XiR - Angela Merkel

·168 words

Turkish MC XiR has a new trap song out with the noteworthy title Angela Merkel. There is even somebody with a Merkel mask in the video.

The video has a quick and dirty German subtitle bundled with it which you can turn on and read.

In the spirit of international relations, I will translate to English the hook of the song (lyrics on Genius). The rest of the song is either not that interesting or I’m missing out on a lot of inside baseball. Either way, I won’t try it.

Angela Merkel Schengen yok Karaköy’e sen gel

Bozulur dengen Yol aldı yengen Karaköy’e sen gel Angela Merkel

Angela Merkel There is no Schengen You come down to Karaköy

You’ll lose your senses Your woman’s gone 1 You come down to Karaköy Angela Merkel

I can’t make much more of it other than that the mythologization of Angela Merkel continues. I’m curious what the German foreign office thinks about that.


  1. The German translation says: “Deine Freundin hat dich verlassen”. ↩︎
