Auswärts Sind Wir Asozial Lyrics in English by Killermichel
Asozial literally translates to "asocial" or "antisocial." While it can describe someone who avoids social interaction, in German slang, it often carries a stronger, more provocative meaning, implying behavior that is deliberately disruptive, non-conformist, or even rebellious against societal norms.
In "Auswärts Sind Wir Asozial," the band uses it to proudly declare their rowdy, uninhibited behavior when traveling for football matches. They embrace the term to describe their wild partying, heavy drinking, and general disregard for polite conduct, turning a potentially negative label into an anthem of their fan culture.
Killermichel wrote this one for the away end, not the couch. "Auswärts sind wir asozial" ("Away, we're antisocial") is the chant German football fans belt out on the road, and the lyrics read exactly like the trip there: "Mit dem Sonderzug nach Bayern" ("With the special train to Bavaria") and "Oder mit 'nem Bus nach Prag" ("Or with a bus to Prague") set the destination before the drinking even starts. Loud is the whole point: "Wir sind laut, ihr so leise" ("We're loud, you're so quiet") and "Niemals nüchtern, immer asozial" ("Never sober, always antisocial") turn bad behavior into the away crowd's whole identity.
The chorus doesn't apologize for any of it. "Steht eure Stadt in Flammen" ("Is your city in flames") and "Waren wir wahrscheinlich da" ("We were probably there") is a joke about the fans' reputation, not a confession, and the song closes on the same promise every year: "Im nächsten Jahr sind wir wieder hier" ("Next year we'll be here again"). Between the chants sits the actual checklist for a good road trip: "Alkohol und schöne Frauen" ("Alcohol and beautiful women"), "Currywurst und Dosenbier" ("Currywurst and canned beer").
