Heimweh nach Heimat [English translation]

No sound ringing anymore

My voice shatters

Everything clean and cold

Thus sentiment becomes violence.

Money is everything that counts

And the Change has been voted for.

All the streets are alien

There is no house where I'm known

I'm homesick

For home

Wherever that may be

And the words of Strauß1

And the "Foreigners out".

Every Turk one too many

No asylum for them.

"Go over to the other side, you pig"

Says a man who is drunk

Swastika on the wall

A stone in my hand

I'm homesick

For home

Wherever that may be

Surrounded by missiles

Dead rain falling down

And with angelic patience

We build up more debt

And no room for warmth.

I'm scared, even in my dreams

I have a yearning, want to go away

And yet I don't know a place

I'm just homesick

For home

Wherever that may be.

Home

Wherever that may be.

Home

Where may it be?
