Öffne Uns Die Tür [English translation]

Kay One:

I wasn’t a good person.

I know what I’ve done, I know what I did.

Oh Father, someday will be pay day, then that’s it.

I’ll say that I wasn’t always good, wasn’t always devoted,

wasn’t nice; respect wasn’t always there;

I get it now. The beggar,

the one who sat here so drenched in the filth there.

I reckon that it was just a test,

I’m a scumbag; a fool, man; I didn’t get it.

I’m young, stupid; forgive me,

forgive me of my sins. I’ve risked too much here.

Yeah, I’ve stolen, I’ve dealt, but I don’t lie.

I hear about heaven and I know I don’t deserve it. 1

My mother cried and my God, yeah, I’m sorry.

I didn’t use my days in school. I wanted to be cool,

grass out, ante up, all the police showed up. 2

I thought I screwed it up,

but they didn’t figure it out, man.

Dear God, I regret my sins,

my deeds, let me into the Garden. 3

Hook:

Bushido:

Open the door for us. Is there a place up there (for us)?

We’re already slowly losing faith

that people like us are even welcome.

But we’ll try it. I wonder if heaven got a ghetto. 4

Kay One:

Open the door for us. Is there a place up there (for us)?

We’re already slowly losing faith,

that people like us are even welcome.

But we’ll try it! I wonder if heaven got a ghetto.

Bushido:

If there’s a ghetto, if there’s a place there?

Sorry, Mama; what did you do to deserve this?

I wasn’t so especially liked in my childhood.

Smoking grass was okay, but not as a child.

I know that everything will someday make sense.

A lot of times I simply felt misunderstood as a child.

The dear Lord couldn’t count my sins.

I’d love to see the future,

but the tears prevent me.

I’m so incredibly sorry.

We often speak of heaven.

I know you’ll never let us in.

How stupid can we be?

We’ve laughed and we’ve cried.

I make my rounds by myself today;

am I asking too much if I ask for mercy?

I’m scared of staring at my coffin for an eternity

and I pray, please take me there.

I’ll even take a seat in the back row.

Bridge x 2:

Bushido:

Good guys go to heaven, but where do

the two of us go?

Kay One:

Why, how come, when? You have never understood us

Bushido:

I was alone my entire life in spite of fame, women, and power.

Bushido & Kay One:

The ghetto in my blood, which I don’t regret is heavy. 5

1. “Paradies” refers to “heaven.” 2. Straight translation: Geld her = money here (hand your money over). The full verb is “hergeben.” “Ante up” is sometimes said during a robbery, meaning to give up anything of value they have. Source: Urban Dictionary. See link below. “Ante up” could refer to either paying for the grass (marijuana) or to a robbery. 3. “Garten” refers to the “Garden of Eden.”4. This line is taken from 2Pac’s song, “I Wonder if Heaven Got a Ghetto,” originally released in October, 1993 as the B-side of “Keep Ya Head Up.” Source: Wikipedia, see link below.5. “Heavy” here means “something really good,” “extraordinary.”
