Genius English Translations
Konstantin Wecker - Sage Nein! (English Translation)
When they blatantly
Sing Nazi songs again
Make jokes about jews
Laugh at human rights
When they then loudly
Indulge in their stupidity, boozing
For if the German is in power
The world has to recover
Then stand up and intervene:
Say no!
Then often some Mister Important
Puts history right again
Babbles about the lie of Auschwitz
You know it all, sadly
Be strong and intervene
Sock it to the dumb bastard
Say no!
Whether you're homeless or a singer
A banker or a bummer
Whether you're a priest or a teacher
A housewife or a sweeper
Whether you're 6 or 100
Do not only be shocked, confused
Riot, rage, intervene:
Say no!
And when pompous men
Gallantly get in your way
When, while sluring, their eyes only
Stare at your cleavage
When they boast about the missus
That they keep at home
For the broad only is worth something
Like once at home and at the stove
Don't join this club:
Say no!
And when they suddenly slander
About gays at your school
Make black kids feel
How they hate other races
When teachers, instead of going extinct
Colour Germany brown again
Do not be afraid to shout:
Say no!
Whether you're homeless or a singer
A banker or a bummer
Whether you're a priest or a teacher
A housewife or a sweeper
Whether you're 6 or 100
Do not only be shocked, confused
Riot, rage, intervene:
Say no!
