Germania

From far afield it is not possible
To know how it is in Germania1
From home to work, from work to home
It is not possible to learn the language of Germania like this
 
It's been fifteen years far afield, being a hired hand for Deutsche Mark
Germania, give my years back
It's been fifteen years far afield, being a hired hand for Deutsche Mark
Germania, give my years back
 
Here is Ahmet, there is Ayşe, that's them who are here
Tens of thousands of Gastarbeiter2 from Turkey
Our children were born here, they are growing up here
They forgot "merhaba"3, they keep saying "grüß Gott"4 instead
 
It's been fifteen years far afield, being a hired hand for Deutsche Mark
Germania, give my words back
It's been fifteen years far afield, being a hired hand for Deutsche Mark
Germania, give my words back
 
Ever since I came here, I've been a hired hand for Deutsche Mark
It is as if that's my own life that goes with the flow of the band5
Tin dust, zinc dust, that's what we keep inhaling, what else to do?
That's how you lose your lungs
 
It's been fifteen years far afield, being a hired hand for Deutsche Mark
Germania, give my breath back
It's been fifteen years far afield, being a hired hand for Deutsche Mark
Germania, give my breath back
 
You're in need of me, I'm in need of you
Otherwise neither you'd call me, nor would I come
I'm Eastern, I'm Asian, I'm from Turkey
I'm enraged, I'm jealous, that's who I am
 
It's been fifteen years far afield, being a hired hand for Deutsche Mark
Germania, give my years back
It's been fifteen years far afield, being a hired hand for Deutsche Mark
Germania, give my years back
It's been fifteen years far afield, being a hired hand for Deutsche Mark
