kvarnerexpress 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2004 This song - Amerika by the German band Rammstein - is actually quite funny. Just read the lyrics, they are originally in German, but I've found an English translation. I'll present you both. In English: Refrain: We're all living in America, America is wunderbar. We're all living in America, Amerika, Amerika. When I'm dancing, I want to lead, even if you all are spinning alone, let's exercise a little control. I'll show you how it's done right. We form a nice round (circle), freedom is playing on all the fiddles, music is coming out of the White House, and near Paris stands Mickey Mouse. We're all living in America... I know steps that are very useful, and I'll protect you from missteps, and anyone who doesn't want to dance in the end, just doesn't know that he has to dance! We form a nice round (circle), I'll show you the right direction, to Africa goes Santa Claus, and near Paris stands Mickey Mouse. We're all living in America, America is wunderbar. We're all living in America, Amerika, Amerika. We're all living in America, Coca-Cola, Wonderbra, We're all living in America, Amerika, Amerika. This is not a love song, this is not a love song. I don't sing my mother tongue, No, this is not a love song. We're all living in America, Amerika is wunderbar. We're all living in America, Amerika, Amerika. We're all living in America, Coca-Cola, sometimes WAR, We're all living in America, Amerika, Amerika. In German: Refrain: We're all living in America, America is wunderbar. We're all living in America, Amerika, Amerika. Wenn getanzt wird, will ich f?hren, auch wenn ihr euch alleine dreht, lasst euch ein wenig kontrollieren, Ich zeige euch wie's richtig geht. Wir bilden einen lieben Reigen, die Freiheit spielt auf allen Geigen, Musik kommt aus dem Wei?en Haus, Und vor Paris steht Mickey Maus. We're all living in America... Ich kenne Schritte, die sehr n?tzen, und werde euch vor Fehltritt sch?tzen, und wer nicht tanzen will am Schluss, wei? noch nicht, dass er tanzen muss! Wir bilden einen lieben Reigen, ich werde Euch die Richtung zeigen, nach Afrika kommt Santa Claus, und vor Paris steht Mickey Maus. Refrain: We're all living in America, America is wunderbar. We're all living in America, Amerika, Amerika. We're all living in America, Coca-Cola, Wonderbra, We're all living in America, Amerika, Amerika. This is not a love song, this is not a love song. I don't sing my mother tongue, No, this is not a love song. We're all living in America, Amerika is wunderbar. We're all living in America, Amerika, Amerika. We're all living in America, Coca-Cola, sometimes WAR, We're all living in America, Amerika, Amerika. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
