Living and playing in Aotearoa
Mein Fahrradby Die Prinzen
Just the other day I was riding my bicycle around at 120 (This is a joke! It is not to be taken literally. Even on the Autobahn, German bikes do not go that fast!)And as always I could only hopeThat the police wouldn't stop meBecause then I'd have to pay a fineAnd they'd interrogate meAnd my poor little bicycleWould end up alone in front of the door
Oh how I love my bicycleWhy, I do not knowI am faithful to my bicycleIn contrast to my wifeI will never leave itI will never walk away from itWe fly around as if on cloudsBecause we understand each other so well
Every snot drives an OpelEvery ape drives a FordEvery idiot drives a PorscheEvery ass an Audi SportEvery crazy drives a MantaEvery goober JaguarOnly connoisseurs ride a bicycleAnd always get there faster
My bicycle is not purpleBecause that doesn't turn me on at allIt is also not brownBecause I can't stand brownNo, I've painted it blueFrom the saddle to the tubesAnd I think that's very appropriateBecause some days I am blue too ("blue" in German is drunk)
And here is the original on the RIGHT side of the road:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fY24qc7woW4
Ha, ha - Andy's riding a road bike!
I couldn't tell - did he also shave his legs?I "love" the music. Check out some of their videos on Youtube if you get a chance. They give a strange impression of Germany... Now I understand why my German friends ended up the way they did.I can't decide which song is my favorite: "Deutschland" or "Kuessen verboten".
OMG - those videos are hilarious! I didn't expect them to be on Youtube. Haven't heard this song in years: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5Ackbtn5bUThanks Jason!And FYI: Andy is now able to balance himself on the bike but has a hard time keeping up due to the air resistance from all those leg hairs. He is not convinced it makes a difference so I am inviting a smooth-legged friend along for the next ride. Stay tuned...
Oooo! This has always been a favorite song of mine! Especially when I'm biking! Good for you for translating - I can't hear it in English.
Tour de Otago! See all the colours! What colours!? Bah! Ring ring!hehe.. I think you need a pump cam.
I love the translation Heike! Merry Christmas - we miss you here in Alaska!
