I Am From Austria
Dei hohe Zeit ist lang vorüber
Und auch die Höll hast hinter dir
Von Ruhm und Glanz ist wenig über
Sag ma wer
Ziagt no den Huat vur dia
Außer mir
I kenn' die Leit'
I kenn die Ratten
Die Dummheit die zum Himmel schreit
I steh zu dir
Bei Licht und Schatten jederzeit
Do kann i moch'n was ma wüll
Do bin i her, do g'hör' i hin
Do schmülzt des Eis von meiner Sö
Wia von am Gletscher im April
A wenn ma's schon vergessen ham
I bin dei Apfel, du mei Stamm
So wia dei Wossa talwärts rinnt
Unwiderstehlich und so hell
Fast wia die Tränen von am Kind
Wird da mein Bluat auf amoi schnell
Sag i am Mensch der Welt voi Stolz
Und wenn ihr woits a ganz allan
I am from Austria
I am from Austria
Es war'n die Störche oft zu beneid'n
Heit fliag i no füh weiter fuat
I sich' di meist nur von der Weiten
Wer kann versteh'n wia weh das manchmoi tuat
Do kann i moch'n was ma wüll
Do bin i her, do g'hör' i hin
Do schmülzt des Eis von meiner Sö
Wia von am Gletscher im April
A wenn ma's schon vergessen ham
I bin dei Apfel, du mei Stamm
So wia dei Wossa talwärts rinnt
Unwiderstehlich und so hell
Fast wia die Tränen von am Kind
Wird da mein Bluat auf amoi schnell
Sag i am Mensch der Welt voi Stolz
Und wenn ihr woits a ganz allan
I am from Austria
I am from Austria
I am from Austria
I Am from Austria
Your golden days are long gone
You've left hell behind you too
Of fame and fortune, not much is left
Tell me who
Still takes their hat off to you
Except me
I know the people
I know the rats
The madness of screaming to the heavens
I stand by you
In light and in darkness forever
They can do what they want about it
That's where I am, that's where I'm from
That's where the ice melts away from my soul
Like from a glacier in April
Even when we've already forgotten
I am your apple, you are my branch
Just like your water runs downstream
Irresistible and so clear
Almost like a child's tears
My blood too, goes fast all at once
Full of pride, I tell the people of the world
And if you want, you alone as well
I am from Austria
I am from Austria
The storks were often to be envied
Today I still fly much further away
I see you mostly only from afar
Who could know, just how much hurt it can do?
They can do what they want about it
That's where I am, that's where I belong
That's where the ice melts away from my soul
Like from a glacier in April
Even when we've already forgotten
I am your apple, you are my branch
Just like your water runs downstream
Irresistible and so clear
Almost like a child's tears
My blood too, goes fast all at once
Full of pride, I tell the people of the world
And if you want, you alone as well
I am from Austria
I am from Austria
I am from Austria
