Mein Osten English translation
von Silbermond

I still see
The sad images
Of a dark night
In the credits
Is the name
Of my hometown

I don’t forget where I come from
Don’t forget where I come from

I know you, I know you well
My East, my East
I also understand some of your anger
My East, my East
Giving up isn’t your style
And not completely screwed
My East


Cracks run through families
And a crack also runs through me
Because I know, with middle fingers
We won’t solve this problem here
We’ll have to talk, argue
Wrestle over compromises, and so on
But what doesn’t help, are we agreed?
Ideas from 1933

Never forget where you come from
Never forget where you come from

I know you, I know you well
My East, my East
Your beauty is scratched by anger
My East, my East
Giving up isn’t your style
And not completely screwed
My East

My roots, my territory
My East, my East
I learned humility from you
My East, I stand by you

I don’t forget where I come from
Don’t forget where I come from
I don’t forget where I come from
Don’t forget


I know your friendly look
My East, my East
Rough, warm, just as you are
My East, my East
We’ll figure something out
So your fears don’t win
My East
