Hier sind wir [English translation]

Here We Are

Die Prinzen

Translation to English by R. von Schmalz

Here are we, and we believe in the thing, off for it, and out in the cart,

On the dirt it will go, it only gives one, what we want

We are first in the ride, we are going to overrun you

It was a year ago that Jens and Mathias came to me

By the door, they said: Here are we

And we want to stay for a while, to kill some time

And write with you the new hit for Die Prinzen

Then Ali joined us and I said: with you, we are four

I am curious, what is happening, but then we did not compose

But only discussed as always

We were already a little frustrated but then it happened

Jens sat down across from me and we became close together, suddenly it came to him

He went to the piano and played this refrain

Here are we, and we believe in the thing, off for it, and out in the cart,

On the dirt it will go, it only gives one, what we want

We are first in the ride, we are going to overrun you

Well, now we already hear the questions from different people

What is the meaning of what you say? What is this thing about which cart?

What will go and on which dirt for which purpose?

That got us terrified, but then we sang this song in chorus

To an old well-known record company boss

And he understood it – he was all ears and said: we have here a giant hit

Sing it once again please, and he sang along without being asked to

Here are we, and we believe in the thing

Here are we, and we believe in the thing, off for it, and out in the cart,

On the dirt it will go, it only gives one, what we want

We are first in the ride, we are going to overrun you

However, we are not different from others in the end

Everyone sometimes pleases his boss

We don’t know, though, how it works with us because until today none of us understands the lyrics

It is of course artistically framed in our singing

But we are still looking for the connection

Begin to make you thoughts and in moments of awareness

To make drawings and send us cards

We wait for your report if it pleases us or not

If someone says: that is shit - be nicely calm – we haven’t been gentle in a long time

We just live in a free country, we are charming and tolerant

And here everyone can sing, what he wants, oh man you have no other choice

We simply sing it again

Here are we, and we believe in the thing, off for it, and out in the cart,

On the dirt it will go, it only gives one, what we want

We are first in the ride, we are going to overrun you
