Wir sind wir [English translation]

Day by day, year by year

When I'm walking along this street

I'm seeing the ruins crowing up to houses

Many windows still stay empty

There was no return for many people

About the things what just happened

No one speaks about it anymore

But I'm still asking who we are

We're what we are

We're standing here

Divided, defeated and else

We are still alive!

We're what we are

We're standing here

It can't be over yet

No time for sadness

We're what we are

We're standing here

We're what we are

We thought 'resurrection from the ruins'

Dreams had to come true

40 years of united power

We made ashes into gold

Now everything changed

Things from the past are worthless today

Now we can get everything

But didn't we want more than that?

And I'm asking where we are

We're what we are

We're standing here

Reunited in one country

Rich and burned out

We're what we are

We're standing here

we're not going down

No time to be angry

We're what we are

We're standing here

We're what we are

We're what we are

Divided, defeated and else

Finally, we still exist!

We're what we are

We will get over it

Because life has to go on

We're what we are

This is just a bad phase

We will never give up!
