Sage Nein! deutsche Übersetzung
von Konstantin Wecker

SAY NO!

If they now jeer again Nazi songs,
completely unconcealed,
joke about Jewish people,
laugh about human rights,
if then they indulge with roaring voices,
in their boozed-up simple-mindedness,
because now the world must recover
from the German behind the counter,
then get up and get engaged:
Say no!

In most cases a Mr. Important tries
to correct history,
babbles about the Auschwitz lie,
Unfortunately, we know this too well,
Get strong and get engaged,
Show it to this stupid pig:
Say no!


Whether as a bum or a singer,
a banker or an idler,
whether as a priest or a teacher,
housewife or street sweeper,
whether you're six or one hundred,
Don’t just be frightened, puzzled,
Rage and riot, get engaged:
Say no!

And when pompous gentlemen
gallantly block your way,
if they stare under slurred speech
only at your cleavage,
if they brag about the old bitch
they keep at home,
because a wife is worthy only
when being at home and hearth,
do not join this club,
Say no!

And when they suddenly slander
gays in your school,
when they let black kids know
how much they hate other races,
when teachers, instead of dying out,
again color Germany brown,
then don’t be afraid to scream:
Say no!


Whether as a bum or a singer,
a banker or an idler,
whether as a priest or a teacher,
housewife or street sweeper,
whether you're six or one hundred,
Don’t just be frightened, puzzled,
Rage and riot, get engaged:
Say no!
