Dickes B Lyrics in English Seeed

Home / Lyrics Translation / Seeed / Dickes B

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dickes B by Seeed from German to English.

The asphalt shook, it thumped in my ear

When I lost my young heart to a fat beat

Since then I've liked the city more than before

When I cruise through Berlin City, reggae's my engine

I sing on my bike, sometimes bass, sometimes tenor

At home I crank the sound, the neighbors got humor

They're into fresh downbeats from my record store

Concrete jungle, supersonic soundsystem culture

When party's on, we're on the dancefloor

The DJ drops the verse and the Jarvis the chorus

You sink in the bass like a bog corpse in the swamp

It drives you to your knees, 'cause the rhythm's hardcore

We shake what we've got till seven a.m

Elsewhere there's a curfew, here it's the garbage crew

Then we build a fat pipe, yeah, that happens

And blow thick smoke through the Brandenburg Gate

Big B, home on the Spree

In summer you're sweet, in winter it hurts

Mama Berlin, bricks and gasoline

We love your scent when we roam the blocks

Big B, home on the Spree

In summer you're sweet, in winter it hurts

Mama Berlin, bricks and gasoline

We love your scent when we roam the blocks

Berlin air, compared to other cities

Offers the tastiest flavor, the very best qualities

To celebrate parades and exclusive parties

The masses are here now, nobody asked them to

Back then Berlin was about tanks and rockets

Now I live in the East amid flowery wallpaper

I don't care too much about coins and cash

I build a track here and there, but a solid one

Coolness-wise the city's bursting at the seams

But where are the dudes who really step up

To knead their potential, their styles while it's hot

Too much lung power for too few trumpets

Big B, home on the Spree

In summer you're sweet, in winter it hurts

Mama Berlin, bricks and gasoline

We love your scent when we roam the blocks

Big B, home on the Spree

In summer you're sweet, in winter it hurts

Mama Berlin, bricks and gasoline

We love your scent when we roam the blocks

Big B, home on the Spree

In summer you're sweet, in winter it hurts

Mama Berlin, bricks and gasoline

We love your scent when we roam the blocks

Big B, home on the Spree

In summer you're sweet, in winter it hurts

Mama Berlin, bricks and gasoline

We love your scent when we roam the blocks

Big B

SONG MEANING

“Dickes B” is Seeed’s love letter to their hometown, Berlin. Riding a pulsing reggae-infused beat, the band paints the city as a place where asphalt vibrates under booming speakers, bikes become mobile karaoke stages and spontaneous parties replace bedtime. They celebrate the capital’s raw mix of Backsteine (brick walls) and Benzin (gasoline), its concrete jungles and legendary club culture, and the addictive scent of freedom that drifts along the River Spree. Whether it’s summer’s warm vibes or winter’s icy sting, Berlin’s energy keeps hearts thumping and hips shaking until the garbage trucks roll by at dawn.

Beyond the party anthem feel, the lyrics nod to the city’s transformation: from divided battleground to creative playground overflowing with potential. Seeed call on Berliners to seize that creative fire, pump up the trumpets and craft fresh sounds worthy of the city’s colossal beat. In short, “Dickes B” is a bold, bass-driven salute to Berlin’s nightlife, resilience and unbreakable groove—an invitation to lose yourself in the rhythm of the German capital.
