Er war nicht besonders witzig
He wasn't particularly funny
Und er war nicht sehr gut gebaut
And it wasn't very well built
Er hatte keine schicken sachen an
He had no fancy items on
Er war nicht sportlich und nicht laut
He was not athletic and not loud
Stach nicht hervor aus der masse
Don't stand out from the mass
Und die jungs aus seiner klasse
And the guys from his class
Verstanden's einfach nicht
Just don't understand
Denn die mädels zog es trotzdem zu ihm
Because the girls still drew to him
Wie die motten zum licht
How the moths to light
Er war der beste in latein
He was the best in Latin
Der allerbeste in latein
The very best in Latin
Wie er die verben konjugierte
How he conjugated the verbs
Substantive deklinierte
Nouns declinated
Das konnt' nur er allein
Only he alone can do that
Er war exakt wie 'ne maschine
He was exactly like 'ne machine
Er wusste sogar, wenn er schlief
He even knew when he slept
Auf a, ab, e, ex, de, cum, sine
On a, ab, e, ex, de, cum, sine
Und pro und prae folgt ablativ
And pro and prae follows ablatively
Er rezitierte ganze fabeln
He recited whole fables
Beherrschte die vokabeln
Dominated the vokabeln
Und war immer hellwach
And was always awake
Und die mädels aus der klasse
And the girls from the class
Wurden reihenweise schwach
Were weak in series
Er war der beste in latein
He was the best in Latin
Er schrieb nur einsen oder zwei'n
He wrote only one or two'n
Und sang er ein klagelied
And he sang a lamentation song
Von horaz oder von ovid
From horaz or from ovid
Fing'n die mädels an zu weinen
Caught the girls crying
Bridge
Doch dann bekam er sein latinum
But then he got his latinum
Sein leben nahm 'ne böse wende
His life took 'ne evil turn
Denn dadurch war er in der schule
Because that's why he was in school
Mit sein'm latein total am ende
With his'm latin totally at the end
Er war der beste in latein
He was the best in Latin
Er schrieb nur einsen oder zwei'n
He wrote only one or two'n
Und sang er ein klagelied
And he sang a lamentation song
Von horaz oder von ovid
From horaz or from ovid
Fing'n die mädels an zu weinen
Caught the girls crying
Er war der beste in latein
He was the best in Latin
Er war experte unter laien
He was an expert among laymen
Wie er die verben konjugierte
How he conjugated the verbs
Substantive deklinierte
Nouns declinated
Das konnt' nur er allein
Only he alone can do that
Er war der beste in latein
He was the best in Latin
