Original Lyrics
Translation in German
Up in the mornin′ with the sound of crows that keep me awake
Up in the mornin′ with the sound of crows that keep me awake
A two-and-froin' with the hounds and grain is calling to make
Ein Two-and-froin' mit den Hunden und Getreide ruft zu machen
A storm is comin′ but this land ain't ours to forsake
A storm is comin′ but this land ain't ours to forsake
I made a promise but the words are like the first thing you take
Ich habe ein Versprechen gegeben, aber die Worte sind wie das Erste, was du nimmst
It's heavy lifting and my hands are sore but no time for breaks
Es ist schweres Heben und meine Hände tun weh, aber ich habe keine Zeit für Pausen
My knees don′t work the same but faith ain′t so easy to shake
My knees don′t work the same but faith ain′t so easy to shake
So what you gonna' take
Also, was wirst du nehmen
When I ain′t got nothin' left?
When I ain′t got nothin' left?
So what you gonna′ take
So what you gonna′ take
When I ain't got nothin′ left to give
When I ain't got nothin′ left to give
You're biting the hands that feed you
Du schlägst die Hände, die dich füttern
You're biting the hands that feed
Du beschimpfst die Hände, die füttern
The day is long and night is short like a cheap glass of wine
Der Tag ist lang und die Nacht ist kurz wie ein billiges Glas Wein
I make my way back like the cattle in the field takin′ time
I make my way back like the cattle in the field takin′ time
I missed the sunset ′cos my eyes were planted still in the ground
I missed the sunset ′cos my eyes were planted still in the ground
My clothes are worn and kind of too big for this piece of mind
Meine Kleidung ist abgenutzt und irgendwie zu groĂź fĂĽr diesen Seelenfrieden
It's heavy lifting and my hands are sore and starting to break
Es ist schweres Heben und meine Hände tun weh und beginnen zu brechen
My knees don′t work the same but my faith ain't so easy to shake
My knees don′t work the same but my faith ain't so easy to shake
So what you gonna′ do, when I ain't got nothing′ left?
So what you gonna′ do, when I ain't got nothing′ left?
What you gonna' take, when I ain't got nothin′ left to give?
What you gonna' take, when I ain't got nothin′ left to give?
You′re biting the hands that feed you
You′re biting the hands that feed you
You're biting the hands that feed
Du beschimpfst die Hände, die füttern
