D'Allemagne [English translation]

Farewell Lili Marlene

Tell me again of the roses of Gottingen

That come with me to the other Germany

A time when doves and eagles fly on

Of Germany, where I listen to rain in interludes

Of Germany, where I hear rock music in silence

Of Germany, where I've memories inevitable

Where I have (my) childhood memories

The Leninplatz and Anatole France

In Germany, the past history is a scandal

In Germany, the future is an adventure

Of Germany, I know those forbidden thoughts

I know where the guns sleep

I know where the excuses end

Farewell Lili Marlene

Tell me again of the roses of Gottingen

That come with me to the other Germany

A time when doves and eagles fly on

Which side of The Wall reassures you?

Of Germany I have tales of a true love

I soar on the songs of Apollinaire

In Germany, romanticism is more brutal

The violins play much slower

So common in Viennese waltzes

Farewell Lili Marlene

Tell me again of the roses of Gottingen

That come with me to the other Germany

A time when doves and eagles fly on

Which side of The Wall reassures you?

I have a little wild flower

A flame that flourishes amongst the clouds

Of Germany, I have a little flower in my heart

That since is the notion of happiness

And that will grow as though (it were) a tree

Farewell Lili Marlene…
