Die Befindlichkeit des Landes English translation
von Einstürzende Neubauten

Over the Scar-Terrain
that slowly disappears
so that only phantompain remains
it creeps a barely audible sinister laugh
out of the red Info-Box
and in the graves it is quity rotating

everything just future Ruins
Material for the next Layer

Mela, Mela, Mela, Mela, Melancholia
Melancholia, mon cher
Mela, Mela, Mela, Mela, Melancholia
floats above the new city
and above the land/Country

Above the Control Center
Above the Stubblefield of Concrete
Above the secret BunkerSystem
that can not be removed
Marlene Go Home!
also above the Marlene-Dietrich-Square


The new temples have cracks already
future ruins
one day Gras will grow over this city
over her last layer

Mela, Mela, Mela, Mela, Melancholia
Melancholia, mon cher
Mela, Mela, Mela, Mela, Melancholia
floats above the new city
and above the land/Country

In the cut up sky
flewn to pieces by the jets for training
she hangs with spread apart wings
without sleep, and rigid glance
in direction of the debris
behind her the future towered
she slowly rises higher and higher
in the end overlooking the entire country/land
what is the situation of the country/Land?
what is the situation of the country/Land?
what is the situation of the country/Land?
what is the situation of the country/Land?
