Ever wondered why there is, unlike all other Kraftwerk albums from the official catalogue, no English version of »Autobahn«?
Here is how it could have been translated:
We drive, drive, drive on the autobahn,
we drive, drive, drive on the autobahn...
A valley broad before us lies,
the sunbeams sparkle in our eyes
We drive, drive, drive on the autobahn,
we drive, drive, drive on the autobahn...
The blacktop is a tar-grey stream,
white lines and a verdant seam
We drive, drive, drive on the autobahn,
we drive, drive, drive on the autobahn...
We're switching on the radio
to hear this very chorus go:
WE DRIVE ON THE AUTOBAHN!
(English lyrics by Jörg »Yadgar« Bleimann, 2007)
