Musik Was mich heute tief berührt hat
Letzte Nacht hatte ich den seltsamsten Traum
Last night I had the strangest dream
Ich hatte jemals zuvor geträumt
I'd ever dreamed before
Ich träumte, die Welt hätte zugestimmt
I dreamed the world had all agreed
Krieg beenden
To put an end to war
Ich träumte, ich hätte einen mächtigen Raum gesehen
I dreamed I saw a mighty room
Gefüllt mit Frauen und Männern
Filled with women and men
Und das Papier, das sie unterzeichneten, sagte
And the paper they were signing said
Sie würden nie wieder kämpfen
They'd never fight again
Und als das Papier unterschrieben war
And when the paper was all signed
Und eine Million Kopien gemacht
And a million copies made
Sie alle legten die Hände zusammen und senkten den Kopf
They all joined hands and bowed their heads
Und dankbare Gebete wurden gebetet
And grateful prayers were prayed
Und die Leute in den Straßen unten
And the people in the streets below
Wir haben 'rund und' rund getanzt
Were dancing 'round and 'round
Während Schwerter und Waffen und Uniformen
While swords and guns and uniforms
Wurden auf dem Boden verstreut
Were scattered on the ground
Letzte Nacht hatte ich den seltsamsten Traum
Last night I had the strangest dream
Ich hatte noch nie geträumt
I'd never dreamed before
Ich träumte, die Welt hätte zugestimmt
I dreamed the world had all agreed
Krieg beenden.
To put an end to war.

Listen, Mr. Bilbo, listen to me
I'll give you a lesson in history
Listen and I'll show you that the foreigners you hate
Are the very same people made America great
In 1492 just to see what he could see
Columbus, an Italian, looked out across the sea
He said, Isabella babe, the world is round
And the U.S.A.'s just a-waiting to be found
In 1609 on a bright summer's day
The Half Moon set anchor in old New York Bay
Henry Hudson, a Dutchman, took a good look around;
He said, "Boys, this is gonna be a helluva town."
Listen, Mr. Bilbo, listen to me
I'll give you a lesson in history
Listen and I'll show you that the foreigners you hate
Are the very same people made America great
When the King of England started pushing Yankees around
We had a little trouble up in Boston town
There was a brave Negro, Crispus Attucks was the man;
Was the first one to fall when the fighting began
Colin Kelly was a pilot flying down low;
Levine pushed the button that let the bomb go
They sunk the Haruna to the bottom of the sea;
It was foreigners like those kept America free
Listen, Mr. Bilbo, listen to me
I'll give you a lesson in history
Listen and I'll show you that the foreigners you hate
Are the very same people made America great
Now Bilbo, you're taking one heck of a chance;
Your good friends, the Duponts, came over from France
Another thing, I'm sure, will be news to you
The first Mister Bilbo was a foreigner, too
Listen, Mr. Bilbo, listen to me
I'll give you a lesson in history
Listen and I'll show you that the foreigners you hate
Are the very same people made America great
Well, you don't like Negroes, you don't like Jews;
If there is anyone you do like, it sure is news
You don't like Poles, Italians, Catholics, too;
Is it any wonder, Bilbo, that we don't like you!
Listen, Mr. Bilbo, listen to me
I'll give you a lesson in history
Listen and I'll show you that the foreigners you hate
Are the very same people made America great.
Hier könnte man anstelle von Mr. Bilbo Mr. Trump einsetzen.
