Alemania [English translation]

(Part I)

Yeah this is Mustafa, made in the '70's

And lately he hasn't been getting along with his wife

She's stressing, money's getting tighter all the time

And before I forget, he'll be a father again soon

All these arguments, does this shit have to be?

Honey, we'll never have another fight about money

Totally resolved, he finds himself a gun

I'll rob a bank, or else I'll go down here

In front of the bank he says, I'm doing this for my wife

He breathes in once, and then he lets it out

Everything's flying by him, he's got the gun between his legs

Thinks about his family and doesn't have the heart to do it

I'd rather work more and drive in the night shift

Before I leave my wife alone and end up sitting in the can

Climbs into his taxi, I almost screwed it up

Drives into the night and stops downtown

Three teenagers get in, he hits the gas right away

Looks at his watch, it was his last trip

Arriving at the boys' stop, they just run away

He pulls out his gun and shoots at the three

(Hook)

It's fate, life is always

Today you're poor, tomorrow you're a millionaire

Some have nothing, others are eating caviar

That's Germany!

It's fate, life isn't always fair

Today you have nothing, yesterday you were a millionaire

Welcome, between welfare and bathing in champagne

That's Germany!

(Part II)

This is Samir, a boy who was eighteen years old at the time

And always came to class with a smart mouth

In the afternoon, on the go with the boys

Don't give a crap about school, they're all about bullshit

And actually Samir is one of the better kids

But he's misled and does all that shit with them

Today should be just the same

He starts off smoking pot in the park with his friends

Half past seven, drunk through town

And Samir actually knows what he's doing wrong

But fuck it, I'm doing this for my boys

And they beat some others up for no reason at all

For Samir and the rest, a very normal Friday

Parties, drugs, fighting and girls

Before the cops come, they've got to get out of here

No money in their pockets, but hop in a taxi

When they get to their place, they just run away

The taxi driver grabs his gun and aims at the three

He shoots, shoots, shoots and hits Samir

Welcome to Germany!

(Hook)

It's fate, life is always fair

Today you're poor, tomorrow you're a millionaire

Some have nothing, others are eating caviar

This is Germany!

It's fate, life isn't always fair

Today you have nothing, yesterday you were a millionaire

Welcome, between welfare and bathing in champagne

This is Germany!

It's fate, life is always fair

Today you're poor, tomorrow you're a millionaire

Some have nothing, others are eating caviar

This is Germany!

It's fate, life isn't always fair

Today you have nothing, yesterday you were a millionaire

Welcome, between welfare and bathing in champagne

This is Germany!
