   • 1981, “Jraaduss”‎performed by BAP:

     Manchmol setz ich eröm un ich frooch mich, woröm
     Et su kumme mot, wie et kom, wie et jetz es.
     Un ich saach mer, datt et irjendwo wiggerjonn moss – jradus.

     Sometimes I sit around and I wonder why
     It had to come the way it came, the way it is now.
     And I tell myself that somehow it has to go on – straight ahead.
