Two thousand years ago

Two thousand years ago

Two thousand years ago

The proudest boast was

Civis Romanus sum

Today in the world of freedom

The proudest boast is

Ich bin ein Berliner

Ich bin ein Berliner

Berlin

Ich bin ein Berliner

Freedom

Has many difficulties

And democracy is not perfect

But we have never had to put a wall up

To keep our people in

I know of no town

No city

That has been besieged for eighteen years

That still lives with the vitality

And the force

And the hope

And the determination

Of the city of West Berlin

Ich bin ein Berliner
