Deutschland Lyrics in English Die Prinzen

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Deutschland by Die Prinzen from German to English.
German
German
German
German, German, German
Verse 1
Of course a German invented 'Wetten Dass'
Thanks for the lovely hours
We're the friendliest customers on this planet
We're modest, we've got money
The very best at every sport
Taxes here are a world record
Travel through Germany
And stay here
Verse 1
We're waiting for visitors like that
Anyone who likes it can live here
We're the friendliest people
On this planet
Chorus 1
German, German, German, German
Just one little thing is wrong here
Namely that Schumacher doesn't drive a Mercedes
Drives a Mercedes
That's all Germany
That's all us
You won't find that anywhere else
Only here, only here
That's all Germany
That's all us
We live and we die here
German, German, German, German
German, German, German, German
A lot of people get full of themselves about Germany
And some think it's awesome to be a top doctor
There are some who love to complain about "Kanaken"
And travel to Thailand every year to flirt
We love our cars more than our women
'Cause we can trust German cars
God kissed the Earth only once
Right at the spot where Germany is now
We're the best everywhere, of course in bed too
And to dogs and cats
Especially nice
That's all Germany
That's all us
You won't find that anywhere else
Only here, only here
That's all Germany
That's all us
We live and we die here
We're especially good at smashing faces
You can rely on us for arson too
We're into order and cleanliness
We're ready for a war anytime
Greetings to the world, admit it at last
We can be proud of Germany
Pig, pig, pig, pig
Pig, pig, pig, pig
That's all Germany
That's all us
You won't find that anywhere else
Only here, only here
That's all Germany
That's all us
We live and we die here
That's all Germany
That's all us
You won't find that anywhere else
Only here, only here
That's all Germany
That's all us
We live and we die here

SONG MEANING

“Deutschland” by Die Prinzen is a tongue-in-cheek love letter and roast rolled into one. The band races through a checklist of everything Germans are famous for – precision cars, record-breaking taxes, spotless streets, unbeatable sports teams and, of course, the TV show Wetten, dass..?. Each boast is delivered with a wink, and every compliment is quickly followed by a jab. By piling up clichés, the song highlights how national pride can slip into self-congratulation and how easily stereotypes become caricatures.

Beneath the catchy chorus lies sharp social satire. When the singers claim that “God kissed the earth right where Germany is,” they are deliberately overdoing it. Lines about loving cars more than spouses, vacationing in Thailand for flirtations, or being “ready for war anytime” expose darker undercurrents of xenophobia, consumerism and aggression. In the end, Die Prinzen invite listeners to laugh, cringe and reflect at the same time, reminding us that every country – even a proudly efficient one – has quirks worth celebrating and flaws worth confronting.
