German is a harsh language An opinion that prevails A strong rolled “R” Noises, making you think Something is stuck down your throat Talking, in everlasting anger Let me tell you something Let me introduce you To the beauty of the German language To the words of “Wanderlust”, “Weltschmerz” or “Geborgenheit” Many words so unique Their meaning poetic Using them yet so difficult Listen to us closely and you will find out German is not German It comes in many forms It varies by the region, state, country Every form has its own character Every accent has its own thrill Determinable in the way it’s spoken And sometimes hard to understand Differences so great, Yet compromised in a single tongue Reconsider, German is not as harsh as you think No anger lies in our tone Nothing is stuck down our throat And spoken by the right person It can be quite melodic

On the Harshness of the German Language
German is a harsh language An opinion that prevails A strong rolled “R” Noises, making you think Something is stuck down your throat Talking, in everlasting anger Let me tell you something Let me introduce you To the beauty of the German language To the words of “Wanderlust”, “Weltschmerz” or “Geborgenheit” Many words so unique Their meaning poetic Using them yet so difficult Listen to us closely and you will find out German is not German It comes in many forms It varies by the region, state, country Every form has its own character Every accent has its own thrill Determinable in the way it’s spoken And sometimes hard to understand Differences so great, Yet compromised in a single tongue Reconsider, German is not as harsh as you think No anger lies in our tone Nothing is stuck down our throat And spoken by the right person It can be quite melodic
Trying to overcome the stereotypes...
