Was wird aus Hannover [English translation]

We were like Hanover

Like Chaos Days, unloved

You said I'm the hole in the bucket

I said I'm a sieve

Which will rescue you in the end, no matter where you cry and live

You must never forget: Mousse T. knows Tom Jones

At the train station there's a tower advertising utility vehicles

You were a storm that nobody could hear or sense

A motorbike club is founded

Another is disbanded

You had a life-plan

I had Fury in the Slaughterhouse

What will become of Hanover, once the Scorpions are no more?

And if in the "Wind of Change", we're just a candle in the wind?

You laughed at the Scorpions, but they're in "Stranger Things"

What if we're both like Hanover?

We were like the Kraftwerk expo-jingle1

Short but fatal

Like a Sunday evening after a state election

A tree grows oblique and steady through the German pavilion

Chancellors and presidents sing in the Niedersachsenstadion2

And Trude Herr sings just for us:

"Nobody ever leaves completely"3

Two lost waiters in empty restaurants

A Penny4 is robbed

A barricade burns in the sunshine

Without you I'll always be just outside Hanover

What will become of Hanover, once the Scorpions are no more?

And if in the "Wind of Change", we're just a candle in the wind?

You laughed at the Scorpions, but they're in "Stranger Things"

What if we're both like Hanover?

What will become of Hanover, once the Scorpions are no more?

And if in the "Wind of Change", we're just a candle in the wind?

You laughed at the Scorpions, but they're in "Stranger Things"

What if we're both like Hanover?
