German Translation: No Online Translation, Native Speaker Preferably?

Question

Could someone translate these Pink Floyd lyrics in to german. They are by David Gilmour from Pink Floyd.

There's no way out of here

When you come in

You're in for good

There was no promise made

The part you played

The chance you took

There are no boundaries set

The time and yet

You waste it still

So it slips through your hands

Like grains of sand

You watch it go

If your english is good enough to accurately translate this into German I'll give you 10 points without delay. (24 hours)

Another question. If I wanted to say I AM GOING, would I just say 'ich gehe'. But doesn't that just mean 'I go'?

Answer 1

Sorry, I don't have time to translate the PF song right now :(  Maybe later.

I just wanted to warn you that Katie's translation is pure nonsense--probably from an on-line translator.

As to your second question, yes, that's what you would say, and, yes, it also means "I go."  In standard German, there's no difference between it's raining/it rains or I live/I am living.  

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

2008-08-27: edit, minor changes.

This is kind of a transliteration.

There's no way out of here

▪ Von hier gibt es keinen Weg hinaus.

When you come in

You're in for good

▪ Wenn Du hereinkommst,

▪ dann bist Du für immer hier.

There was no promise made

▪ Es gab kein Versprechen.

The part you played

▪ Die Rolle, die Du spieltest.

The chance you took

▪ Die Gelegenheit, die Du nutztest.

There are no boundaries set

▪ Es gibt keine Grenzen.

The time and yet

You waste it still

▪ Und dennoch vergeudest Du die Zeit.

So it slips through your hands

Like grains of sand

▪ So rinnt sie Dir wie Sand durch die Finger.

You watch it go

▪ Und Du siehst sie entschwinden.

> If I wanted to say I AM GOING, would I just say 'ich gehe'.

> But doesn't that just mean 'I go'?

I second hoptoad's answer.

Answer 3

Es gibt keinen Ausweg von hier,

wenn Sie in Sie

sind innen für gutes dort

waren keine Versprechung kommen, die das

Teil gebildet wird, das Sie die

Wahrscheinlichkeit spielten, Sie dort

sind keine eingestellten Grenzen die

Zeit nahmen, und doch

Sie sie noch vergeuden,

also sie durch Ihre Hände wie

Körner des Sandes gleitet

Sie sie aufpassen zu gehen
