Steiermark English translation
von Gert Steinbäcker

It is beautiful here, something I notice more and more
Whenever I ride my motorcycle through the countryside on a Sunday
We travelled all across the land
With our suburban rock and roll
Celebrated our youth and played
In almost every chicken coop
It was a fantastic time
One you never forget and never regret

We came from the capital, where on every street corner
There is some story or a beautiful memory hiding
And you know all the good ones, all the crooks, all the tricks
The funny posh crowd, the ordinary people and the self styled Styrian freaks
They are all still there
And that is part of it too


Styria, that is where I come from
And I like the feeling of having somewhere
That feels like home
More and more
Styria, whenever I come back
From wherever I have been
Nothing can surprise me, and when I
Really need someone, there is always somebody there

For a long time, home meant almost nothing to me
The word carries so much blood, so much foolish pride and the stench of Nazism
But this is where my roots are and where my oldest friends live
A place I can retreat to when the clouds roll in, until the sun shines again
And this is where I was born
This is where my parents died

Styria, that is where I come from
And I like the feeling of having somewhere
That feels like home
More and more
Styria, whenever I come back
From wherever I have been
Nothing can surprise me, and when I
Really need someone, there is always somebody there


Styria, that is where I come from
And I like the feeling of having somewhere
That feels like home
More and more
Styria, whenever I come back
From wherever I have been
Nothing can surprise me, and when I
Really need someone, there is always somebody there

Styria, that is where I come from
And I like the feeling of having somewhere
That feels like home
More and more
Styria, whenever I come back
From wherever I have been
Nothing can surprise me, and when I
Really need someone, there is always somebody there
