You went in the beetle to Paris
I in the Trabbi in the Balaton.
We believed
behind the horizon it goes on and on.
We smoked
square and F6
you the smell of the big wide world.
You were never probably really rich
however, also never broke.
The life started.
Since we were blood-young
our thoughts freely.
If the other world was also foreign to us
and if walls have separated us
in the heart we were always one.
Yes we were blood-young
and our dreams immediately.
On the roofs of Berlin
if we saw the sun moving west
and the sky undivided.
We had
savings water and Jähn
and you
the emperor and Lindenberg.
And, nevertheless: At that time I already heard
your
'puppy love'.
We lived self-confidently and freely
and dreamed us along the dream.
In the Helmstedt ended the world however, behind the horizon
if it went on - for us.
Since we were blood-young
our thoughts freely.
If other world was also foreign to us
and if walls have separated us
in the heart we were always one.
Yes we were blood-young
and our dreams immediately.
On the roofs of Berlin
if we saw the sun moving west
and the sky undivided.
Yes we were blood-young
and our dreams immediately.
On the roofs of Berlin
if we saw the sun moving west
and we felt unlimitedly.
Since we were blood-young
our thoughts freely.
If the other world was also foreign to us
and if walls have separated us
in the heart we were always one.
Yes we were blood-young
and our dreams immediately.
On the roofs of Berlin
if we saw the sun moving west
and the sky undivided.
Vysvětlivky z lidské ruky:
square = v originále "Karo", jedna z mála povolených a sehnatelných značek cigaret v NDR, stejně jako F6 vedle
savings water = není míněna voda, se kterou by bylo nutno šetřit - v originále se vyskytující Sparwasser je v tomto případě jméno slavného východoněmeckého fotbalisty, Jähn zmíněný hned vedle je Siegmund Jähn, německý protějšek našeho Vladimíra Remka
the emperor = zde Franz Beckenbauer, další slavný fotbalista, tentokrát z druhé strany železné opony, dnes fotbalový funkcionář, (Udo) Lindenberg - rocker, co mu soudruzi z NDR pořád zakazovali vystupovat, proti čemuž se ohradil písní Zvláštní vlak na Pankow ( = tehdejší vládní čtvrť ve východním Berlíně)
puppy love = mladá láska, narážka na stejnojmenný (vlastně doslova "láska mládeže") dřívější hit Ute Freudenberg
In (the) Helmstedt ended the world - Helmstedt bylo poslední sídlo na západní straně
největšího dálničního přechodu do NDR
