Bengalische Tiger [English translation]

[Part 1]

Black hoods, the floodlights are on

Stickers all over - Hooligan

We listen to Bob Marley, Kool & The Gang,

Turn on the boom box - Bababoom, Badabam

We gotta get out of here, it's eating us up, go where it's loud

The backstage bathed in blue light, I need you

Smoke stings our bright red eyes,

We're like dogs, we run over every hurdle

And they're all already getting up in line

When your head is empty, what's a helmet for? -They see

It getting brighter through the dust, this world is so loud

It goes 'Boom', and half of us/them go blind

All I see before me is a horde of zebras,

I can resist to teargas

Stones rain down, they're throwing water too

Every cop is controlled by a bastard

Now we're quoting Goethe, so put your fists up in the air

São Paulo, Paris - yes, now cars are burning once again

Living from the night and into the day,

It's not only our shadows that are black

[Chorus]

And I stand under the red light

Cove me, I've got pyro in my hands

And I stand under the red light

Cove me, I've got pyro in my hands

(If those up there fail,

The air in their lodges will become unbreathable)

Let's go down on the streets,

Let's take back our streets,

Let's get a tattoo of an animal that fits us - a Bengal Tiger

Let's go down on the streets,

Yes, we take back our streets,

Let's get a tattoo of an animal that fits us - a Bengal Tiger

[Part 2]

Either for fun or because they feel like it,

They sully our unpronounceable names

No job, frustration

Hushing up the truth doesn't turn you into artists

Your barricades are just air

Signal lights loading, wait (wait, wait) - Shoot

The street is sinking

We're the witnesses of Mandela, of Martin Luther King

Open the cages, let the white doves fly away

Evolution will be written with a 'R'

Tibet, Stuttgart, Istanbul, Cairo

Anger is flowing in your blood, it goes up your throat,

And your head is exploding

We're celebrating this party, 'cause a victim rules it

Now we're quoting Goethe, so put your fists up in the air

London, Berlin - now cars are burning once again

Living from the night and into the day,

It's not only our shadows that are black

[Chorus]
