Winter in Frankfurt English translation
von Vega

This city is no beauty, neither elegant, nor an elderly lady
But right here everything started, that's what they say
It has such a bitter taste and is so dangerous
This city here is the centre of the world
Everybody here is chasing after the penny (Pfennig) and drugs
Sometimes pistols are banging
Since the year they killed Kennedy
And I'm travelling to Oberrad
With my Bembel (Apfelweinkrug)
'Cause I know I won't crash
As long as the angels still riding motorbikes
This city here is black and white
This city here is Hartreim, rich-poor
This city is a batlle area
That's why I'm loving it


Because it's winter in Frankfurt
No matter what they tell you, my friend
It's winter in Frankfurt
It's winter in Frankfurt
No matter what they tell you, my friend
It's winter in Frankfurt

This city is neither a virgin, nor a rose or ballerina
This city here is the origin of all old songs
There are whores standig at the street
This city is the Tower of Babel
Every asylee here is going against the flow
That's why we're talking like that
Where the buildings are scraping the sky
They make millions of turnover
Until they chase you and the street is on fire
But I'm sure you won't fall down
As long as the flag with the eagle is waving
This city isn't easy
This city here is Eintracht (Frankfurt)
It will stay powerful
This town is a battle area
That's why I'm loving it


Because it's winter in Frankfurt
No matter what they tell you, my friend
It's winter in Frankfurt
It's winter in Frankfurt
No matter what they tell you, my friend
It's winter in Frankfurt

Every line I'm writing means
That I'd like to stay here
Every stone in this town is a part of me
And they wonder how far I'll go
I'm walking with God
And won't have any doubt about his way
'Cause I was out with you
Thereafter on drugs, then intoxicated
Lateron permanently confused
This city is a battle area
That's why I'm loving it

Because it's winter in Frankfurt
No matter what they tell you, my friend
It's winter in Frankfurt
It's winter in Frankfurt
No matter what they tell you, my friend
It's winter in Frankfurt
