Lyrics and translation Luuk feat. Nativ - Wo ich herchume

Wo ich herchume

Ich han mir nöd usgsuecht
Vo wo das ich herchume
Gebore nünzäh nün null
Wolishofe, Nabelschnuer um de Hals
Kaiserschnitt, Seele,
Alles zäme wiene Quersumme
Das heisst für die Wält jetzt
Ich chume bald
Ich will nur guets mache
Isch die Attitude
Und wänn öbbis wiiter wachst
Isch die Ärde guet
Also mach mer nöd uf Hass
Wänn nöd sterbe muesch
Du bisch da i dim Palast
Mach dis Fänster uf
Mit 14ni weg us dä Stadt ines Dorf
Gseh jetzt die Kluft
I däm Land sägmer wo
Hätts kän Platz meh für Hilf
Und dass niemert dörf cho
Mir lebet da fern ab vo Not
Also was fallt dir ih man
Da gahts nid um dich
Chopf-Figg-Paradies
So gfiggt isch die Schwiz
Euse Wohlstand hät Vorrang
Vor Flüchtlingsboot in Europa

Mir isch so glych wo här du bisch
Wöu du mir nid nume ähnlich bisch
O we üsi Festig es Gfängniss isch
Homie lueg die Wäut sie verändert sich
Chume vomne Ort wo nid gfährlich wirkt
Aber lueg der Tod isch nid wählerisch
Und darum isch Stouz wienes Närvegift
Wo macht das der Mönsch no vergässe wird

Ha nid usgseucht woni härchumä
I ha z Läbe geng fair gfunge
Bisi ha gmerkt, s isch nid für aui glych
Sie mache geng none Ungerschied
Zwüsche arm und riich
Doch es isch jede glych
Wenner bi Mama ide Arme liit
Es geit um Liebi bro
Lieb dini nächste
Empathie isch kes Verbräche
Bräche mit dr Tradition
Üs wöue z vrteidige
Wär im Reine mit sich säuber isch
Chamä nid beleidigä
Drum figg Staate
Wöu si aues mitmache
Figg Waffe
Wöu si üsi Zuekunft mitgstaute
I hasse niemer u nüt
Aber so viu Mönsche da usse
Si verdiene sich das nid
Mir si jede Tag am Tod id Ouge luege
Müesse d Problem a de Wurzle packe
U nid nur ufd Fouge luege
U bis der Change üs sägnet
Spreadid z Wort egau ob Sunne oder Räge

Mir isch so glych wo här du bisch
Wöu du mir nid nume ähnlich bisch
O we üsi Festig es Gfängniss isch
Homie lueg die Wäut sie verändert sich
Chume vomne Ort wo nid gfährlich wirkt
Aber lueg der Tod isch nid wählerisch
Und darum isch Stouz wienes Närvegift
Wo macht das der Mönsch no vergässe wird
Mir isch so glych wo här du bisch
Wöu du mir nid nume ähnlich bisch
O we üsi Festig es Gfängniss isch
Homie lueg die Wäut sie verändert sich
Chume vomne Ort wo nid gfährlich wirkt
Aber lueg der Tod isch nid wählerisch
Und darum isch Stouz wienes Närvegift
Wo macht das der Mönsch no vergässe wird

Where I come from

I didn't choose
Where I come from
Born nineteen ninety
Wolishofe, umbilical cord around my neck
Caesarean section, soul,
All together like a cross sum
That means for the world now
I'm coming soon
I just want to do good
That's the attitude
And when something grows further
The earth is good
So don't make me hate
When you don't have to die
You're in your palace
Open your window
At 14 I left the city for a village
See the gap now
In this land we say where
There was no more room for help
And that no one should come
We live here far from need
So what do you think, man
It's not about you
Head-fuck-paradise
That's how fucked up Switzerland is
Our wealth takes precedence
Before refugee boats in Europe

I'm so similar to where you're from
Because you're not just similar to me
Oh, if our fortress is a prison
Homie, look at this world, it's changing
Coming from a place that doesn't seem dangerous
But look, death is not discriminatory
And that's why pride is like nerve poison
Which makes people forget

I didn't choose where I came from
I always found life fair
Until I realized it's not the same for everyone
They always make a difference
Between rich and poor
But everyone is equal
When they're in their mother's arms
It's about love, bro
Love your neighbor
Empathy is not a crime
Break with tradition
We want to defend ourselves
Whoever is clean with themselves
Shouldn't be offended
So fuck the state
Because they do everything
Fuck weapons
Because they choke our future
I hate no one and nothing
But so many people out there
Don't deserve it
We look death in the eye every day
We have to tackle the problem at its root
And not just look at the consequences
Until the change blesses us
Spread the word, regardless of sun or rain

I'm so similar to where you're from
Because you're not just similar to me
Oh, if our fortress is a prison
Homie, look at this world, it's changing
Coming from a place that doesn't seem dangerous
But look, death is not discriminatory
And that's why pride is like nerve poison
Which makes people forget
I'm so similar to where you're from
Because you're not just similar to me
Oh, if our fortress is a prison
Homie, look at this world, it's changing
Coming from a place that doesn't seem dangerous
But look, death is not discriminatory
And that's why pride is like nerve poison
Which makes people forget
