Germany - Wenn überall Land wär


Our entry for Schoolovision's anniversary edition plays with languages - also made up ones, and talks about making friends with people from around the world.


Wenn überall Land wär‘ und nirgends mehr Meer,
dann holt‘ ich mir Freunde von überall her.

Den einen vom Nordpol, den ander'n vom Nil
und einen vom Ganges, das wär‘ nicht zu viel.

Aus Hütten und Häusern, aus Zelt und Iglu.
Die Buben, die Mädchen, die nähm‘ ich dazu.

Dann springen wir alle - schwarz, weiß, groß und klein -
die Straße hinunter und laden dich ein.


If there were land everywhere and no sea anymore,
then I would bring friends from everywhere.

One from the North Pole, the other from the Nile
and one from the Ganges, that wouldn’t be too much.

From huts and houses, from tent and igloo.
The boys, the girls, I’d take them along.

Then we’ll all black, white, big and small
jump down the street and invite you, too.

  1. I watched your video in the morning and it brought spring to my mind. In Estonia we don't have leaves yet.
    In the video everybody is so happy and I love these face paitings. The song is very cheerful.
    I started to think that we all have our own signature for creating videos and we can recognize each other without knowing the country. Is it right that all German videos are shooted outdoors:)

    Good luck!

  2. Another lovely entry to enjoy from Germany! I feel like I know the area around your school very well these days, even though I haven't visited it...yet!
    I wish we had spring-like weather here. It's still cool here in Scotland, like in Estonia.
    Like Ingrid, i also really enjoyed seeing the face-paintings and seeing how a cheerful song has the ability to bring us all together.
    Good luck from Scotland!

  8. You have spring - we have snow. I sure would have liked to dance with you kids, you have a wonderful nature and your song is so happy. I didn't see the Icelandic flag, but it must have been somewhere in the back?
