Vopo English translation
von Udo Lindenberg

I live in Berlin right by the wall
In a gray tenement
I wake up at noon and eat for breakfast
A bucket of blackberry jam
I make a mess of myself
And lick it off me
And feel the desire:
It's coming again
I'm opening the window
And look at the man
The man of my longing

There he is
So proud and strong
A complete gentleman from head to toe
His raised bayonet
Is unfortunately only
A shooting gun


I imagine
That he pulls the gun down
And throws it down the drain
- That he takes me
Very lovingly
And bities into my lip

Oh, you my sweet, little Vopo
With your sweet little butt
I love you so much
I love you so...
