1.Verse:

1st Verse:

Der Asphaltboden zitterte es wummerte im Ohr

The asphalt shook, it thumped in my ear

Als ich an einen dicken Beat mein junges Herz verlor

When I lost my young heart to a thick beat.

Seit damals gefällt mir die Stadt besser als zuvor

Since then, I like the city better than before,

Wenn ich durch Berlin-City cruise is Reggae mein Motor.

When I cruise through Berlin City, reggae is my engine.

Ich singe auf dem Fahrrad, mal Bass und mal Tenor

I sing on my bike, sometimes bass and sometimes tenor,

Zuhause dreh ich Sound auf, die Nachbarn ham Humor.

At home I turn up the sound, the neighbors have a sense of humor.

Die stehn auf frische Downbeats aus meinem Recordstore

They dig fresh downbeats from my record store,

- Concrete Jungle, Supersonic - Soundsystemkultur.

- Concrete jungle, supersonic - sound system culture.

Wenn Party is, dann sind wir on the dance floor,

When there's a party, we're on the dance floor,

Der Deejay macht den Vers und die yardies den Chor.

The DJ makes the verse and the yardies the chorus.

Du versinkst im Bass wie'ne Moorleiche im Moor,

You sink into the bass like a bog body in the swamp,

Es zwingt dich in die Knie, denn der rhythm is Hardcore.

It brings you to your knees, because the rhythm is hardcore.

Wir shaken, was wir haben bis morgens 7 Uhr,

We shake what we have until 7 in the morning,

Woanders gibt's 'ne Sperrstunde, bei uns die Müllabfuhr

Elsewhere there's a curfew, but here it's garbage collection.

- Dann baun wir'n dickes Rohr, kommt dann schon mal vor,

- Then we build a thick pipe, that happens sometimes,

Und blasen dicken Smoke durchs Brandenburger Tor.

And blow thick smoke through the Brandenburg Gate.

Bietet leckersten Geschmack, allerbeste Qualitäten,

Um Paraden zu feiern und exclusive Feten

- Die Massen sind jetzt da, es hat sie niemand drum gebeten!

Früher ging's in Berlin um Panzer und Raketen,

In the past, Berlin was about tanks and rockets,

Heute lebe ich im Osten zwischen Blümchentapeten,

Today I live in the East among flower wallpapers,

Kümmer mich nicht allzusehr um Taler und Moneten,

I don't care too much about coins and bills,

Baue hier und da'n Track, aber dafür'n Konkreten!

I build a track here and there, but for that, a concrete one!

Coolnessmäßig platzt die Stadt aus allen Nähten,

Aber wo sind jetzt die Typen, die auch ernsthaft antreten,

But where are the guys who seriously step up,

Um ihr Potential, ihre Styles heiß zu kneten,

To knead their potential, their styles hot,

Zuviel Kraft in der Lunge für zuwenige Trompeten...

Too much power in the lungs for too few trumpets...
