Mein Body und ich English translation
von Udo Lindenberg

Do you want a coffee, a little whiskey or a joint?
I need to talk to you in peace, my old friend!
Ey, you my poor body, what have I already done to you?
Full pot, raise the cups, ey, I'm pretty sorry
I have to thank you after all this time!

Hey, my body, you and me
I know you won't let me down!
Others would have a life like that
Long since given up
I smoked like a chimney
And drank like hell
I beat you super hard
But you're still alive!


I'm a party bird running through my life
Like a candle burning from both sides
I wasn't a good - not a good bodyguard for you
But what doesn't kill us makes us extra hard!
I threw away everything I could get my hands on
The chemical clubs also turned on very well

Hey, my body, you and me
I know you won't let me down!
Others would have a life like that
Long since given up
I smoked like a chimney
And drank like hell
I beat you super hard
However, we are still alive!

I have to tell you something now, I pay you my respects
You put away all the madness!

Hey, my body, you and me
Hey, we won't let you down!
And sometimes times are hard
We'll be at the start for a long time!
my body, you and me
There will never be anything like that again
do you know what we both are
We are the masters of survival!


My body, you and me
