Klanga - Gostan, De Hofnar

Two thousand years ago

Two thousand years ago

Two thousand years ago the proudest boast was

Civis Romanus sum

Today, in the world of freedom

The proudest boast is

Ich bin ein Berliner

Ich bin ein Berliner

Berlin

Ich bin ein Berliner

Freedom

Has many difficulties

And democracy is not perfect

But we have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in

I know of no town, no city

That has been besieged for 18 years that still lives

With the vitality and the force

And the hope and the determination

Of the city of West Berlin

Ich bin ein Berliner
