lyrics translations
this is for the English-compatible people out there. I translated our "non-English" into English for those who don't understand them in the original language. I apologize for the poor lyrical quality but the words lost a lot of their "musicality" through the translation but I hope they still make sense. If they don't, please ask for an explanation!
Demande d'exil - exile requested
The clothes are all drenched by the rain
There is no one who supports me
The flames that are burning in my heart
Are raging with the pain
This is my request for exile
Leave me in peace
After all this, I escaped
Degraded to a machine that lives
My soul became all crude
My compassion has disappeared
All alone, and I ask you
All of you, do I have to feel ashamed
I turn my back on this life
Raaten - rats
The economy has to grow
You mustn’t be too slow
It is either Them or Us
The competition never sleeps
But in our game and with our rules
They never get a chance
Education is lying at our feet
But we don’t care to pick it up
The water comes from the tap
It is easy to get used to this
We behave and take our medicine
So that we get as old as possible
Luxuries everywhere, this is what we need this is what we want. Actually there is nothing that I need so I just buy what I don’t need. We eat so much that we throw up, it is not hunger that makes us burst. We get drunk and feel happy, war and poverty are not ours to worry.
Like rats in a world full of misery
Opium fürs Volk - Opium for the people (opium of the people)
I need new waves
The pictures are rumbling again
They wash away our worries and our doubts
“Myspace” © is in front of the screen
This is my altar
We are a community with a profile
Everyone finds their salvation here
Opium for the people (opium of the people)
Everyone fits into these frames
Brothers and sisters, just like you and me
We don’t want to leave here
The capital is in flames
Nobody’s freezing
The golden woman is all black
They say it is Modern Arts
The capital is burning
The people are in flames
Do we need to defend freedom?
RTHell is right on the spot
Scandals, sensations, everywhere it burns
They’re all fleeing, dealer and bum
In Parliament they all fell asleep
Cerco la Terra - Looking for the shore
Oh what the heck, i don´t understand a thing,
I´m on this boat, with all these strange people
Oh what the heck, i don´t understand a thing,
My mouth is dry, and madness in my mind.
Yeah i should admit, that these are waves of alcohol
took me far away from shore
Yeah i should admit, that i need a helping hand
Please let me speak with the captain
It’s an odyssey,
I´m on a drift
I’m looking for the shore
I’m looking for the shore
Sahha fid Diversita - Strength through Diversity
Forget this myth of monoculture
This fanatic, ferocious vulture
Breeding in minds closed by gates of fear
Feeding on cancerous hearts that sear
Sahha fid Diversita
We are all equal under the same sun
There is not only one way to live your life
Speak the language o solidarity!
Listen to the voice of equality!
all different, all equal
