Nur ein Augenblick [English translation]

You are young, black hair, brown eyes, dark skin,

Believe me, I’m familiar with these shitty looks, too,

This definitely “You shit cockroach* look”,

But that is not Germany, That’s just a moment.

You are young, black hair, brown eyes, dark skin,

Believe me, I’m familiar with these shitty looks, too,

This definitely “You shit cockroach* look”,

But that is not Germany, That’s just a moment.

Why do you live in this land over 10 years,

Perhaps longer and nevertheless don’t speak the German language,

You say Germans are shit, German women are smuts,

Do Germany a favor and leave,

This country doesn’t need people who don’t want it,

There are enough people who don’t know where they should be,

You are lucky to be here so behave yourself,

Do your work, grow up, don’t be childlike,

Whether Turkish, African, Arab, or Indian,

If you don’t know where the airport is—I’ll bring you,

Pay for your flight and souvenirs, okay,

Because then when you are there you’ll definitely be homesick for Germany,

I believe some don’t know how good they have it here,

I think that where you come from you have absolutely nothing to say,

Shame on you to speak so badly about Germany,

If you really think about it, It’s nice living in Germany.

Refrain:

You are young, black hair, brown eyes, dark skin,

Believe me, I’m familiar with these shitty looks, too,

This definitely “You shit cockroach* look”,

But that is not Germany, That’s just a moment.

You are young, black hair, brown eyes, dark skin,

Believe me, I’m familiar with these shitty looks, too,

This definitely “You shit cockroach* look”,

But that is not Germany, That’s just a moment.

What is that shit? How ignorant must you be?

You don’t want to learn German but stay in Germany,

That’s too much for me, I don’t understand it,

Can you please explain to me? Oops, I can’t understand you,

And then you keep yourself under, You can’t speak German,

But you know that is nothing new,

And then these Germans with their customs,

Eating pork, drinking beer with fat bellies,

Germans are all Nazis? Hmm, really?

If all Germans are Nazis then why do you want to live here?

And don’t say you can’t leave because that’d be lying,

The ones going home will be deported,

There are exceptions who will drive home,

But they definitely don’t say “German is a shitty country”,

Germany is generous and has a great heart,

Here there is lots to laugh about and just as much pain,

Refrain:

You are young, black hair, brown eyes, dark skin,

Believe me, I’m familiar with these shitty looks, too,

This definitely “You shit cockroach* look”,

But that is not Germany, That’s just a moment.

You are young, black hair, brown eyes, dark skin,

Believe me, I’m familiar with these shitty looks, too,

This definitely “You shit cockroach* look”,

But that is not Germany, That’s just a moment.

If you don’t like it here, go somewhere else,

If I were blond with blue eyes, you’d say I am a Nazi,

But I see and hear how you talk about Germany,

If you can’t go back to the war, I can understand,

But you have to behave yourself, it simply is so,

If you don’t see yourself as a German, it is simply so,

Be proud of your roots, stick your chest out and keep going,

But you can’t live here and say everything is bad,

And think that one is also still nice to you,

Above all things, if you don’t respect Germany,

That doesn’t fly, You know it, he knows it, she knows it,

Everyone knows it, and you and Germany will never work,

It’s a give and take as one who maintains it knows,

You can’t expect, that a country gives you something,

I know it sounds crazy, I’m proud to be a German,

Am a patriot, and have a healthy portion of national consciousness.

Refrain:

You are young, black hair, brown eyes, dark skin,

Believe me, I’m familiar with these shitty looks, too,

This definitely “You shit cockroach* look”,

But that is not Germany, That’s just a moment.

You are young, black hair, brown eyes, dark skin,

Believe me, I’m familiar with these shitty looks, too,

This definitely “You shit cockroach* look”,

But that is not Germany, That’s just a moment.

That is not Germany x5

That's just a moment.
