Horst & Monika [explizit] [English translation]

[Verse 1:]

In a country, where people like to complain,

the flag is only flown during the EM. 1

(We’re Germans again and let's not overdo it)

There’s a man of relatively strong stature,

who had an emblem of the NPD on his bomber jacket. 2

"I’ve got friends now, somebody can stand me here!" 3

His name was Horst

and Horst didn’t feel comfortable in his body anymore

he had enough of his ball bag 4

(Pocket pool, always the same) 5

So Horst thought, I’ll just cut it off

step out, turn left-wing, and then I’ll call myself Monica,

(away with the Nazis,

give me the pussy).6

[Chorus:]

Everything is, everything is,

everything is possible if you want.

Everything is, everything is,

everything is possible if you want.

From Horst to Monica, Monica, Monica

from Horst to Monica, Monica, Monica

[Verse 2:]

The best stories are probably still being written.

Th-th-the true life

a seemingly nice little town

with a big right-wing scene.

A few years ago, there was a guy,

who was a member of the NPD

and a known thug. (tadada)

With a swan dive, converted into the opposite sex,

there’s also his right-wing past.

These days, she’s running for the left as a woman7

The bee became a flower, the sky is blue.

[Chorus:]

Everything is, everything is,

everything is possible if you want.

Everything is, everything is,

everything is possible if you want.

[x 2]

From Horst to Monica, Monica, Monica,

From Horst to Monica, Monica, Monica.

[Cro: x2]

From man to woman, from right to left,

out of the darkness, into the daylight

from being dickless, to an icon of tolerance. 8

[x 2]

From Horst to Monica, Monica, Monica,

From Horst to Monica, Monica, Monica.

It was a long way from Horst to Monica,

but when you see what’s possible

then you see that everything works out well!
