If I were from Rome or Napoli I would have my choice of girls As a Frenchman I would happily Show my coolness to the world Being Brit or being Spanish These both are, or once were, great But it’s better to drop my fantasies I just cannot escape my Fate So I must accept and recognise That I am stuck with my German state I’m not German just by wishing it Nor because it’s just a name Being German means self-censure Consequence of former shame Nazi infamy lingers endlessly Blame is still a heavy weight If I praise my country loudly Will you imprison me and lock the gates? I’ll stay home and stick to baking To live a quiet life, domesticate But I don’t complain or criticise Germany is quite OK Your opinions can be exercised Freedom circulates this way Nowhere can produce better wholemeal bread We’re on time and we are new We have mountains, lakes and waters Four World Cups and the best beer too Blossom into the light of excellence My dear homeland, I honour you
