Verse 1
My respects to you, dear language barrier
You often and gladly get in my way
I have no clue, not even a vague one
End of the line, such a wretched misery
A doctrine isn't a female doctor
A blockade isn't a trendy Berlin lemonade
Bebop isn't a bobsled
The Sugababes aren't Atomic Kitten
Lol, for example, etcetera, personal bad luck
Chorus 1
Yeah no
Surely clear
Everything's okay
Everything's wonderful
Yeah no
Nothing's clear
Who's Roger?
Who's Roger?
Verse 2
Hopefulness is a variable quantity
You'd rather have dumplings with sauce than make a fool of yourself
What I
What I don't
What I don't know makes me hot
Chorus 2
Yeah no
Surely clear
Everything's okay
Everything's wonderful
Yeah no
Nothing's clear
Who's Roger?
Who's Roger?
Bridge
Niveau isn't a cream
Empathy isn't a problem
We firmly note
To be an ass is human
Chorus 3
Yeah no
Surely clear
Everything's okay
Everything's wonderful
Yeah no
Nothing's clear
Who's Roger?
Who the hell?

Ever felt like you're totally lost in translation? Sportfreunde Stiller gets it. This song is a hilarious and chaotic celebration of misunderstanding. It kicks off by greeting the "liebe Sprachbarriere" [dear language barrier] that loves to get in the way, leading to a feeling of "Ende Gelände sone Elende Misere" [end of the line, such a miserable situation]. The verses are a rapid-fire list of funny wordplay and things that sound similar but are definitely not the same, like how "Niveau ist keine Creme" [Class/Style is not a cream], a great little joke about the Nivea brand.

The whole thing builds to the fantastic chorus. First, the band sarcastically sings "Alles Roger / Alles wunderbar" [Everything's okay / Everything's wonderful], using a common German phrase. But then they immediately flip it around and ask the most logical question: "Nichts ist klar / Wer ist Roger?" [Nothing is clear / Who is Roger?]. It's a super clever and funny way to point out how absurd language can be when you take it literally. The song is a playful mess of confusion, jokes, and rock music.
