Freitag

Olaf Gatermann

Freitag

hat Heimweh

nach seiner kleinen Insel,

aber er kann nicht zurückkehren.

Er ist dort nicht sicher

von wegen der feindlichen Stämme.

Und das gilt auch

für all die Yeboahs, Obombos 

N'Djebs, Jattas, Al Husseinis,

Frimpongs, Tourés und Tutus

in Bournemouth, Newcastle,

Norwich, Avignon, Dieppe,

Celle und Potsdam.

    Translation:

    Good Man Friday

    Good Man Friday
    is homesick
    for his small island
    but he can't return
    because he's not save there,
    hostile tribes and all.
    And that's true
    for all the Yeboahs, Obombos,
    N'Djebs, Jattas, Al Husseinis,
    Frimpongs, Tourés und Tutus
    in Bournemouth, Newcastle,
    Norwich, Avignon, Dieppe,
    Celle and Potsdam.

    It's a mess
