Wir English translation
von Freddy Quinn

Who wants to be mistaken for a bum? WE!
Who worries about peace on Earth? WE!
You loiter around in parks and alleys,
who can comprehend your senseless laziness? US! US! WE!
Who has the courage to be ashamed for you? WE!
Who will not let our future be taken from us? WE!
Who sees you defiling old churches,
and must lose all respect for you? US! US! WE!
Because someone must be there who does not only destroy,
who preserves our faith,
who learns, who educates himself, who does his duty,
for the building of tomorrow's world.
The world of tomorrow is already here today. WE!
Who will remain the noisy mob forever? WE!


Who even says that work is only shameful, so bored, so utterly blinded? YOU! YOU! YOU!
Who wants to talk openly with you again? WE!
Who, of course, also has their weaknesses? WE!
Who even has similar stitches,
also long hair, only it's washed? US! US! WE!
We too are for toughness,
we too wear beards,
we too often go way too far.
But sometimes, in good times,
in quiet moments,
we regret various things.
Who hasn't lost hope yet? WE!
And does anyone still thank those who gave birth to us? WE!
But who wants to keep protesting until there's nothing left to protest about? YOU! YOU! YOU!
