Die Arzte – Schrei nach Liebe (Piano cover by VkGoesWild)
«Schrei nach Liebe» («Cry for love») is a punk song by Die Ärzte. It is the second track and the first single from their 1993 album Die Bestie in Menschengestalt. It is one of the best known political anthems and anti-fascist songs in Germany and was made in the context of the Riot of Hoyerswerda.
The verses tell the story of a fictional right-wing extremist, who gets insulted. Excerpts from the songs lyrics (with English translation):
German: „Du bist wirklich saudumm [..] Alles muss man dir erklären, weil du wirklich gar nichts weißt..”
English: «You are really stupid [..] Everything has to be explained to you, because you really don’t know anything..»
In the chorus the insults go further:
German: „Deine Gewalt ist nur ein stummer Schrei nach Liebe [..] Du hast nie gelernt dich zu artikulieren. Deine Eltern hatten niemals für dich Zeit”.
English: «Your violence is just a silent cry for love [..] You never learned to express yourself. Your parents never had time for you».
The chorus ends with «Arschloch», which is German for Asshole.
