Gertrud [English translation]

[Chorus]

Gertrud was the only one that understood

The other teachers, they said I was a mess

If Gertrud was not worn and old now

I would have made her my bride

Ger-Ger-Gertrud

Ger-Ger-Gertrud

[Verse 1]

The inspector said, Abdi has ADHD

But Gertrud said: "No, you made a mistake, he just has a lot of energy"

And I always got 02, but Gertrud she gave me 10 - she said: "Abdi

You mustn't end up on the street - There's so much that you can be"

But I said: "Gertrud, I want to be rich

I don't want to go to school - I want to be free"

I want to make para*, I will be G

And rap like 2Pac and Biggie

But Gertrud said, "Abdi, there is something, you must understand

2Pac and Biggie they were not really smart"

So if you want to be like those two

You must first learn to read in a book - Gertrud was spot on"

[Chorus]

Gertrud was the only one that understood

The other teachers, they said I was a mess

If Gertrud was not worn and old now

I would have made her my bride

Ger-Ger-Gertrud

Ger-Ger-Gertrud

[Bridge]

Uh na na, uh na na

She didn't ring my papa

Uh na na na na na na

Not even when I stole the para

Uh na na, uh na na

She didn't ring my papa

Uh na na na na na na

Not even when I stole the para

[Verse 2]

The inspector said: "Hassan he must change schools"

[Hassan] "Aww what is that you're saying man?"

But Gertrud had his back

But Gertrud had his back

The inspector said, "Hassan he is insane"

But Gertrud made him comfortable

Gertrud made him comfortable

Though we have grown up

We will never forget, what Gertrud did

She was there for us, so much like my mum

And we will always remember her words

Because she said, "You mustn't become criminals

Believe in your dreams and believe in your self

Ideally in school than to sit in a cell"

Gertrud was spot on yes, yes she had so much to tell

[Chorus]

Gertrud was the only one that understood

The other teachers, they said I was a mess

If Gertrud was not worn and old now

I would have made her my bride

Ger-Ger-Gertrud

Ger-Ger-Gertrud

[Bridge]

Uh na na, uh na na

She didn't ring my papa

Uh na na na na na na

Not even when I stole the para

Uh na na, uh na na

She didn't ring my papa

Uh na na na na na na

Not even when I stole the para

[Hassan] "Don't turn off the music man, turn it on again"

[Chorus]

Gertrud was the only one that understood

The other teachers, they said I was a mess

If Gertrud was not worn and old now

I would have made her my bride

Ger-Ger-Gertrud

Ger-Ger-Gertrud

Ger-Ger-Gertrud

Ger-Ger-Gertrud

[Outro: Hassan]

Aww Gertrud, Gertrud

I love you, Gertrud

Hassan, Hassan, ooh

Yeah
