Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
De heft ick giern all ümmer hat
Wenn ick eins ünnerwegens bünn
Denn treckt mie dat dor wedder hen
In Rostock dor kenn ick mie ut
Ut Rostock will ick nie nich rut
Nix treckt mie na dat Sachsenland
Rostock mien oll Vadderstadt
Wo de Ostseewellen trecken an den´n Strand
Rostock mien oll Vadderstadt
Mie is hier eine jede Eck bekannt
Ick will nich noa Templin
Ick will nich noa Schwerin
Will nich noa Eggesin
Und schon gornich na Berlin
Im Meckelborg dor blief ick hacken
Ick will an keenen annern Placken
Egal wie sick dat noch ergifft
Ick bünn een de in Rostock blifft
In Rostock geiht´s mie richtig gaud
In Preußen wiert mie leeg to Maud
De Sorben de dünd schlau und flietig
Blots is mie dor de Luft to schietig
Rostock mien oll Vadderstadt
Wo de Ostseewellen trecken an den´n Strand
Rostock mien oll Vadderstadt
Mie is hier eine jede Eck bekannt
Ick will nich noa Templin
Ick will nich noa Schwerin
Will nich noa Eggesin
Und schon gornich na Berlin
Wohen sall denn da Reis nu gaad
Wohen ja wohen, ja wohen
Dorhen wo eis söben Dore hemm'm staan
Dorhen ja dorhen
Rostock mien oll Vadderstadt
Wo de Ostseewellen trecken an den´n Strand
Rostock mien oll Vadderstadt
Mie is hier eine jede Eck bekannt
