   • 1982, “Do kanns zaubere”‎, performed by BAP:

     E wieß Blatt Papier, ne Bleisteff, Jedanke bei dir setz ich
     Am Finster un hür, wat sich avspillt vür der Dür, bes ich
     Avrötsch en die Zick, en där et dich für mich nit jov
     Un mir mi Levve, vürm Daach X, op eimol vürkütt wie en Strof.

     A white sheet of paper, a pencil, thinking of you, I'm sitting
     By the window, listening to what is going on outside the door, until I
     Slide back into that time when you didn't exist for me,
     And in which my life, before D-Day, suddenly appears to me like a punishment.
