I Am from Austria - Rainhard Fendrich

★ Verse 1 ★
Your high time is long gone
And the heights are behind you
Of fame and glory is little left
Tell me, who still tips their hat to you? Except me?

★ Verse 2 ★
I know the people
I know the rats
The stupidity that cries out to heaven
I'll stand by you in light and darkness, anytime

★ Chorus ★
You can do what you want there
That's where I'm from, that's where I'm going
There the ice melts from my soul
Like from a glacier in April
Even if we've already forgotten
I am thе apple, you are my trunk
The way thе water runs downhill
Irresistible and so high
Almost like the tears of a child
My blood suddenly becomes fast
I say proudly at the end of the world
And if you want, all alone
I am from Austria, I am from Austria

★ Verse 3 ★
The storks were often to be jealous of
Now I fly even further away
I usually only see you from afar
Who could understand how much it hurts?

★ Chorus ★
You can do what you want there
That's where I'm from, that's where I'm going
There the ice melts from my soul
Like from a glacier in April
Even if we've already forgotten
I am the apple, you are my trunk
The way the water runs downhill
Irresistible and so high
Almost like the tears of a child
My blood suddenly becomes fast
I say proudly at the end of the world
And if you want, all alone
I am from Austria, I am from Austria
