The city is of stone But built with the love of the land around it, She reflects feeling She colors your thoughts Gives words a reason And your actions an aim [Refrain:] (Because) this is my life This is my city Here I feel safe Here lies my heart The streets and the squares I know them all This is my story Please let me go I watch over borders that have long ceased to exist I feel here at home Because you taste here the freedom I am a man of the world But here stands my home [Refrain:] (Because) this is my life This is my city Here I feel safe Here lies my heart The streets and the squares I know them all This is my story This is my life This is my city Here I feel safe Here lies my heart The streets and the squares I know them all This is my story Never again will I want something other My heart lies here forever She understands me if I say It is the place that I dream about Where I pray and work and live I simply do not wish to go away from here again This is my life This is my city Here I feel safe Here lies my heart The streets and the squares I know them all This is my story And it was given to me As a day in the sun Here lies my past Where I once began Here you can be old and young Because she speaks the same language This is my story This is my story
