fange Feuer, damit du brennen kannst. (Fange Feuer) Sklaventreiber, das Blatt hat sich gewandt, ihr alle; (fange Feuer) Fange Feuer...
400 Years 400 years And it's the same The same philosophy I've said it's 400 years Look, how long And the people they still can't see. Why do they fight against the poor youth of today? And without these youths, they would be gone All gone astray. Come on, let's make a move I can see time time has come, And if-a fools don't see I can't save the youth The youth is gonna be strong. So, won't you come with me I'll take you to a land of liberty Where we can live, gonna live a good, good life And be free. Look how long: 400 years Way too long! That's the reason my people my people can't see. Said, it's four hundred long years Give me patience same philosophy. It's been 400 years, Wait so long! How long? 400 long, long years.
Stop That Train Stop that train: I'm leavin' - today! Stop that train: I'm leavin' - anyway! Stop that train: I'm leavin'. And I said: It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong; I said, it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong. All my good life I've been a lonely man, Teachin' my people who don't understand; And even though I tried my best, I still can't find no happiness. So I got to say: Stop that train: I'm leavin' - oh, baby now! Stop that train: I'm leavin' - don't care what you say! Stop that train: I'm leavin'. And I said: It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong; Said, it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong. Some goin' east; and-a some goin' west, Some stand aside to try their best. Some livin' big, but the most is livin' small: They just can't even find no food at all. I mean, stop it: Stop that train: I'm leavin' - leavin', mm-hmm. Stop that train: I'm leavin' - I don't mind! Stop that train: I'm leavin'. And I said: It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong; I said it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong. Stop that train: I'm leavin' - leavin'! Stop that train: I'm leavin' - can't take it! Stop that train: I'm leavin' - got to be better! It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong; I said it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong.

Mitternachts-Schwärmer (vielen Dank an Swiss Nauruan Wailer) (Man kann die Frau nicht vom Mann unterscheiden) Nein, ich sage, man kann nicht, weil sie sind in der gleichen Verschmutzung gekleidet; (in der gleichen Verschmutzung gekleidet) Ihr Verstand ist verwirrt durch Verwirrung, durch ihre Probleme, da sie keine Lösung dafür haben: Sie werden zu Mitternachts-Schwärmer.
