GUEST,German Lyr Req: Horch was kommt von draussen rein (46) RE: Lyr Req: Horch was kommt von draussen rein 14 Sep 10


The stanza about the bus has been added later, of course, probably by the Folk Process. It may have come from another song or poem, of which I don't know. Anyway, the majority of singers will sing the song *without* the extra stanza.

But, Sylvia, it fits into the story as a humorous comment at the end, the singer's beloved one being taken as well.

Here's my go at the translation:

Love will often let us wait
like a bus that's always late.
When at last it can be spied,
bet it's fully occupied!

(I'm not a poet either, not even a native speaker of English.)
