Der frische Wind von Berlin English translation
von Udo Lindenberg

From Potsdam to Pankow
From Kreuzberg to Prenzlau
From Wannsee to Alex
I don't give a damn about traffic jams

Down the Ku-Damm quickly
And then up the linden trees
Through the Brandenburg Gate
No wall stops me

I rush to the Kempi
Let Juhnke's flag fly
At the Bahnhofzoo in the ladies' toilet
Go crazy with Nina Hagen

Oranienburger Strasse
I sweep up your skirt
But the lady is a gentleman
And I get a sweet shock


I am the fresh wind of Berlin
Don't know exactly where to go yet
But I know a hundred per
The madness is here anyway

I am the fresh wind of Berlin
Let's go around the houses
We hiss off - Berlin air
Currywurst and kebap scent

I come from the east
Bring Tolstoy and vodka
Red October
And now the mafia

I'm from the west
Airlift to Berlin
Gold dust and cinema dreams
New York grandeur

Refrain:
I am the fresh wind of Berlin
Don't know exactly where to go yet
But I know a hundred per
The madness is here anyway
I am the fresh wind of Berlin
Let's go around the houses


We hiss off - Berlin air
Currywurst and kebap scent
I blew over graves
With icy songs of victory
I was the smoke that for years
In Dachau from the chimney rose

After that I stood still for a long time
You're almost choking on your stuffiness
But then I stormed the barricades
as wind of rebellion,
Who whistled in your ears

refrain

And I feel somehow crooked
Because I just blow it over -
You know huh?!
I am the fresh wind from Berlin
And nothing can pull me down
I know a hundred per
The madness is going on here anyway -
You know huh?!
