German to English translation please.

[Rorschach]

Well my grandmother just gave me an old OLD beer stien and it has a bit of German text on it. Saddly I know nothing of the German language other then this is the only way I want to hear the song 99 Luft Ballons. If anyone can let me know what this says I would be thankful.

The top reads:
"Wer Ruhig Will Ins Wirtshaus Gahn"

And the bottom reads:
"Des Hauses Schlussel Muss Bei Sigh Han"

I was also able to get another one that has 2 little phrases on it that say:

"Die grune Heid" and "Des Jagers Freud"

Again any help would be great.

"Wer Ruhig Will Ins Wirtshaus Gahn"

"Ye who wants to calmly enter the pub ..."

"Des Hauses Schlussel Muss Bei Sigh Han"

Either it's some dialect, or there are letters missing.
Anyway, to continue the above sentance:
"... must bring his house-key."

Or, to make more sense of it:

"Don't go drinking unless you bring the keys to your house, for no one would want to let you back in once you are drunk!"

""Die grune Heid" and "Des Jagers Freud"

The green meadow is the hunters delight.

For future reference:

http://babelfish.altavista.com/ is a very good site for translating almost anything.

Or just listen to Ramms+ein for a couple of years and learn the entire language.

YOU HATE ME

It's actually a play on words. The actual lyrics are

Du
Du hast
Du hast mich
Du hast gefragt und ich hab' nein gesagt

hast translates to 'did', though there is the German hasst (or haßt (depreciated)), which translates to 'hate'

The pronounciation for 'hast' and 'hasst' is interchangable, which means only the context determines the meaning of the spoken word, which is why the song works as most assume the singer is talking about someone hating him, when in reality he is talking about his girl asking him to marry him (yeah, the girl asked, they are German, what can you say?), and he said no. Of course the suspense is only killing you the first time around.

Ja, das hab' ich schon gedacht!

 

[Rorschach]

Well, if you want, I can have a friend take some pics of it and i'll post it for all to see, and yeah i believe it is very old. Atleast thats what my grandma said.

OMG :O
muwahahah... dann kann ich mich ab so fort ja bei dir auf deutsch über blödmänner wie den typen auf meiner ignorelist beschweren

.... warum hab ich dann keinen Sonderstatus bei dir <.<

 

[Sculli]

Ey, die koennen die ganze sache ja immer noch durch den uebersetzer jagen, also besser aufpassen. spezialtitel kann ich ja anlegen, kein problem, einfach ne PM senden und dann geht das schon.

 

[Chiimi]

naaa... diese translator sind.. naja... hast schon mal probiert ?
ok.. ich bin immer noch etwas überrascht, weil ich nicht damit gerechnet hab XD

die ganze sache wertet das forum hier für mich doch nun um einiges auf ^^

 

[Sculli]

LOL
Das wird schon noch mit dem forum, die leute werden sich beruhigen und dann wirds auch wieder lustig. Jetzt muss ich aber ins bett, zehn stunden zeitunderschied zu deutschland, und ich muss morgen frueh raus.

Vorwaerts Immer, Rueckwaerts Nimmer!
... wenn dir was was sagt, lol.

 

[Rorschach]

You know, the more i look at it, I think it IS "Sich Han". The way that the stien was made, i must have mistaken the "C" for a "G". All the lettering is in capitols, so its easy to mistake the 2.

 

[Schon]

</huh?!> Are you talking about me? lol j/k

 

[Tagrineth]

Pc+1 Ftw

Haßt also means love.
