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

Weißt du eigentlich, wie schön du bist?
Ganz heimlich und unscheinbar
wie du lachst, schweigst und mit dir haderst ganz unverhofft und wunderbar

Deine strahlenden Augen
voller Freude
mit dem Kopf in den Wolken
voller neuer, aufregender Träume

Deine funkelnde Umgebung
voller Glanz
mit deinen Gedanken schon weiter
auf dem nächsten Tanz

Deine herzige, warme Art
voller Geborgenheit und Liebe

Wenn du mich anstrahlst
fühlt es sich an
wie eine riesige, endlose Umarmung
