[English]
Ajajajaujaaa
Jan Delay ... Yeah!
Yeah - check me out
Yeah, I say Jan Delay, dude what's up
Damn cool because a Hanseatic
The chief stylist (aha), the headliner (aha)
The one who thanks with his music
(Yeah you got)
Haven't had such great beats in a while
The stuff hits hard like in Lebanon
The time was ripe (aha) for new styles (and you are)
Blown away like Berlin and Bonn
(I say) and I came here with my (band)
Because I heard the people in this (country)
They were craving for heavy music that (burns)
And our all-encompassing (sound)
So everyone who wants to party says (Hey)
And everyone who wants to rock says (Hoo)
You are definitely in the right place with Jan De(lay)
We're bringing this stuff to a boil and it's going sooo.
We're making it clear
(I say) We're making it clear
Oh yes (Yeahhi yeahha)
And I say "Oh yeah"
(I say) We're making it clear
We're making it clear (Yeahhhii)
Aja Aj-jau,
I'm half B-Boy and half bohemian
I walk in Lacoste and Ralph Lauren
And always fresh (aha), and without a stain (aha)
The stuff has to shine like halogen
You never see me in a dirty shirt
I'd rather make a track with Björk
The MC Daddy (aha), in Fred Perry (aha)
And non-stylers will get burned away
(I say) and I came here with my (band)
Because I heard the people in this (country)
They were craving for heavy music that (burns)
And our all-encompassing (sound)
So everyone who wants to party says (Hey)
And everyone who wants to rock says (Hoo)
You are definitely in the right place with Jan De(lay)
We're bringing this stuff to a boil and it's going sooo.
We're making it clear
(I say) We're making it clear
(Yeahhi Yeahha)
And I say "Oh yeah"
(I say) We're making it clear
So believe me
(Believe me baby, believe me, yeahhhaa)
Oh man, I say
We're making it clear
We're making it clear
(Ohh ohh oohhh oo. Nanaa naaa naaaa)
Y-Yeah yeah (I love)
The Alster and the Reeperbahn (and hate)
GZSZ and BKA (Yeah I)
Like Ruhrgas (that) so Europe (and)
Someone who pays into the Gema
And while you sit in the pub
And complain that life is crap (yeah)
I'm sitting here (with) pen and paper (and)
One chases the next flash of inspiration
(I say) and I came here with my (band)
Because I heard the people in this (country)
They were craving for heavy music that (burns)
And our all-encompassing (sound)
So everyone who wants to party says (Hey)
And everyone who wants to rock says (Hoo)
You are definitely in the right place with Jan De(lay)
We're bringing this stuff to a boil and it's going sooo.
We're making it clear (Oh yeah)
(I say) We're making it clear
(Yeahhi Yeahha)
(We're making it clear)
And I say "Oh yeah"
(I say) We're making it clear (yeah)
So believe me
(So believe me)
Oh man, I say
We're making it clear
We're making it clear
(We're making it clear)
And I say "Oh yeah"
I say, we're making it clear
Because we're on the start, man
