Hier sind wir [English translation]

he we are & we believe in things

from that out with the barrow

out of the dirt, it must go

there is only one thing we want

that we're first in the trip

we'll overrun you

it was a year ago, Jens & Matthias came to me

through the door

& said

here we are

& we want to stay a while

spend some time

& write the new Die Prinzen hit together

then Ali came along

& I said: you

with us makes four

I was curious to see what happened

but then we didn't compose anything

just thrashed things around

we were frustrated

but then it happened

Jens sat across from me

& it was cramped there

suddenly it went bang

he went to the piano

Und spielte diesen Refrain

& played this refrain

well we've been hearing the questions

from various people

what's that supposed to mean, they'll say

what are the things, which barrow

must go & out of which dirt

& for what reason

so we've had a scare

but then we sang the chorus

of this song to an old familiar

record boss

& he got it, was all ears

& said we would land a huge hit with it

Please sing it again

& he sang along without any prompting

it was after all no different for us than for everyone else

everyone's happy to do a favour for his boss

we don't know, how you are with it

because to this day nobody understands these words

to be sure it's artfully framed with our vocal harmonies

but we're still looking for cohesion

so firstly, don't worry about it

& in waking moments whip out your pens

& send us cards

we're waiting for your report

whether you're pleased or not

when someone says it's rubbish, preferably be quiet

we're nowhere near quiet

we're simply living in a free land

we're charming & tolerant

& here everyone can sing what he wants

oh man – you have no choice – never mind

we'll just sing it again
