Berlin [English translation]

I can remember

the divided city well,

the time of the cold warriors

that had many scars

The borders became gates

In a night of jubilation,

freedom was reborn

and shone in all its glory

There was a new horizon

A new future in sight

We sunned ourselves in the intoxication of freedom

Were drunk on happiness

But when one is sober again,

and the daily routine wakes us,

With many only the longing and the sight remain behind

I have not forgotten the time,

and where I came from,

I have sung, loved, and danced

but wanderlust was always there

There was a new horizon

A new future in sight

We sunned ourselves in the intoxication of freedom

Were drunk on happiness

But when one is sober again,

and the daily routine wakes us,

With many only the longing and the sight remain behind
