Gostan - Klanga

Two thousand years ago
Two thousand years ago
Two thousand years ago the proudest boast was
Civis Romanus sum
Today, in the world of freedom
The proudest boast is
Ich bin ein Berliner
Ich bin ein Berliner

Berlin
Ich bin ein Berliner

Freedom
Has many difficulties
And democracy is not perfect
But we have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in

I know of no town, no city
That has been besieged for 18 years that still lives
With the vitality and the force
And the hope and the determination
Of the city of West Berlin

Ich bin ein Berliner
