Текст песни How Did I Die? (Einstürzende Neubauten) с переводом

I was in a crater

Pockmarked fields on either side

I was meant to be all safe

How did I die?

How did I die?

Or didn’t I?

Un sursaut, une crispation

Mon corps soudain

Comme voulant s’engloutir

Dans la terre

How did I die?

How did I die?

Or didn’t I?

Didn’t I die at all?

I fell into a ditch

Inside an A7V

On the end facing

Mephisto is it’s name

How did I die?

How did I die?

Or didn’t I?

Ein schwarzes Biest

Ein Splitterregen

Über den Bäumen zerspringt

Und niedergeht

How did I die?

How did I die?

Or didn’t I?

Didn’t I die at all?

Now there is only that sinister brown belt

A strip of murdered Nature. It seems to belong to another world.

Every sign of humanity has been swept away. The woods and roads have vanished

like chalk wiped from a board; of the villages nothing remains but gray smears

where stone walls have tumbled together. A confused mass of troubled earth.

Columns of muddy smoke spurt up continually as high explosives tear deeper

into this ulcered area

How did I die?

I fell from the sky

Or didn’t I?

I filled my mouth with water

So the bullet could suceed

How did I die?

How did I die?

Did I die by my own hand?

Or didn’t I?

How did I die?

Or didn’t I die at all?

How did we die?

Or didn’t we?

Didn’t we die at all?

We didn’t die

We didn’t die

We are back with a different song

We didn’t die

We didn’t die

We’re just singing a different song

We are back with a change of weather

Ein anderer Wind, ein neues Lied

We didn’t die

We didn’t die

We give you a different song

Okookookookooskrookookookookoo

The difference is in the song

Okookookookooskrookookookookoo

— difference makes the song

We didn’t die

We didn’t die

We didn’t die

We didn’t die
