Die Streuner - Wein, Weib und Gesang
Wine, woman and song

[Refrain]
Wein, Weib und Gesang
Und das ganze ein Leben lang
Wenn das nicht mehr wär
Ich armer Tor
Dann wär mir Angst und Bang
Ja dann wär mir Angst und Bang

Wine, woman and song
and all of that a life long
If this no longer would be,
me poor fool
would be very worried,
yes very worried.


Schlaget an das erste Faß
Denn der Wein schlichtet größten Haß
Er benebelt die Sinne
Und schlägt auf die Stimme
Aus jedem Tenor wird ein Baß

Break open the first barrel
because the wine calms the greatest hatred
It befuddles the senses
And smites the voice
Each tenor becomes a bass.


[Refrain]


Mannen hebet an den Kilt
Für die Weiber ein lustiges Bild
Doch wer sich nicht traut
Weil er klein ist lieber schaut
Verstecke sich hinter sein Schild

Men lift up the kilt,
for the women an amusing picture.
Yet, whoever does not dare
because he is small rather watches,
cowering behind his shield.


[Refrain]


Weiber knöpft auf euer Hemd aber schnell
Denn wir Mannen lieben Blusen ohne l
Bleibt das Hemd zu bis oben
Kriegt ihr keinen Mann zum Toben
Tut ihr's doch gibts Gejaul und Gebell

Women unbutton your shirt but quickly,
Because we men love boobs
If the shirt remains (buttoned) up to the top
you get no man to romp
If you do it, however, there is howling and barking.


[Refrain]


Ja das Lied hat mir Spaß gemacht
Doch ich seh es hat nichts gebracht
Drum pack ich die Laute und spiel andern Leuten
Meine ganze Liederpracht

Yes, the song has amused me,
however, I see it has brought nothing.
For this reason I pack up the lute and play for other people
my whole repertoire of songs
.


[Refrain]

Wine, woman and song

[Refrain]
Wein, Weib und Gesang
Und das ganze ein Leben lang
Wenn das nicht mehr wär
Ich armer Tor
Dann wär mir Angst und Bang
Ja dann wär mir Angst und Bang

Wine, woman and song
and that a whole life long(1)
because (of) this, no longer was (2)
I a poor fool(3)
Then, I’m worried to death(4)
Yes, then I’m worried to death(5)

Schlaget an das erste Faß
Denn der Wein schlichtet größten Haß
Er benebelt die Sinne
Und schlägt auf die Stimme
Aus jedem Tenor wird ein Baß

Break open the first barrel
because the wine settles the biggest hatred (6)
It confuses the senses(7)
And smites the voice
From every tenor comes a bass(8)

[Refrain]

Mannen hebet an den Kilt
Für die Weiber ein lustiges Bild
Doch wer sich nicht traut
Weil er klein ist lieber schaut
Verstecke sich hinter sein Schild

Men lift up the kilt,
for the women an amusing picture
Yet, whoever does not dare
because he is rather small looking,(9)
cowers behind his shield.

[Refrain]

Weiber knöpft auf euer Hemd aber schnell
Denn wir Mannen lieben Blusen ohne "l"*
Bleibt das Hemd zu bis oben
Kriegt ihr keinen Mann zum Toben
Tut ihr's doch gibts Gejaul und Gebell

Women unbutton your shirt but quickly,
Since we men love blouses minus bodies(10)
If the shirt remains (buttoned) to the top(11)
you get no man to romp
If you do it, however, there is howling and barking.

[Refrain]

Ja das Lied hat mir Spaß gemacht
Doch ich seh es hat nichts gebracht
Drum pack ich die Laute und spiel andern Leuten
Meine ganze Liederpracht*

Yes, the song has amused me,
however, I see it has brought nothing(12)
For this reason I pack up the lute and play my magnificent songs
for other people(13)

[Refrain]

3. >> Me, a poor fool.
4. >> I would be affraid and fear

Hello,

my suggestions

Wenn das nicht mehr wär
Ich armer Tor

Wär=conjunctive

If this no longer would be,
me poor fool
would be very worried,
yes very worried.



Worried to death ist to strong, i think. It istn meant this way in this funny song. I would leave out the death in here.

Denn wir Mannen lieben Blusen ohne "l"*

"Blusen"=eng. "blouses"
witout "l"=

"Busen" = eng. "bosom"

means all men like boobies.


Just for explanation, i have no idea of translating this phrase,
perhaps "Since we men love blossom without "l".

"The right man on the right place."
Hello *Ray Alpha*

Sure! You are right!!!! You're right!! You're right!! A man's business.

I laugh myself to tears.

Hi Inaissa & Ray Alpha,

thank you both for your help. An amusing song indeed.

Und das ganze ein Leben lang
and that a whole life long(1)

1. >> and the whole lifelong

As you may have noticed my German is somewhat lacking but what happens to the ein in your translation? I thought the das refers back to the first line.

Denn wir Mannen lieben Blusen ohne "l"*

"Blusen"=eng. "blouses"
witout "l"=

"Busen" = eng. "bosom"

means all men like boobies.

I knew the destination, just the route confused me. Never looked that word up before, something new learned. You are more clever than I am. Once you pointed it out, it seems obvious.

"Das ganze" refers back to "Wein, Weib und Gesang", so the line translates correctly to;

and all of that (/a whole of that) a life long.

I knew the destination, just the route confused me. Never looked that word up before, something new learned. You are more clever than I am. Once you pointed it out, it seems obvious.

No question of cleverness, but being a native German speaker, this is quite obvious and beside this, it is quite an old joke. Dont forget, i am translating the other way round.

Hi Macbard,

My mistake!! I am a German, I speak English because I have to.
I forgot to place a comma after "the whole" and write an "a" vor "lifelong".
>>and the whole, a lifelong<<
>>and the whole-wine, woman and song- a lifelong or>> and that "all in all", a lifelong
I am very sorry.!!!
