lyrics

MEIN SHTETELE BERLIN
(Lyrics by Yuriy Gurzhy ⎜Berlin 2017)

Every city has a history,
Has its own ID
Dancing to its own beat,
It‘s melody
when we are apart,
You're always in my heart
you mean a lot to me

Berlin, mein shtetele Berlin
You play your music on a dusty violin
Been away for too long,
But remember your song // But that‘s where i belong
Berlin, mein shtetele Berlin

I'm full of gratitude
When I'm feeling blue
Turn of my phone and walk
That's what I do
Streets and avenues
Buildings old and new
I'm getting lost in you

People like to go away
When they're on holiday
They'd go to New York
London or Bombay
I want you to know
I like your rain and snow
And so at home I stay

Sometimes it's too hot
Or it rains a lot
Monday I'm happy, but
Tuesday maybe not
Talented and poor
Beautiful and pure
You are all i got
