Auf der Flucht [English translation]
Auf der Flucht [English translation]
Dogs barking, men calling,
At the market everyone's bellowing
Leave the shoe-they're gonna get ya
The score would just slow you
Left the alley by, right, the main street
blocked, damn it, the wall's too high.
Bailiffs, patrollers, men of the people
For my hideout, one of the small corners
[Refrain:]
On the run!
Of mercy, the king doesn't have a trace
On the run!
A master thief has no face
On the run!
By night like a shadow I stalk
At danger, a true thief will never balk
My breathing is heavy, my heart is racing
The whole land knows of my thievery
From every pinch, I've come out laughing
But today it's my neck the hangman'll cinch
"The beggar-where is he?", I hear voices
Every person in town is after me.
Uncovered, unmasked, it's happened again
Once again, to run I'm forced
[Refrain:]
Doors close with a clack, stones fly with a whiz
The guards follow me on horseback
I see the forest at last, my escape is close
And suddenly my heart beats around an arrow's shaft
I fall to the earth, warm and soft
much too young for a heavenly hearth
Could it be? Angel voices
already calling after me?
[Refrain:]
