Schwarz zu blau [English translation]

Come out of the club, it was a good time

I reek of alcohol, I'm broken, what a beautiful life

Step over schnapps corpses (peoplepassed out from drinking schnapps) that block my way

I see the rats eating themselves fat

In the shadows of the Döner shops

Stomp through the vomit by the Kotti, junkies are dazed

Guys partying in the neighborhood, acting wrong

Snooty kids on a desperate search for the subculture

Pierced chicks that want me to read "Straßenfeger"

Half past five, my eyes burn

Step on a guy who's napping between dead pigeons

Hysterical chicks argue and are in a panic cause

On the corner there's beef between Tarek and Sam

Tarek says, "Shut your mouth,

Or I'll hit you in the face,"

Sam is terrified, but can't not say anything too -

The red soup drips on the asphalt,

I become nauseous, I close my jacket cause it is cold

(Chorus)

Good morning Berlin

You can be so ugly, so dirty and gray

You can be so terrible

Your nights eat me alive

It would probably be best for me

To go home and sleep in

and while I walk through the streets

Black slowly becomes blue

Tired figures in neon light

With deep wrinkles in their face

The early morning shift is silent, everyone stays within themselves

Frustration bubbles up, cause the bus isn't coming…

And there's shit lying everywhere, one really has to float

Everyone has a dog but no one to talk to

I constantly breathe through my mouth, this is part of my life

I feel so unhealthy, I need something pure to fight it

My head feels thick, I need a drink

I have an urgent craving for "Baghdad's Baked Goods"

It's warm there, there I give myself up to my dreams

With Fatima, the cute baked goods salesgirl

R&B ballads pump out of a parked Benz

The end of the workday for the street gangs

A hooligan lies in a woman's arms and bawls

This city isn't really as hard as you think

(Chorus)

I am broken, I rub your dust out of my eyes

You are not beautiful and you know it well

Your panorama is filthy

You don't even look beautiful from far away

But right now the sun is going up

And I know that whether I want it or not,

I need you so I can breathe.
