Ich habe mich vertan (Live) ~ Helge Schneider "I made an (honest) mistake"

Every friday I'm playing the lottery

ticking every number that I know

then I'm going home, sitting down on the couch

watching the TV, switching it on

the announcer tells me completly different numbers than I myself put down...

I made an honest mistake

mistake...

I walk across the market

I'm going shopping, my wife sent me

I forgot the shopping list

I'm buying 200g potatoes and and a double-centner Milano salami

then I'm going home

and get beaten by my wife with the open hand

until the arm breaks

but the only thing I've done wrong:

I made an honest mistake

mistake...

I'm walking into a shop

wanting to buy a nice jacket

the saleswoman takes a newspaper

rolls it together and beats me with it upside the head...

hey what's this then?

the lyrics are totally messed up *

but isn't it nice that I admit it?

I made an honest mistake

mistake...

I'm taking a walk in the park

and I let myself be massaged

I'm lying in the massage room

and play tennis

the tennis ball flys through the sail

and I beat about

against the wind the camel bucks

and I dismount - from the airplane

I made an honest mistake

(to audience:

that was a small fantasy story

where the things don't match)

forgot the text - don't give a sh't

I made an honest mistake

mistake...

* the lyrics are really different from the CD version here, also the last verse is completely new - he's very known for greatly improvising his songs

No, that was not my intention of the thread. If it really bothers you, then just ask a moderator to delete it for you. If not, then post some cool video's, because that was my aim of the thread. I have no problem with it being deleted though, so go ahead.

Weren't you paying attention? Ditch the *&^%$£# apostrophe! :doh:

Yankovic with a Y (he's Canadian too!)

and yeah, I've listened to another J.B.O tune Rock Muzik... it's great!! :grin:

thanks for the tunes, Martin! The ones I mentioned above would definately get my vote if it's ever nominated! :thumbsup:

As for the others, they're just not my style, Die Sterne was the one at the bottom of my list, but thats just imo. :drummer:

ah, of course nobody commented yet, you always seem to want to know the lyrics first, but are just too polite to ask, right? right ;)

okay here goes:

Chan Chan ~ Compay Segundo

De Alto Cedro voy para Marcané

Llego a Cueto voy para Mayarí

El cariño que te tengo

No te lo puedo negar

Se me sale la babita

Yo no lo puedo evitar

Cuando Juanica y Chan Chan

En el mar cernían arena

Como sacudía el ´jibe´

A Chan Chan le daba pena

Limpia el camino de paja

Que yo me quiero sentar

En aquel tronco que veo

Y así no puedo llegar

De Alto Cedro voy para Marcané

Llego a Cueto voy para Mayarí

of course you could have googled for yourself :crazy:

Thanks for listening! It's worth it, sometimes :) I like that song so much because they're both such beautiful langauges and if you look at the translation that's given in the description, you see the lyrics are very nice (understatement) as well.
