BORN TO DIE IN BERLIN-The Ramones

[stinkydo0d]

Going from a song about fun which is the Blitzkrieg Bop to this. It sounds like two totally different groups. Born to Die in Berlin is poetry, and Blitzkrieg Bop is just a fun song. Very different.

[i8bitRage]

why does this remind me of the holocaust -__-

[mar3451000]

@i8bitRage Because you are an asshole ;)

[dnavega]

great song! one of my favourites

Great image of Joy Ramone at the end also!

PRA SEMPRE RAMONES!!!

[chumrnnr]

This song appears on Nina Hagens 1996 album Bee Happy. writing credits are Dee Dee Ramone /Nina Hagen. Nina wrote the German verse. There are four more Dee Dee tracks on that album "Zero Zero UFO", "Star Girl", "Leave me Alone" and "Runaway" if anyone is interested.

Everybody who loves dee dee speaking German will love his song "dEE dEE kING - German kid "

[JackRabbitRamone]

dee dee wrote this, and I agree it's one of the lesser known but just as great ramones songs

[MsJullejulle]

We lost this guys to soon. R.I.P.

[MrSuperiltubo]

Written by John Carco and Dee Dee.

[henneskater]

yo dude´s

I am German guy

the german text is:

... Küss mich jetzt, Mädchen

Es ist alles wahr

Du kannst es lesen in der Morgenpost, OK

Der Winter wird wieder kalt werden

Und Berliner wollen Amerika

Von Menschen, die sterben

Unter den weißen Blüten ...

[Littbarski14]

IRREALISTICH

[puppetexecution]

what does the german mean?

[blokey01]

great song, not enough people know it!

[MissingRagDoll]

Dee Dee can speak German because he grew up in Germany

[tundajr]

he means that, is his opinion was not write by ramones ....

anyway... nice video, nice song, ramones forever!!!

Jr brazil

[pbot2029]

Dude, this song was written by Dee Dee wasn't it? What do you mean it wasn't written by the Ramones?

[posuerbuster]

Dee Dee wrote this song for the Ramones with his then bass player Johnny Carco.

[malorymicky]

Following a short translation of the german verse (what I could understand)

Küss mich jetzt, Mädchen

Es ist alles wahr

Du kannst es lesen in der Morgenpost, OK

Der Winter wird wieder kalt werden

Und Berliner wollen Amerika

Von Menschen, die sterben

Unter den weißen Blüten

Kiss me now girl,everything is true, you can read it in the Morgenpost (German newspaper)- OK. The winter is going to be cold again and Berlins want America. People who die under white flowers.

[haggisman1971]

Sounds good to me, although I hear the second last line as "vorgestern gestorben"

I can't understand how some German people say they can't make out a word Dee Dee sings. I'm not German and don't speak the language properly but I managed to get most of it myself.

Hey, what a bunch of saddos we are, striving to transcribe a fuzzy German passage in the middle of a punk song.

[posuerbuster]

The lyric is not 'Der Winter' it's "Anita Berber" (google her name for more info).

[haggisman1971]

@posuerbuster

You're right, Dee Dee does metion Anita Berber during his singing part.

[Headbanger142]

@posuerbuster Anita Berber's gonna be cold again??

[bad13star]

@malorymicky Good job, translation's right. (:

[MrLenni96]

@malorymicky wow how do you understand that im from germany and i dont understand a word

[rodrigoezequielneira]

@malorymicky thanx man I was looking for that translation everywhere

[PhantasmaReal]

One of my favorite songs from the adios amigos album. Thanks for posting it.

About 3rd verse - I understand:

küss mich jetzt, mädchen

es ist alles wahr

du kannst unmöglich in den [???] gehen

am Mittag werden sie ["Schreie?"] hören

und Berliner wollen Amerika

[???] möchte ich sterben

unter den [???] ["Linden?/Blicken?"]

[GianMariaDaCuneo]

Thanks ;-)

[guyplayfair]

Thanks for posting this. Great song. great band.

[budmotor]

RamonesMania was my first punk album i was thirteen old and proud

[nonvolt]

[BBBAAANNNAAANNNEEE]

I'm from german but I didn't understand the german verse xD

[Fonzie182]

Aahahah really? Then it's not German!! Thank you anyways!!

[Fonzie182]

Hey guys, does someone know what Dee Dee says on third verse in German??

[ramoneFreek]

thats not dee dee it cj

[Fonzie182]

Yeah, right! But what does he say in German???

[ramoneFreek]

idk i dont speek german but its cj cause its there last album

[Fonzie182]

Yeah no doubt about that. Dee Dee quit in 1988, of course. But as i don't speak german i always wanted to know what the third verse says! Can someone who speaks german explain it out to me?

[Sid3nt3rtainm3nt]

omg its german but cj cant sing german very good.

iam german i understand some parts:

[....]es ist alles wahr,

und du kannst es hören in den [..] in Berlin,

und Berlin voll [...]

und du kannst es hören in den [...] in Berlin.

[sinnvollproductions]

It's not CJ, it's Dee Dee. Although he wasn't in the band at that moment he sang the third verse. It was recorded during a phone call.

[DrSeemann666]

it was CJ. Dee Dee had a darker voice. and they used some effect, it was no phone call.

[crass86jake]

wrong

[miguelonzon]

@DrSeemann666 you are so wrong. it was dee dee

[Ramstoned]

this is a real Ramone song.

Leather jackets and dragracers

[PETERLONG2]

Lol good job ben :D

[budmotor]

something real

[TheAdolphos]

great job! love the ramones!

[rnrhighschool]

Hey Ho.. That's Dee Dee Ramone singing in german on this song! You can find his solo band doing 'Time Bomb' (also written by Dee Dee) on youtube.

[rnrhighschool]

Nah. This song and about 4 other songs on the 'Adios Amigos' cd were originally on Dee Dee's solo cd that came out the year before 'Adios Amigios' (1995) it's called 'I Hate Freaks Like You' (1994). Credits on the cd read "written by Dee Dee Ramone & Johnny Carco" his then bass player in his solo band Dee Dee Ramone I.C.L.C.

[rubberbandman84]

I cant find this song on freaks. I wish i could cos it's up there with some of the best songs i've ever heard, please enlighten me as to where i can find a dee dee version =)

[rnrhighschool]

Written by Dee Dee of course!

[benji5630]

no, i think it was written by this random man and they payed them like $40,000 to put it on their album

[TheStupidDrunk]

@benji5630 I don't know where you get your information, but it's wrong..

[traciroxx85]

On the cd the writing credits are Dee Dee Ramome, Johnny Carco

[MrGabe45rlima]

@rnrhighschool ben has the reason...
