Annett - Du bist immer so negativ

Hello
Posted for corrections
Sorry no link to listen It is a cute song

Annett - Du bist immer so negativ

Refrain
Du bist immer so negativ,
machst alles kaputt.
Und wenn alles im Eimer ist,
dann geht’s dir gut.

You are always so negative,
it ruins everything,
and when everything is down the drain,
then you’re doing good.

Wenn wir in Gesellschaft sind
und du stellst mich vor
mit meinem kleinen Scheißerchen
dann braucht man Humor.
Wenn ich meinen Witz erzähl’,
den mit dem Eskimo,
dann sagst du "Tschüß mein Schatz, wenn was ist,
ich bin auf dem Klo".

If we are in company
and you place me in front
with my little sweetheart
then one needs humor.
If I tell my joke,
the one with the Eskimo,
then you say " Bye my treasure, if something happens,
I am in the toilet".

[Refrain]

Wenn ich mal am Steuer sitz –
einmal im Jahr –
dann hältst du ein Schild heraus
drauf steht: "Achtung Gefahr!"
Und wenn ich mal ein Liedchen sing,
dann sagst du: "Gib Ruh!"
sonst denken die Nachbarn noch,
daß ich dir was tu.

When I'm sitting at the wheel –
once a year –
then you hold out a sign
on it says: “Warning Danger!”
And if I sing a song,
then you say: “Give it a rest!”
otherwise the neighbors think,
that I do something (bad) to you.

[Refrain]

Und Mutti sagte noch,
das ist jetzt dein Mann
und wenn du Probleme hast,
komm’ zu mir ja nicht an.
Wenn mich das Verlangen packt
heißt es: "Fang schon mal an!"
Dann wenn er dazu kommt
dauert es nicht mehr so lang.

And mom just said:
“That is your husband now
and if you have problems,
don’t come to me.”
When I am seized with the desire
it says "begin already!"
Then when he comes for that,
it takes not so long anymore.

[Refrain]

Doch ich weiß, er ist gut zu mir,
im Innersten denkt er wie ich.
Holt mich am Geldtag ab
von der letzten Schicht.
Dann geht er essen und trinken
und nimmt mich nie mit.
Er sagt:"In deinem Arbeitskittel
bist ja auch wirklich nicht chic."

But I know he is good to me,
at heart, he thinks like I do.
He picks me up on payday
from the last shift.
Then he goes eating and drinking
and never takes me with him.
He says:”In your work clothes
you are really not stylish/fashionable.

[Refrain]

[Refrain]


* This word is used quite a bit in different posts on the internet. I haven't found a satisfactory definition yet. Enlightenment would be appreciated.

Scheißerchen (as far I see it) has two different kind of meanings, sometimes it is - as strange as it might sound - used in terms of endearment, then again it could be a curse. I think it's mild variant here!


Wenn wir in Gesellschaft sind
If we are in society
I'd rather put "company" here, since that is what Gesellschaft means here. Like being among other people, for example on a party

daß ich dir was tu.
that I do something to you.
-> meaning harm or similar things

hoo hoo

Scheißerchen means little sh*t

(I guess you already new )

Sometimes when you say this can also mean sweatheart.



I wish you both all the best for the new year!

See you tomorrow!

Hello Tahira & Steena,

I wish you both a good New Year.
I picked up the gist of it from the posts that I read. It seems it is often used but never defined. Yes I was confused by the two very different uses but I would guess most languages have that in everyday speaking. I made the changes,how does it look now?

@ Steena
Yep! I knew what it meant. not a compliment to her singing.
