Bombe [English translation]

When some parents dare

to hit their kids,

then I would like…

When Jan doesn’t taste the food

and chucks it away,

then I would like…

When nothing works at a party

because everyone is drunk,

then I would like…

When Hanni messes around the first night

without a condom, then I would like…

Refrain:

Then I would like to be a bomb and simply explode,

When all the people scream “Help!” then something would happen.

Sometimes I would like to burst with a loud bang,

And everything that is not right would fall to pieces.

I call on you at night,

you don’t go ahead,

then I would like…

When I have to see

you give Achim a kiss,

then I would like…

When you don’t like my butt,

but only my money,

then I would like…

When I am totally loving to you,

and you say, “That’s just an urge!”

then I would like…

Refrain

I won’t let myself be defused just to please you.

No, sometimes I want to burst onto everyone!

If something gets on your nerves and drives you crazy,

then you will be a bomb that dangerously ticks!

You smear a hollow Nazi slogan on the wall,

then I would like…

When you call someone a “Kanacke”1 because you can’t understand his speech,

then I would like…

When you want to hit everyone in the face and are quite brown in the head,2

then I would like…

When you shave your head and march in lockstep,

then I would like…

Refrain

1. Derogatory name for people of Turkish descent2. I translated this literally, but I think it's an idiom. Help, please.
