Helmut K.

Hannelores Tag ist grau,
denn Helmut Kohl schlägt seine Frau!
 
Es macht die Runde in der Koalition,
selbst Rita Süssmuth weiß es schon.
 
Hannelores Tag ist grau,
denn Helmut Kohl schlägt seine Frau!
 
Neulich ließ die Hannelore mal etwas auf dem Teller,
zur Strafe lud sie Helmut ein, in seinen Folterkeller.
 
Er ist ein Mann wie ich und du,
und Helmut Kohl schlägt wieder zu!
 
Hannelore ist allein,
sie wollte doch nur glücklich sein
Niemand hat davon gewußt.
Er kneift ihr in die linke Brust.
 
Er ist ein Mann genau wie wir,
tief in ihm da steckt ein Tier,
Doch nachts hinter verschlossenen Türen,
kriegt seine Frau den Wolf zu spüren.
 
Er ist ein Mann wie ich und du,
und Helmut Kohl schlägt wieder zu!
 
Hannelore, Hannelore, Hannelore Kohl (2x)
Hannelore (wdh.)
 
Er ist ein Mann wie ich und du,
und Helmut Kohl schlägt wieder zu!
 
Translation

Helmut K.

Hannelore's day is gray,
Because Helmut Kohl hits his wife!1
 
It's going around the coalition2
Even Rita Süssmuth knows.
 
Hannelore's day is gray
Because Helmut Kohl hits his wife!
 
Recently Hannelore left something on her plate,
As punishment Helmut invited her into this torture chamber
 
He's a man like you and I,
And Helmut Kohl strikes again!
 
Hannelore is alone,
She only wanted to be happy
No one had known
That he pinches her in the left breast.
 
He's a man just like us,
There's an animal deep inside him,
But at night, behind closed doors,
His wife feels the wolf.
 
He's a man like you and I,
And Helmut Kohl strikes again!
 
Hannelore, Hannelore, Hannelore Kohl (2x)
Hannelore (repeats)
 
He's a man like you and I,
And Helmut Kohl strikes again!
 
  • 1. Helmut Kohl is a former prime minister of Germany. Hannelore is the name of his wife. As to whether or not he actually beat his wife, I have no idea. The wiki page on him says his wife committed suicide suffering from photodermatitis, a so-called photoallergy. It might be the band is satirizing this explanation for the suicide, suggesting that in actually Helmut had been beating his wife.
  • 2. a political coalition, when several political parties joined together in an effort to get a majority in a parliment
