The song "Geld" by Malaria! is a commentary on the power and influence of money in society. The lyrics begin with the phrase "Geldachtung!" which can be translated to "Money alert!" As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the band is commenting on how money has become a new religion, or an alternate belief system, that drives people's lives. The line "our faith is our world, our faith is our money" emphasizes this point.
The song highlights the idea that there is no clarity in society without money. The lyrics say "there is no clarity, there is no mist" meaning without money, everything is unclear and uncertain. The singer seems to be critical of this obsession with money, lamenting that they have been seduced and led astray by it. The line "buying faith, paying up" suggests that people are willing to do anything for money, even if it goes against their morals or beliefs.
Overall, the song "Geld" is a powerful commentary on the influence of money in our lives. It exposes the danger of valuing money over everything else and the impact that it has on our society as a whole.

DINHEIRO
Respeito!
Perigo!
O dinheiro estimula as novas religiões do mundo,
Religiões antigas, nossa fé é
Nosso mundo, nossa fé é nosso dinheiro.
Não há clareza, não há névoa cega Corri atrás de mim
Deixe-me seduzir novas religiões,
Religiões antigas, nossa fé é
Nosso mundo, nossa fé é nosso dinheiro.
Compre acredite em números, não há clareza, não há nenhuma
Nebelach, se eu não tivesse fome, como poderia ser feliz!
Nossa crença é nosso mundo, nossa crença é nosso dinheiro.

Es una maravilla, desde 1981 conozco a Malaria pero jamas imagine poder ver un video de ellos. y ahora que puedo hacerlo las lagrimas de emocion brotan al contemplar el frenesi de las imagenes conjugada con la epilepcia de los movimientos y la blancura de la piel contrastando con el armesi de los labios de esa imagen femenina. Simplemente Dark del mejor que alemania vivio. ¡¡¡ Danke gudrungut !!!

Mega geiler Song! So eine wunderbare Musik gibt’s im heutigen Mainstream nicht mehr! Danke an Malaria für ein großes Stück Musikgeschichte! Und die schöne Erinnerung an meine Jugend!
Image Fatale
A few years ago, when I sometimes called myself DJ WenKar (we were a duo), the re-release of this album had always a place in my flightcase. The S-8 images recall my own trashy film school works. Eager to hear your new album, Gudrun Gut. (Good indeed).
