lyrics

Hallo Deutschland. Wir wissen nichts von deinen worte (Hello, Germany. We know nothing of your words). Yet we’ve come for 5 days and can’t communicate. I expected to not be phased by social interactions, but I got red-faced. Frozen up, what am I supposed to say? “Es tut mir leid. Sprechen sie English?” (I am so sorry. Do you speak English?). Hallo Deutschland. Mir helfen die geschichte zu verstehen (Hello, Germany. Help me to understand your history). We’ve been here for 5 days and still can’t comprehend why exactly Berlin looks so new, the memorials and wall stretching through. We indulge in hot mustard, wurst und bier (sausage and beer). Und versuchen zu verstehen, was hier passiert ist (and try to understand what happened here). Auf Wiedersehen, Deutschland. Sie waren gut zu uns (Goodbye, Germany. You were good to us.)
