Mein Name ist Mensch deutsche Übersetzung
von Ton Steine Scherben

I have many fathers
I have many mothers
I have many sisters
I have many brothers
My fathers are black
And my mothers are yellow
My brothers are red
and my sisters are light

CHORUS:
I'm over ten thousand years old
and my name is Man
I'm over ten thousand years old
and my name is Man


And I live from the light
And I live from the air
And I live from live
And I live from bread
I have two eyes
and I can see everything
I have two ears
and I can understand everything

CHORUS

We have an enemy
He takes the day away from us
He lives from our work
and he lives from our skill
He has two eyes
but he doesn't want to see
He has two ears
and he doesn't want to hear

He is over ten thousand years old
and has many names
He is over ten thousand years old
and has many names


I know we will fight
I know we will succeed
I know we will live
And we will love each other
The planet earth
Will belong to us
And everyone will have what he needs

It won't last another ten thousand years
Because the time is ripe
And it won't last another ten thousand years
Because the time is ripe
