"Blues in Rot (Singing the blues in red)" This wonderful song is played at the ending of Ken Loach's film "Fatherland" starring Gerulf Pannach. Music by Christian Kunert. Lyrics and performance by Gerulf Pannach. BLUES IN RED (revised) I sing my blues for a man who can tell you How red his dreams were within the ruins where the new buildings emerge now who can tell you of his Fatherland, where no hope was to be seen and which he left without saying goodbye And if you have nowhere to go, you feel the same as me with my blues I sing the Blues in Red for someone who cannot hear me Like a child in the dark who loudely sings a song to himself I sing the Blues in Red I sing my blues for a man who can tell you How red fear can be right before you kick the bucket I sing the Blues in Red. ------------------------------------------- BLUES IN ROT Ich singe meinen Blues fuer einen Mann, der kann erzahl'n, wie rot die Hoffnung war in den Ruinen, dort, wo jetzt die Neubauten stehn, von seinem Heimatland, wo er kein Land sah, ging er ohne Gruss. Wenn du nicht weisst wohin, geht's dir wie mir, mit meinem Blues. Ich sing den Blues in Rot fuer einen, der mich nicht hoert, so wie in der Dunkelheit n'Kind sich laut 'nen Lied singt, sing ich den Blues in Rot. Ich singe den Blues fuer einen Mann, der konnte erzaehl'n davon, wie rot die Angst sein kann, bevor man vor die Hunde geht. Ich sing den Blues in Rot.
