Schengen [English translation]

I left from one end of the World;

I was too strong to bow

Amid clouds of dust, at the edge of the Earth -

And I walked all along the roads,

Chest held high in the streams;

Even if the wind listens to us

And the rain will soon fall...

What am I doing here?

I don't know -

I just wanted to stay straight.

What am I doing here?

I don't know -

I've been thinking of you for a thousand years.

So many nights beneath my eyelids,

So many forests cut down,

Even under the gunfire and iron,

I sold them nothing of myself -

Even when in the Schengen Zone,

They had no need of my skin.

What am I doing here?

I don't know -

I just wanted to stay straight.

What am I doing here?

I don't know -

I've been thinking of you for a thousand years.

Neither with their faith nor their fashion -

And to the earth we shall return;

I'm a barbarian with a street organ,

And I'll make their country rot -

And it's neither with the atomic bomb,

Nor with the Tour de France,

That they'll win me to their side,

Once my development is complete.

What am I doing here?

I don't know -

I just wanted to stay straight.

What am I doing here?

I don't know -

I've been thinking of you for a thousand years.
