Lyrics

Istanbul

[Strophe I:]

Die jroosse wiss em hanwald

Hück esse widder janzb esonders jröön

Dä caddie kennt se janz jenau

Un och ding dritte frau ess jung un schön

Hück litt nix besondres ahn

Bess op dä lästije friseurtermin

Un dann hück ohvend noch die modenschau

Obwohl, do willste ei`ntlich janit hin

Doch wat mäht mer nit all

Wemmer endlich och dozojehührt!

Denn mer will op keine fall

Dat mer dä status widder flöck verliert

Mer muß sing connections hann

Un zosinn, dat do nix verbrennt

Met klüngel hätt dat nix zo dunn

Doch besser ess et, wemmer einer kennt

Ich sinn dich noch em cbgb`s-t-shirt

Un der völlig fäädije ledderbozz

Die telecaster un dä twin-reverb

Woor alles, wat du broots

Wenn einer purist woor, dann du

Die stones wooren ding religion

Für einer, dä ne kompromiß maat

Hatts du nix als spott un hohn

Jetz luhrste moondaachs durch die airplay charts

Un mähß dich schlau, wat momentan joot läuf

Wat sich dä weichjekochte konsument

Neuerdings su käuf

Dann programmierste dä computer

Un dä krempel weed analysiert

Un uss dä quersumm vun dämm janze driss

Dä nächste hit-klon konstruiert

Bess du jetz do, wo du hinwollts

Dä dä du sinn wollts?

Mäht dich dinge ausverkauf

Womöglich sujar stolz?

[Chorus:]

Wämm häss du ding seel verkauf

Un wat joov et dofür?

Belüsch doch wä du wills

Verzäll et bloß nit mir

[Strophe II:]

Janz selden kütt et vüür

Dat du des naahx huh en der himmel luhrs

Un do dieselve stääne siehs

Wie domohls övver istanbul

Als mer noh vier daach endlich ahnkohme

Su stolz wie dausend mann

Denn do ahm andre ufer fing

Tatsächlich asien ahn

Ich weiß nit, ob mir zwei uns jemohls

Irjendjet jeschwooren hann

Vermutlich nit, do daachte mir

Vüür lauter sehnsucht janit draan

Ich wünsch mir, dat wenn eines naahx

En stäänschnupp rungerfällt

Dir dann dat enfällt, wat du wirklich wünschs

Un du`t dann eisern für dich selvs behällts

Denn du bess nit dä, dä du sinn wollts

Am bosporus in istanbul

Un dinge ausverkauf dä mäht dich alles

Bloß nit wirklich fruh

[Chorus:]

Woröm häss du ding seel verkauf

Un wat joov et dofür?

Belüsch doch wä du wills

Verzäll et bloß nit mir
