- Thank you so much for 1,000 subscribers! :DD (this is the 1K special)
The word "Ami" roughly translates to "Yankee" (German slang for "American")
Special thanks to @StormAce96 for transcribing the entire thing :)
Original audio: • Ami, go home!
0:23- "Pershing Number Two" (Pershing II) refers to an American missile by the same name, of which 108 were deployed in (West) Germany in 1979-80.
0:25- "die cruise-missile" refers to American Ground Launched Cruise Missiles, 160 of which were deployed to Europe.
0:56- "Schmierenkomödiant" literally means "bad actor" or "bad comedian", in this case a "clown" (the US president at the time).
1:24- "stay within your own longitude!" is a literal translation of the phrase "Bleib auf deinem Längengrad!" but can be translated to "stay within your own boundaries!"
1:25- "dollar-dance" or money dance- en.wikipedia.o...
1:55- The audio breaks here so its hard to tell what is actually being said.
Theres no English article on the song, only a German one.

LYRICS:
(Go home, Ami Ami, go home!
Ab nachhaus' ins Pentagon
Schafft den abnormalen Dreck
Auch gefälligst wieder weg
Wir wollen leben und haben hier kein Platz dafür!)
Kommen Pershing Number Two
Und die cruise-missile dazu
Liebesgruß von Freund und Partner USA
Uncle Sam träumt noch vom Sieg
In dem letzten großen Krieg
In Europa ist dann nur noch Asche da
Go home, Ami Ami, go home!
...
CIA und Ku-Klux-Clan
Haben jetzt den besten Mann
Ein Schmierenkomödiant im Weißen Haus
Und des Cowboys Größenwahn
Leuchtet der Nation voran
Dieses Spiel ist zu fatal - lasst uns da raus!
Go home, Ami Ami, go home!
…
Ami, hör' auf unser'n Rat:
Bleib auf deinem Längengrad!
Samt Dollar-Dance und Disco-Melodie
„Way of life“, wir danken's sehr
Nein - wir spielen jetzt nicht mehr!
Coca-Cola und McDonald's Kolonie
Go home, Ami Ami, go home!
…
Deine Freunde, Uncle Sam
Sehen wir auch viel lieber gehen
Deinen Sheriff [AUDIO BREAK]
nach Arizona mit
Dann haben wir das ganze Pack vom Hals!
Go home, Ami Ami, go home!
…
Ami, nimm's doch wie es ist
Sieh mal, ehe du dich versiehst
Sind die Lügen und der Dollar nix mehr wert
Fehlschlag; damals Vietnam
Fehlschlag; dein Neutronenplan
Und das Lied wird lauter überall gehört
Go home, Ami Ami, go home!
…
OH NO I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!
THE LYRICS ARE ON THE SCREEN!?!?!?
NOOOOOOOOOO
just fyi, I think this is a west German version since the USA are mentioned as friends and partners while they say "Den Genscher und den schmidt nehmt nach Arizona mit", both were German politicians in the 70s
sagen die nicht eher atomaren dreck anstatt abnormalen?
I love that you included "translation notes", it makes it even better.
Die "AMIS" sollen bleiben wo sie hingehören! Im Pentagon, einsperren und Schlüssel wegschmeißen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not only it's a rare recording, it has different lyrics! Very good find!
I noticed that too! I kinda want to know how the different Versions of this Song were Created...
Ami! HAU AB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“With your Coca Cola and McDonald’s colony”
I guess that’s what USA is
More like Starbucks colony but that works too
i think its referring to west Germany. both the russians and americans claimed to be "liberators" and they set up their own puppet states in the east and west, but today all of Europe is " Coca Cola and McDonald’s colony”
I think it refers to Western European nations that accepted US international businesses
*"Ein Schmierenkomödiant im Weißen Haus"* is the most relate thing ever said
This is the type of song you'd listen w/ ur colleagues in a local pub. Well picked!
Thank you :)
"Clown in White house" is very realistic for 2023
No
Trump is still better than 70 year old man with dementia 💀
It's very realistic always !
@@stephenbachmann1171 Oh buddy, we've had clowns in office as far back as 1980.
@@ninyaninjabrifsanovichthes45only 1980? Way farther back than that! (Ex: Woodrow Wilson, Teddy Roosevelt, Andrew Jackson)
We are not the same:
You learnt German because you like GFR, I learnt German because I like GDR.
I learnt because I like Drittes Rei...
Oh sh*t, its FBI at my door

You LOST! Communism fell.
I learned German because i love Prussia. We are not the same.
@@wolfganggerhard9790 E desde quando o FBI pode atuar no Brasil? Hahaha
After the break in 1:55 it says "und den Gentscher und den Schmidt nach Arizona mit"
Who are they?
@@seronymus The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Chancellor
Great version of this classic
Congrats on 1k
Thank you :)
OK THESE LYRICS ARE RLY GOOD TOO
Really a fun and nice song lol. Interesting version. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
"0:56- "Schmierenkomödiant" literally means "bad actor" or "bad comedian", in this case a "clown" (the US president at the time)."
Assuming this is referring to Reagan, it's probably meant literally. He _was_ a bad actor before entering politics.
Probably did lol, I decided to use "clown" instead though
@@cortexradio I mean that is also accurate
i thought they meant trump
@@kapitanpufferfish5164 yup its referring to reagan, someone in the comments confirmed it
@@ibimssssthis song was written way before trump became president+ he wasnt that bad
Amazing version!
Thank you!
Nice to see you here, I love your videos :)
As an American I can say this is a certifed hood classic
What hood and where? In Germany they do not have communism anymore.
The song is literally based off an American civil war song called “Tramp Tramp Tramp”
As an American, I hate when American people be American on American land.
Say thatto German Government@@michaelcraig9449
There is one major error in the lyrics: They don't sing "abnormalen Dreck" but "atomaren Dreck" in reference to the nukes in West Germany.
At 1:55- It says:Und den Genscher und den Schmidt nimm nach Arizona mit
(Take Genscher and Schmidt to Arizona)
Genscher was Foreign Minister and Schmidt Chancellor of germany
Helmut Schmidt ?
@@TheNewOrder-DaysOfConflict Yes
Interessant danke, warum Arizona?
Brings a tear to your eye
Wow such an cool song from eastern german about the germans wanting their own land and not american beings there and taking over.
They started the war, and they LOST it. that was the only reason the US was there.
The Russians already took over. East Germany was merely a Soviet puppet and the song isn’t even east german it was an American civil war song called “Tramp Tramp Tramp” and they added German lyrics to it
@@NotNormal654Do you even know how the GDR was formed?
Love how American the music sounds
Never forget Hiroshima nagasaki
meh i feel like while what happened was shocking, it was a way to get Japan out and finish the war
@@theLopBopian Japan was finished long before that, there was no need for the atom bombs and crucially the American leadership knew it at the time too. There was too much momentum and political capital invested in moving ahead with the atom bombs, so they dropped them. An unjustified war crime either way. Obviously there is more to the story, but the bottom line is, the narrative of "it was the only way to make them surrender" was manufactured after the fact. At the time, every party knew Japan was finished. Japan knew it, the USSR knew it and the USA knew it. It was not "necessary" to force a surrender.
@@theLopBopian spalte für dem frieden dein atom
@@Jifey Ich bin nicht ein Amerikaner doch Ulster-Schotten
Und den genscher und den schmidt nimm nach arizona mit.
Genscher: Minister of foreign Affaires
Schmidt: Chancellor
What means the Song is from the time about 1981-82
I suppose you own the record? Thank you so much!
@@cortexradio not realy but that is the first Thing i understand after that error
Weiß irgendjemand den Text von der Stelle als es eine Audio-Unterbrechung gab? Does anybody know the lyrics for the passage when there was the audio flipped?
Correction: It's "schafft den atomaren (nuclear) Dreck" instead of "abnormalen Dreck" in the refrain.
Aber abnormaler Dreck beschreibt die Amis besser als atomaren Dreck😉
Love how over the top this song sounds, both with its vibe and message. Absolute bop, even though I don't really agree with its message.
Åk hem, Hamas Hamas, åk hem!
Congratulations!
Thank you :D
My comment didn't post :( but what is a "dollar dance" anyway? Also I love this we need a 2023 version. At 2:25 Afghanistan would fit perfectly
According to Wikipedia: “an event at some wedding receptions in various cultures. During a money dance, male guests pay to dance briefly with the bride, and sometimes female guests pay to dance with the groom.”
@@Nordbon1523 interesting, but how does that fit the context of East Germany vs USA?
@@seronymus It's either something metaphorical I don't get, or it's a joke based on the fact that the currency of the USA is called the dollar.
@@Nordbon1523 that's probably it, I was first thinking of some political gaffe or economic strategy from the 80s by NATO
@@seronymusI’d probably assume it’s just another jab at American culture
Gibt es das auch in besser?
I'd like to say they say Atomaren Dreck and not abnormalen dreck (atomar means nuclear)
Åk hem, El-haj! Åk hem!
😂😂😂 crazy! Jo da tanzt man doch gleich mit.
Straight DDR banger
Think my grandfather used to sing something similar to this during his younger days in Argentina
Diese Version muss der 1980er sein. Wird verschleiert über Ronald Reagan gesungen.
Bruh this is so good for 2025
Ami go home!
1:58 I hear "schmitt" which is "Schmitt" in german
He probably said schmidt, the German version of smith
I think its not "abnormalen", its "atomaren" (=atomic) Dreck. Please correct
Nein das passt schon so😉
Passt!!!
clown in the whitehouse? which one? theres plenty to choose from
First one here lol
Congratulations.
Congrats lol
@@cortexradio Thanks for the great content. I only knew of a different version of this song lmao. 🙃
@hunterr.4892 not exactly sure on the origins of this version, as only one was found on RUclips and the lyrics weren't there online, so yeah. Thank you! :)
German...who else ?
Amis go home
This aged well, didn't it..... "Go, go, go home Russland!!"
Hey, can you update this version of the song without the audio break?
I would, but I do not have the version without the audio break
@@cortexradio dang... you can't find a way to edit it out or anything?
@@christopherpowell3166 it would sound even weirder than it is already, so no
@@cortexradio fair enough, it's an absolutely amazing song tbh, so I understand
fr
Well , the yanks did not "go home" and Germany / Europe do not have PEACE. Good sentiment in the song though.
Even RUclips is a Western produce.
...and what difference does that make
@@cortexradio ,the difference Is,that RUclips has been created by these Americans you so much despise.
and how do you know that I despise Americans?
@@cortexradio,by the fact that you host an Antiamerican song in your Channel.
@@PaoloCavestro-ey9bb among several other songs, yes, but also including american ones smartass
Great song, although the lyrics is flawed. Some words are inaccurately translated and some verses refer to another, in which the meaning has not been accurately translated
Such as?
@@seronymus 1. Its not ''abnormalen Dreck/abnormal mess'' but ''atomaren Dreck/atomic trash'' referring to US nukes and Pershing II rockets or MGM-52 Lance missiles.
2. ''Schmierenkomödiant im Weißen Haus'' is not ''clown-'' but rather ''bad actor in the white house'' a much closer translation which would also fit to it addressing Reagan directly who was an actor bevor his political career. although this is kinda explained in the desc.
3. ''Lasst uns da raus'' is ambiguous it could mean both ''Let us get out of here'' and ''Leave us out of it'' at the same time, I find the second one much more fitting in regards to the entire setting but that is up to the original author of the Text.
4. ''Nein wir spielen jetzt nicht mehr (mit) Coca-Cola und McDonalds Kolonie'' the ''mit'' is not sung, and the actual translated lyrics is ''we wont play Coca-Cola and McDonalds colony anymore!'' or ''were done being a Coca-Cola and McDonalds Colony!''.
5. at the point where the sound is cut off ''und den Genscher und den Schmidt'' is missing in the Lyrics.
6. ''Sieh mal, eh du dich versiehst, sind die Lügen und der Dollar nichts mehr wert (?)'' The sentence being a question makes absolutely no sense, the two verses are related and the actual translation is ''Look before you miss it, your lies and the Dollar will be worthless'' While technically the English translation is correct as well because the wording and comma usage makes it ambiguous, the question mark is still wrong because it makes in both cases no sense for the sentence to be a question.
@@ultradoodle2528 Danke schön, that's very fascinating and helpful to me as a student and amateur linguist, I appreciate it, Schmierekömodant or however you spell it should be used more 🤔
Using a music genre that originated in america, to only sing how you want americans gone
Genius
Talk about biting the hand that feeds you!
@@michaelcraig9449 and biting the hand that steals from others
@@samparticle Communism is no answer for that, it is dead, the Soviets and all of Europe got rid of it 33 years ago. So, raw robber capitalism is also not the way to go. We need to do so much better than these 2 extremes of absurdity. How about honest business and good hard work? The way it is now is no good. I know we can all do better.
Folk music was invented in USA?
@@seronymus Every nation has its own folk music, their ancient roots music. All nations have this. There is much of it on youtube!
Welcher us präsident ist in dem lied gemeint?
Wahrscheinlich Ronald Reagan, da er Schauspieler war, bevor er Präsident wurde. Ich bin mir über das Datum dieser Aufnahme nicht sicher, daher kann ich es nicht bestätigen. Wenn mein Deutsch schlecht ist, liegt das daran, dass ich einen Übersetzer benutzt habe, lol
@@cortexradio was ist denn deine nationalität?

Go home go Home auslander!
It appears that singing "Ruski, go home" was too dangerous
Exactly
No country on the planet should trust the Americans.
~ John Mearsheimer
The difference is that Russians eventually went back home, the American are still there controlling Germany.
@imperiya1871 unfortunately still there it seems
@imperiya1871 what am I coping about? The fact that I want America to step back a bit?
The picture at the end completely ruins it. These people dont live in our reality and dont understand the song either.
What dou mean?
@@leehaiko3999 They think that Ukraine is a puppet state of the US and that the US are leading a proxy war against Russia.
The people who used to sing these tunes are the same ones in the photo who are now older. They probably know a lot more about how these Cold War type tensions work than some regard who buys into social media campaigns designed to convince you to fork over more money for war
Der Ivan war auch nicht besser, als der Cowboy.
🤓☝️Wer dies sich traut zu singen, sollte sich nicht wundern wenn er als "Verdachtsfall" vom BfV eingestuft wird.😅
Ami welcom, Ivan Go Home 😂😂😂
Hypocrites.
how?
3ami Go Home" ... The "Ami's" were not in East-Germany. That part of Germany, the GDR, was occupied by the Red Army. But singing "Ruski, Go Home' was to dangerous, I presume. Kneeling for Moskow, and then singing about the Pentagon. Know your masters ... obey them....
Exactly they were soviet meat riders and the east german government was a soviet puppet
Да,ведь целовать пятки вашингтонскому обкому и старому деду бидону-гораздо лучше.Германия катится в пропасть из за политики проводимой США по отношению к Европе и европейских политиков,которые лежат под США
but they were in the west
They were occupying all the German land west Elba, especially west Berlin
Nein Ostdeutschland (DDR) haben die Amerikaner (Ami) eher durchschaut und den teufel in denen erkannt!😂😂😂

so is the famous tactical retreat from vietnam

@@TheofficialSirenheadr wheres your non lgbt population?

The reality was that the people were on the streets shouting "Ivan go home!" until soviet tanks silenced them. Then for the entirety of East Germanys existence, its people tried their hardest to escape to the coca cola colony.
