I Am From Austria
Rainhard Fendrich
I Am From Austria
The golden age is long gone
and you've left hell behind
There's little left of fame and glory
Tell me, who still tips their hat to you,
Except for me.
I know the people, I know the rats
The stupidity that screams to the heavens
I stand by you in light and shadow
anytime.
I can do what I want
That's where I'm from, that's where I belong
The ice melts from my soul
Like from a glacier in April
Even if we've already forgotten
I'm your apple, you're my tree
just like your water flows downhill,
irresistible and so bright
Almost like the tears of a child,
my blood suddenly rushes
I proudly tell the world
and if you want too
All alone
I am from Austria
I am from Austria
The storks were often envied
Today I fly much further away
I mostly see you from afar
Who can understand
how painful that can be sometimes.
I can do what I want
That's where I'm from, that's where I belong
The ice melts from my soul
Like driving on a glacier in April.
Even if we've already forgotten
I'm your apple, you're my tree
just like your water flows downhill,
irresistible and so bright
Almost like the tears of a child,
my blood suddenly rushes
I proudly tell the world
And if you want too
All alone
I am from Austria
I am from Austria
I am from Austria
