Wise Guys "Latein" lyrics

Translation to:enfr

Latein

Er war nicht besonders witzig,und er war nicht sehr gut gebaut.Er hatte keine schicken Sachen an.Er war nicht sportlich und nicht laut.

Stach nicht hervor aus der Masse.Und die Jungs aus seiner Klasseverstanden’s einfach nicht:Denn die Mädels zog es trotzdem zu ihm hinwie die Motten zum Licht.

Er war der Beste in Latein,der Allerbeste in Latein.Wie er die Verben konjugierte,Substantive deklinierte –

das konnt’ nur er allein ...

Er war exakt wie ’ne Maschine.Er wusste sogar, wenn er schlief:Auf a, ab, e, ex, de, cum, sine,und pro und prae folgt Ablativ.

Er rezitierte ganze Fabeln,beherrschte die Vokabelnund war immer hellwach.Und die Mädels aus der Klassewurden reihenweise schwach.

Er war der Beste in Latein.Er schrieb nur Einsen oder Zwei’n.Und sang er ein Klageliedvon Horaz oder von Ovid,fing’n die Mädels an zu weinen ...

Doch dann bekam er sein Latinum.Sein Leben nahm ’ne böse Wende.Denn dadurch war er in der Schulemit sein’m Latein total am Ende.

Er war der Beste in Latein.Er war Experte unter Laien ...

Latin

He wasn't particularly funny,and he wasn't very well built.He didn't wear fancy stuff.He wasn't athletic nor loud.

Didn't stand out from the crowd.And the boys from his classjust didn't understand:Because nevertheless the girls were attracted to himlike moths to the light.

He was the best in Latin,the very best in Latin.The way he conjugated verbs,(and) Declined substantives –

Only he could do that ...

He was as exact as a machine.He even knew when he sleptTo a, ab, e, ex, de, cum, sineand pro and prae follows the ablative case.

He quoted entire fables,mastered the vocabularyand was always wide awake.And the girls in his classwould get weak in numbers.1

He was the best in Latin.He only got As or Bs.And when he sang a lamentfrom Horaz or from Ovid,the girls would start crying ...

But then he got his latinum.2His life took a nasty turn.Because of that in school he wascompletely at his Latin's end.3

He was the best in Latin.He was the expert among laities ...
