Torn barricades
Hope and fear
Come together here
On these ruined landscapes
Households right out of place
We stand firm
Play our role
For the camera´s eye
It´s stratego, hardly
Checkpoint Charly
Another d´Artagnan
Plays his part
The land surveyor K
Shows his art
As Macky Messer turns
His final card
A European song
Straight from my heart
Dark, darkest clouds
Close as shrouds
Drew together round
Old established forces
In castles alongside the Rhine
Sultry air, rage, despair
Come together there
On those poisoned landscapes
Behind plush drapes
Another d´Artagnan
Plays his part
The land surveyor K
Shows his art
As Macky Messer turns
His final card
A European song
Straight from my heart
