Endlich Nichtschwimmer [English translation]

Yes, yes, yessir, you know the old story

Always the same with this Dendemeier

When I wobble once again through the area

Celebrating myself as a living legend

As sure-fire success, as loner

And roar "Good evening" like hundred of Mainzelmänner

I am not a rapper, only a blues singer gone astray

Not an insurgent, only a pedestrian on bikeways

Not a stubborn Wadenbeißer.

Not a Freischwimmer, I am pool supervisor

Yeah, I watch the happenings from pool edge

till I - let's say: start to "get" it

Because some swim with and some against the tide

But I ask: "Do we still swim or do we finally live?"

I got this over and done with, no swimming anymore

Could I finally get some applause therefor?

(Now the time has come) I swimmed, swam and swom

(Finally) Finally I have arrived

(Finally) Finally I scrammed again (/reclaimed land)

(Finally) Finally non-swimmer turn on the song

(Now the time has come) I swimmed, swam and swom

(Finally) Finally I scrammed again

(Finally) Finally I have arrived

(Finally) Finally non-swimmer turn on the song

In this open-air pool that they call "life"

As pool supervisor you virtually get to know everyone

Preferred styles are breaststroke or to do the crawl

But even for that many people are to listless and lazy

Pretend to be a buoy, drift

They would stay in the water till they are wizened

I like to spring them but that is not my decision

Added to this I don't like water

And if I nevertheless jump into the pool

It is only to brake you of this mess

I got a lifebelt under my right arm

And with the left I paddle like a butterfly

No matter how stark it sounds it is a severe drug

And to get away from this stays a hard trial

I don't swim anymore check my wardrobe

There you can find everything but bathers

(Now the time has come) I swimmed, swam and swom

(Finally) Finally I have arrived

(Finally) Finally I scrammed again (/reclaimed land)

(Finally) Finally non-swimmer turn on the song

(Now the time has come) I swimmed, swam and swom

(Finally) Finally I scrammed again

(Finally) Finally I have arrived

(Finally) Finally non-swimmer turn on the song

(Schabba-dabba-duda) Yes, I swimmed, swam and swom

(Schabba-dabba-duda) Have finally arrived

(Schabba-dabba-duda) Finally scrammed again

(Schabba-dabba-duda) Finally non-swimmer, turn on the song

(Schabba-dabba-duda) Jansen and Kowalski are in attendance

(Schabba-dabba-duda) Mate Dendemüller got the tracks

(Schabba-dabba-duda) I ask you people: Wa Wassup?

(Schabba-dabba-duda) Are you with me? Yeah, yeah yeah

You would think it only just swam into my ken, well

But chlorine water always had a bald taste, well

I sit upon my tower, have checked the situation, well

And feeling fine like a bee in clover, well

To be blunt, I loitered in the water myself

It sounds incredible stupid but for sure this is the reason

That today I find this really annoying like a sneeze attack (just translated the meaning)

Finally I am non-swimmer, tschik-e-

tschingderassabumm

(Now the time has come) I swimmed, swam and swom

(Finally) Finally I have arrived

(Finally) Finally I scrammed again (/reclaimed land)

(Finally) Finally non-swimmer turn on the song

(Now the time has come) I swimmed, swam and swom

(Finally) Finally I scrammed again

(Finally) Finally I have arrived

(Finally) Finally non-swimmer turn on the song
