Berliner Liedchen ("Der Westn is besser")

Der Westn is besserDer Westn is bunterUnd schöner und schauerUnd reicher und freiUnd trotzalledemIch sag dir die Wahrheit:Der Westn is ooch nich- det Gelbe von´ Ei

Der Ostn is schlechterDer Ostn is grauerUnd klein sind die ChancenUnd groß ist die NotUnd trotzalledem:Der Traum der CommuneDer schlief nur und is doch- noch lange nich tot

Berliner Liedchen ("The West is better")

The West is betterThe West is brighterMore charming, more dazzling,And richer and freeAnd in spite of all thatI tell you the truth:The West is also notAll it could be.

The East is grimmerThe East is darkerThere are few opportunitiesAnd great is the dreadAnd in spite of all thatThe dream of the communeNow only lies dormantAnd is far from being dead.
