Notlandung auf Berlin English translation
von Chakuza

[Verse I:]
For many it is like a huge house
You get lost inside and never find your way out
Snow in winter and great heat in summer, but no beach
Forever caught in a spider's web downtown
Then the faces tense and cool
If you're weak, you'll almost certainly be washed to the side of the road
And sometimes you get the feeling that there's nothing to laugh about
Even the neighbor is just the guy next door – anonymous
The city that has no mountains – Berlin
Only heavy hearts and dead batteries
The legs heavy, one rides on rails
Back and forth between distant destinations
And another shift is over, the bills are settled
The kitschy ideal world has given way to an ugly one
Lights are still on in all the windows
And behind it, strangers tell each other stories


Storms are brewing
I'm running out of fuel
Can't flee any further
Emergency landing on Berlin

The city catches me
Tell me I'm home
And sometimes I believe it too
Emergency landing on Berlin


At five in the morning there is already noise
No complaints because the bins are emptied so early
But that won't last forever and it will be over soon
The broken glass has been swept away and the sidewalks are swept clean
The city that knows no love, only bad weather
With all the wind and hail, the tiles are falling off the roofs
There is also violence in the small town but here
Do you also throw letters to Santa Claus with the old paper?
From here out into the country you breathe deeply, it breaks your head
You can't breathe air and you miss the smog
It is better to walk between tall buildings
Between unfriendly people and the drug addicts
You have to wait for a miracle to happen
And until then balancing on a tightrope over gorges
And I finally got it after 100 years
Lost in the jungle of this big city

Storms are brewing
I'm running out of fuel
Can't flee any further
Emergency landing on Berlin

The city catches me
Tell me I'm home
And sometimes I believe it too
Emergency landing on Berlin

I wake up,
Everything hurts
open your eyes
I survived
A rough wind pushes me here
Through dense fog into people more

Forever friend and foe
Love and hate united
I don't want to flee anymore
Emergency landing on Berlin

The city sucks me in
Tell me hard at home
I can't get out of here
Emergency landing on Berlin

Oooh emergency landing on Berlin
Oooh emergency landing on Berlin
