Deutsche Bahn Lyrics in English Wise Guys

“Deutsche Bahn” is a cheeky musical ride that turns every traveler’s nightmare into a comedy sketch. Over a bouncing a-cappella groove, the Wise Guys slip into the role of an on-board announcer who apologizes for one absurd mishap after another: cars coupled the wrong way around, a half-hour delay that no one admits, a cow blocking the tracks, and toilets so questionable you should bring your own disinfectant. Each apology is followed by a hilariously accented “Senk ju for träveling wis Deutsche Bahn!” – a playful jab at the rail company’s attempts to sound international while the service itself feels anything but.

Beneath the jokes lies a lighthearted critique of Germany’s once state-run railway: technical glitches, broken heating in winter, useless air-conditioning in summer, and prices that climb as steeply as the frustration of its passengers. By exaggerating every inconvenience, the song invites listeners to laugh at the shared experience of imperfect public transport, reminding us that sometimes the only ticket we really need is a sense of humor.
