Wir sind wir [English translation]

Day by day, year by year

When I walk through the streets

I see the ruins of this city

Arise to houses again

But many windows stay empty

For many there's no return

And about the things that have just been

One does rather not talk about today anymore

But I ask, I ask myself who we are

We are ourselves! We stand here!

Divided, defeated and still

We are yet alive

We are ourselves! We stand here!

That could not yet be everything

No time to be sad

We are ourselves! We stand here!

We are ourselves!

Arisen from ruins we thought

We had made a dream come true

40 years we pulled together

Out of ashes we've made gold

Now everything is different once again

And what existed before, is not worth anything today

Now we can have what we want

But didn't we actually want more?

We are ourselves! We stand here!

Again united in one country

Superrich and completely broke

We are ourselves! We stand here!

So fast nobody can defeat us

No time to feel bitter

We are ourselves

Divided, defeated and still

We exist

We are ourselves

And we'll survive it

Because life has to go on

We are ourselves

That's just some kind of back luck

So fast we'll not give up now
