Has anyone heard Herbert Grönemeyer's song "Männer"? We have to analyze it and do work on it for German at the moment - our teacher even says that at the end of the module, she might get us all to do a mini-karaoke of it! Wahoo!
So, for anyone interested or our resident germans here, "hier ist der Song!" complete with english translations. Enjoy.
~*Männer - Herbert Grönemeyer*~
Männer nehmen in den Arm (Men take you in their arms)
Männer geben Geborgenheit, (Men provide security)
Männer weinen heimlich, (Men cry in secret)
Männer brauchen viel Zärtlichkeit (Men need a lot of tenderness)
Männer sind so verletzlich, (Oh men are so vulnerable)
Männer sind auf dieser Welt einfach unersetzlich.(Men simply can't be replaced in this world)
Männer kaufen Frauen, (Men buy women)
Männer stehen ständig unter Strom, (Men are always high)
Männer baggern wie blöde, (Men toil like idiots)
Männer lügen gern am Telefon, [(i]Men lie on the phone)[/i]
Männer sind allzeit bereit, (Oh men are always ready)
Männer bestechen durch ihr Geld und ihre Lässigkeit. (Men
corrupt with their money and their carelessness)
~
CHORUS:
Männer haben's schwer, nehmen's leicht, (Men have it rough, don't take things seriously)
außen hart und innen ganz weich, (Outside hard, inside quite soft)
werden als Kind schon auf Mann geeicht. (Programmed already from childhood to be a man)
Wann ist ein Mann ein Mann? (When is a man a man? NB - Can also be "what makes a man, a man?")
Wann ist ein Mann ein Mann? (When is a man a man?)
~
Männer haben Muskeln, (Men have muscles)
Männer sind furchtbar stark, (Men are terribly strong)
Männer können alles, (Men can do everything)
Männer kriegen 'nen Herzinfarkt (Men have heart attacks)
Männer sind einsame Streiter, (Oh men are lonely champions)
müssen durch jede Wand, müssen immer weiter. (Have to go through walls, always have to go on)
Männer führen Kriege, (Men wage wars)
Männer sind schon als Baby blau, (Men are already blue when
they're babies - NB: Can also mean "men are born drunkards")
Männer rauchen Pfeife, (Men smoke pipes)
Männer sind furchtbar schlau, (Men are terribly clever)
Männer bauen Raketen, (Men build rockets)
Männer machen alles ganz ganz genau. (Men do things very very
precisely)
Männer kriegen keine Kinder, (Men don't have babies)
Männer kriegen dünnes Haar, (Men get thinning hair)
Männer sind auch Menschen, (Men are people (humans), too)
Männer sind etwas sonderbar (Men are something special)
Männer sind so verletzlich, (Oh men are so vulnerable)
Männer sind auf dieser Welt einfach unersetzlich. (Men simply can't be replaced in this world)
~
CHORUS:
Männer haben's schwer, nehmen's leicht .... (Men have it rough, don't take things seriously)

Excellent song ... brings good memories ...  _________________ Lord, grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I can and the Wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I may have to kill because they piss me off. |

Ah, heard it a thousand times already *lol* Interesting to have an english translation to the song. I don't like his voice for some reason, but his lyrics are cool some truth behind them . _________________ ***Pervy Halbarad fancier*** |
