3. Strophe 3rd verse
Wallfahrer ziehen durch das Tal Pilgrims hike through the valley
mit fliegenden Standarten. With flying emblems.
Hell grüßt ihr doppelter Choral Brightly greets their double choral
den weiten Rebengarten- the wide garden of vine.
Wie gerne wär' ich mitgewallt, How gladly I‘d want to pilgrimage
ihr Pfarr‘ wollt mich nicht haben! you priests don´t want to have me
So muss ich seitwärts So I must go crabwise
durch den Wald through the wood
als räudig Schäflein traben, trot as a mangy sheep.
valeri, valera, valeri, valera, valeri, valera, valeri, valera,
als räudig Schäflein traben. trot as a mangy sheep.

Frankenhymne:
Ich woa scho mal in Russland, doch in Russland isses kold.Ich woa scho in Korea, doch do werd mer a ned old.
Do bleib ich doch in Franken, do is alles wie sich's ghört.In Bamberch und in Nemberch, und vo mir aus a in Ferd.
Ref: Ja in Franken ja in Franken sin die Leid nu alle cool
Mir braung kann dickn Borsche und kann großen Swimmingbool.
Mir braung an Karpfn und an Bressack und a scheens kalts Seidla Bier. Und gwiend der Glubb a Hamspill, feiderd kaner so wie mir!Was kümmert uns der Everest, mir ham a eigne Schweiz.
Und wer unser Bier brobiert hot kriecht auf Jever Würgereiz.Mir hom kann Mississippi, doch uns ghört der halbe Main.
Ham kann Grabba und kann Sake doch dafür den bestn Wein.Ref:
Mir hom kann Lachs und a kann Hummer, ka Carpaccio und kann Hai.Doch a Brodworschd und a Bressack genna eh füll besser nei.
Mir hom alles was mer brauchng und mir haldn immer zam.Und wer mahnd auswärts is schenner, soll doch geh, mir bleim daham.
Ref:
English Translation of the „Frankenhymne“
I have been to Russia, but in Russia it is cold.I’ve been to Korea, but there we don’t get old.
So I’ll stay in Franconia, there’s everything how it should be.In Bamberg, and in Nuremberg, and also down in Fürth.
Ref: Surely enough, in Franconia, in Franconia people still are cool.We don’t need a big Porsche and neither a big pool.
We need some carp and a brawn and a cold delicious beer.And when when our club wins at home, noone celebrates like us!
What does the Everest interest us, we have our own Switzerland.And if one of us tastes Jever beer, he’ll very be sick.
We don´t have a Mississippi, but half the Main belongs to us.Don´t have Grabba or Sake, but we have the best wine. (refrain)
We don´t have salmon or lobster, no carpaccio and no shark.But we eat sausage and Pressack, which is better anyway.
We have all we need and we always keep together.If you think somewhere else it may be more beautiful, hurry, off you go, we will stay at
home!
Geboren um zu Leben (Unheilig)
It is difficult for me to live without you, every day and every time to give simply everything. I remember things which had been so many times like every loved passed day. I imagine that you stand up to me and all of my ways walk on my side.I think about so many things since you der no more, because you showed me how
valuable life is.Ref: We were born to live with the marvels of all times, never to forget
hisself eternal.We were born to live for the one moment when all of us felt how
valuable life is.It´s still hurting to create new space again with the good feeling to permit
something newIn this moment you are near to me again like on every loved passed day.It is my wish to allow dreams again looking to the future without sorrow.I see a sense since you are no more because you have shown me how valuable
my life is.Ref: (several times)

Lass sie reden (Die Ärzte)Have you done something nobody else does? Do you maybe have high heels or even a hat?Or did you wear a dress, which seemed a bit too short, without asking your neighbours to let you do it?Well, now you will be punished with a lot of contempt, you are a big shame for the whole neighbourhood!You don´t even know exactly what their names, while they´re bursting their mouths about you already.Let those people talk and don´t listen to them, most of them don´t have anything else to do.Let those people talk, day and night, let those people talk, this is what they always have been doing.You have definitely robbed a bank, how could a person like you pay the rent?You are not allowed back into the States again, ´cause you must surely have a baby with ,,Bin Laden“.Do you shave off your Lady´s beard every day? Or have you buried a dead body in your garden?I heard the neighbours mention something, don´t be surprised if the police ring at your doorbell.Let those people talk, but don´t listen to them, most of them don´t keep any evil in their minds.It´s their boring life which really bothers them and the day becomes more interesting, if one tells fairy tales.And probably they aren‘t even ashamed of it, they don´t understand.Well, as we‘ve known before, they are fussy and inevitably xenophobic.Have you heard about it… and did you know, …that you earn your money with prostitution.They say you usually stand near the bus station, a brother-in-law´s comrade has seen you there before.Let those people talk & simply smile with them,most of them have ALL they know from the tabloid pressAnd this – as we know -consists of nothing but fear, hate, boobs and weather forecast.Let those people talk,´cause as it always does turn out, as long as they‘re talking, they don‘t do anything
worse.And you can afford it, stay polite and say nothing, THAT IS WHAT ANNOYES THEM MOST!
