The capital of the federal state
Schleswig-Holstein, that is Kiel
Of Lower Saxony, it’s Hanover
With this song, you learn so much
Do you know Hamburg, Berlin, and Bremen
They are city and federal state
and for this reason, they are called
all city-states
Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania has a capital
which is called Schwerin
In Brandenburg, it is Potsdam
everyone wants to go there once
In Saxony, it is Dresden
in Saxony-Anhalt, Magdeburg
In the east, there is still Thuringia
and, yes, the capital is called Erfurt

Germany has 16 federal states
Germany has 16 federal states
here you learn every federal state
with its state capital
Germany has 16 federal states
Germany has 16 federal states
three are city-states and 13 are area states
A cheer for the one who has such knowledge

North Rhine-Westphalia lies in the west
with the capital Düsseldorf
Hesse lies very close by
and Wiesbaden is there
A bit south is Rhineland-Palatinate
with the state capital Mainz
Tell me: Where do you live
Which federal state is yours
The Saarland also has a capital
yes, Saarbrücken is meant
Baden-Württemberg with Stuttgart
is not far from there
Very, very deep in the south
there lies Bavaria, huge
In the state capital Munich
there is always a lot going on

Germany has 16 federal states
Germany has 16 federal states
here you learn every federal state
with its state capital
Germany has 16 federal states
Germany has 16 federal states
three are city-states and 13 are area states
A cheer for the one who has such knowledge
