I Don't Go To U.S.A.

Besetzung

Nach dem großen Erfolg von "Keine Sterne in Athen" ließ es Remmler sich nicht nehmen, wie schon zu Trio-Zeiten, das Lied kongenial auf englisch zu übersetzen. Heraus kam ein völlig neuer und (meiner Meinung nach) viel besserer Text. Unschlagbar bleibt die Zeile "I'm happy here in Sankt Kathrein, give me my Schnaps and I feel fine". In der Maxi-Version ist noch ein Teil der deutschen Produktion zu hören, die bei der Original-Version von "Keine Sterne in Athen" der Schere zum Opfer fiel.

Text

Musik und Text: Stephan Remmler

Ach everybody on vacation
everybody everywhere
my girl-friend Gretel left the nation
I guess right now she's in the air

She said she wants to go to Dallas
Honolulu and L.A.
so we both went to the airport
but I didn't go away

'Cause I don't go to U.S.A.
on my mountain I will stay
I don't care what people say
I don't go to U.S.A.

He won't go to U.S.A.
on his mountain he will stay
he doesn't care what people say
he won't go to U.S.A.

Maybe she's in Chattanooga
maybe she's in New Orleans
acting as if she was born there
running round in her blue jeans

Too many cars too many people
this is not the plane for me
I want my sundown on a mountain
and after that I watch TV

I'm happy here in Sankt Kathrein
give me my Schnaps and I feel fine
I don't mind to be alone
but I want to be at home
