Friesenjung English translation
von Otto Waalkes

You drink coffee
I drink tea at my place
I eat soft boiled eggs for breakfast
I'm just a little Frisian boy
And I live behind the dike!

Yes, East Friesia is a beautiful region
Like Switzerland and Austria
Just imagine they are without the Alps
What still remains is my dike

(Ohho)
I'm a Frisian boy,
I'm a little Frisian boy
And I live behind the dike.
(Everybody here we go)

(Ohho)
I'm a Frisian boy,
I'm a little Frisian boy
And I live behind the dike.


There comes a girl from Saxony
Saying Mister Otto I want to travel to France
Hey, I will show you my Eiffel Tower
Because it is just behind the dike

(Ohho)
I'm a Frisian boy,
I'm a little Frisian boy
And I live behind the dike.
(Everybody here we go)

(Ohho)
I'm a Frisian boy,
I'm a little Frisian boy
And I live behind the dike.

All the girls are coming
To the small Frisian town
Because it is worth a trip
As there lives that one
You know who I mean
Now please tell me who is living there

Otto (Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees)


From Jamaica comes the Reggae girl
Smoking a big joint is what she likes

Let's smoke the grass from our dike.

We East Frisians can do it every day,
In front of and behind the dike.
But when it sometimes really gets down to business
Not only our knees go weak (hey)

I'm a little Frisian boy
And I live behind the dike.
(Everybody here we go)

(Ohho)
I'm a Frisian boy,
I'm a little Frisian boy
And I live behind the dike.
