Anis Ferchichi [English translation]

Do you know that my real name is here,

which people barely know, so listen to what I say:

Ferchichi,

and I was called Bushido for years,

by most of the kids, I’m known as a hero here, but

Ferchichi

is my name in real life,

not a brand name and business,

like my father’s called, now I’m just

Ferchichi,

on tour, 24/7,

didn’t get my diploma as a persona, but rather 1

Ferchichi

I knew I’d become filthy rich,

but I stay the same,

and my child’s name is also

Ferchichi

You will hear from a rapper in Berlin,

but just one name appears on a formal letter:

Ferchichi

I’m one, who you recognize day and night,

but I’m really just a very normal guy 2

Ferchichi

I’ve had enough of playing hide and seek,

I wear my name with pride; my name is

Ferchichi.

[Hook:]

Do you know who I am?

Anis Ferchichi.

The most famous artist from Berlin City.

I’m getting my albums ready; I’m pushing them3

and I’ve got to tell you something noteworthy.

Do you know who I am?

Anis Ferchichi.

You realized it just now when the camera wasn’t rolling.

The rappers aren’t honest, forget them,

I’m telling you my real name:

Ferchichi.

Oh, how nice (it is) that no one knows

that in reality I’m not called Bushido,

Ferchichi

Sometimes I want peace from the artist’s name

I want that my wife and children take my name

Ferchichi

but I don’t want to throw in the towel

I was born with this name, after all

Ferchichi

A pseudonym doesn’t make you tough

I sign my recording contract with

Ferchichi

Before you get thrown out of the game, 4

I’ll tell you real quick what my last name is:

Ferchichi

Bushido is Japanese and not Chinese,

but my real name, Tunisian

Ferchichi

I’ve revealed what my name is to you

my fans ‘cause you’re my friends.

Ferchichi

I promise I will always be there for you,

but someday it will be on my tombstone

Ferchichi

the door is closed at home, it’s time for

Ferchichi.

No, I’m not Dennis the Menace.

I almost missed my release date again,

but one word is printed on my passport,

Ferchichi.

Arschkarte kreigst: this is a reference to receiving a red card (ejection from the game) in Füßball (and other ball sports). Red cards are kept in the back pants pocket, therefore the “Arschkarte.”
