Der Asphaltboden zitterte, es wummerte im Ohr
The asphalt shook, it thudded in my ear
Als ich an einen dicken Beat mein junges Herz verlor
When I lost my young heart to a heavy beat
Seit damals gefällt mir die Stadt besser als zuvor
Since then, I like the city better than before
Wenn ich durch Berlin-City cruise, is' Reggae mein Motor
When I cruise through Berlin City, reggae is my engine
Ich singe auf dem Fahrrad, mal Bass und mal Tenor
I sing on my bike, sometimes bass and sometimes tenor
Zu Hause dreh ich Sound auf, die Nachbarn ham Humor
At home, I turn up the sound, the neighbors have humor
Die steh'n auf frische Downbeats aus meinem Record-Store
They dig fresh downbeats from my record store
Supersonic Soundsystem Kultur
Supersonic soundsystem culture
Wenn Party is', dann sind wir on the Dancefloor
When it's party time, we're on the dancefloor
Der DJ macht den und die Jarvis den Chor
The DJ leads and Jarvis brings the choir
Du versinkst im Bass wie 'ne Moorleiche im Moor
You sink in the bass like a bog body in the moor
Es zwingt dich in die Knie, denn der Riddim is Hardcore
It brings you to your knees, 'cause the rhythm is hardcore
Wir shaken, was wir haben, morgens 7 Uhr
We shake what we have, at 7 in the morning
Woanders gibt's 'ne Sperrstunde, bei uns die Müllabfuhr
Elsewhere, there's a curfew, with us it's the trash collection
Dann bau'n wa' 'n dickes Rohr, kommt dann schon mal vor
Then we build a thick pipe, that happens sometimes
Und blasen dicken Smoke durchs
And blow thick smoke through
Dickes B, oben an der
Thick B, up at the
Im Sommer tust du gut und im Winter tut's weh
In summer it's good for you, and in winter it hurts
Mama Berlin Backsteine und Benzin
Mama Berlin bricks and gasoline
Wir lieben deinen Duft, wenn wir um die Häuser zieh'n
We love your scent when we roam the streets
Dickes B, Home an der Spree
Thick B, home by the Spree
Im Sommer tust du gut und im Winter tut's weh
In summer you feel good, and in winter it hurts
Mama Berlin Backsteine und Benzin
Mama Berlin, bricks and gasoline
Wir lieben deinen Duft, wenn wir um die Häuser zieh'n
We love your scent when we roam the streets
Die Berliner Luft im Vergleich zu anderen Städten
The Berlin air compared to other cities
Bietet leckersten Geschmack, allerbeste Qualitäten
Offers the tastiest flavor, the very best qualities
Um Paraden zu feiern und exklusive Feten
To celebrate parades and exclusive parties
Die Massen sind jetzt da, es hat sie niemand drum gebeten
The crowds are here now, no one asked them to come
Früher ging's in Berlin um Panzer und Raketen
In the past, Berlin was about tanks and rockets
Heute lebe ich im Osten zwischen Blümchentapeten
Today I live in the east, surrounded by floral wallpaper
Kümmer' mich nicht allzu sehr um Taler und Moneten
I don't really care much for coins and notes
Baue hier und da 'n Track, aber dafür 'n konkreten
I build a track here and there, but it's gotta be concrete
Coolnessmäßig platzt die Stadt aus allen Nähten
Coolness-wise, the city bursts at the seams
Aber wo sind jetzt die Typen, die auch ernsthaft antreten
But where are the guys who take it seriously?
Um ihr Potential, ihre Styles heißzukneten
To knead their potential, their styles with heat
Zu viel Kraft in der Lunge für zu wenige Trompeten
Too much power in the lungs for too few trumpets
Dickes B, Home an der Spree
Thick B, home at the Spree
Im Sommer tust du gut und im Winter tut's weh
In summer you're good, and in winter it hurts
Mama Berlin Backsteine und Benzin
Mama Berlin, bricks and gasoline
Wir lieben deinen Duft, wenn wir um die Häuser zieh'n
We love your scent when we roam the streets
Dickes B, Home an der Spree
Thick B, home by the Spree
Im Sommer tust du gut und im Winter tut's weh
In summer you feel good and in winter it hurts
Mama Berlin Backsteine und Benzin
Mama Berlin, bricks and gasoline
Wir lieben deinen Duft, wenn wir um die Häuser zieh'n
We love your scent when we roam the streets
