Denglisch [English translation]

Oh, Lord, please give me my language back

I'm longing for some peace and a little bit of happiness

Let us understand just one word in these difficult times,

Open up our hearts and broaden our minds

I was running to the station and was a little bit too late

My new Swatch said it was just after eight

I was looking for a toilet, but I only found a "McClean"

I still needed a connection and a ticket to Berlin

Kids were sat outside having fun with a joint

I was looking for an info desk but there was only a ServicePoint

My train had unfortunately departed - I could forget about my travelling

I was going to grab some "Hänchen" [chicken], but I was only given McChicken

Oh, Lord, please give me my language back

I'm longing for some peace and a little bit of happiness

Let us understand just one word in these difficult times,

Open up our hearts and broaden our minds

You try to update me, but my feedback turns you off

You say that I urgently need to take a wellness-weekend

You say I'd come with good vibrations back into the flow

You say that I need energy. And I think: "That's what you say."

Instead of "Nachrichten" [news], I get the Infotainment-Flash

I yearn for "Bargeld" [cash], but you just give me cash

I feel as insecure as ever whilst communicating -

A bodyguard won't do for me - I need security!

Oh, Lord, please give me my language back

I'm longing for some peace and a little bit of happiness

Let us understand just one word in these difficult times,

Open up our hearts and broaden our minds

I want the sign for "Coffee.Shop" to change back to "Kaffeehaus"

And also that the "Lufttasche" [airbag] deploys in a car crash

And wouldn't it be nice if we called bodybuilders "Muskel-Mäster"?

And when we're going Nordic walking, it's just running through the country!

Oh Lord, please help, because my language is making me stressed

I'm longing for peace and a bit of happiness

Help us to understand in these difficult times

Open up our hearts and broaden our minds

Oh Lord, please give me my language back

I get here a crisis, man, it has absolutely no point

Let us still a word understand, it goes me on the Ghost

And let Microsoft be renamed "Kleinweich"

Yeah, be renamed "Kleinweich"...
