    Default Lisa, Lisa!

    Previously I asked someone to have these lyrics transcribed in german, but never asked for an english translation. Do you think you could translate them for me?

    Vielen dank im Voraus!



    _Lisa, Lisa!_


    Des Morgens,
    Des Morgens um halb viere,
    Halb viere,
    Da kommt der Unteroffizier.
    Heraus,
    Heraus ihr faulen Tiere,
    Ja Tiere,
    Und reinigt das Revier.

    |: Aber immer,
    Mit frischem frohen Mut, zwei drei,
    Ja Mut zwei drei,
    Ja Mut zwei drei,
    Aber immer,
    Mit frischem frohen Mut, zwei drei,
    Ziehn wir der Heimat zu.
    Lisa, Lisa,
    Schenke dem Reservemann noch mal ein,
    Lisa, Lisa,
    Schenk der Reserve noch ein. :|

    Der Hauptmann, der Hauptmann,
    kam geritten, geritten
    Auf einem Ziegenbock.
    Da dachten, da dachten
    die Rekruten, die Rekruten.
    Es sei der liebe Gott.
    |: Aber immer . . .

    Der Posten ist erfroren,
    Ja, erfroren
    In einer Winternacht.
    Es frorin,
    Es frorin,
    ihn an den Ohren,
    Ja Ohren,
    Das hat ihn umgebracht.
    |: Aber immer . . .

    In the morning,
    in the morning at 3:30,
    3:30,
    comes the sergeant.
    Out!
    Out, you sloths (note: "faules Tier" = lazy animal; "Faultier" = sloth, so this is a pun.)!
    Yes, animals,
    and clean the office.

    |: But always,
    with fresh blithe cheer, two three,
    Aye cheer, two three,
    Aye cheer, two three,
    But always,
    with fresh blithe cheer, two three,
    we move home.
    Lisa, Lisa,
    refill the substitute's glass,
    Lisa, Lisa,
    refill the reserve's glass. :|

    The captain, the captain,
    came riding along, riding along,
    on a billy goat.
    Here thought, here thought
    the recruits, the recruits,
    It was dear God.
    |: But always...

    The sentry is frozen,
    Aye, frozen
    In a winter's night.
    He was cold,
    He was cold,
    on his ears,
    Aye, ears,
    That got him killed.
    |: But always...
    - Racism is not far, it is in everybody's nature. Detect thy fears, thy prejudices, and live in unison with these fears and every being that does not harm thee.

    By the way, what does your signature mean? It isn't german!

    What if they gave a fire and nobody came.
