Bochum

Deep in the west
where the sun is dusty
it's better
much better than you think
deep in the west

you're not a beauty
gray from work
you love yourself without makeup
you're an honest soul
unfortunately, totally messed up
but that's what makes you

you have a pulse of steel
it can be heard loudly at night
you're just too modest
your coal mines
have brought us back up
you flower in the area

Bochum
I come from you
Bochum
I'm attached to you
Good luck, Bochum

you're not a global city
on your Königsallee
no fashion shows take place
here, where the heart still matters
not the big money
who lives in Düsseldorf anyway

Bochum...

you're the roost for pigeons
and constantly high
you have your cabin in the allotment garden
making every opponent wet
you and your VFL

Bochum...
