When the sun sets in the evening
Forget the work, life begins
For what we love, we've bent over backwards
We let ourselves fall, headfirst into the night

You've captured me and that mercilessly
I can't escape from your claws
I take a deep breath and think "whatever"
Your heart is made of gold, your soul of steel

You are the Ruhr area
The drug that makes me addicted
I never thought that
Can't get away from you anymore

You are the Ruhr area
The drug that keeps me upright
Where only friendship counts
You are the Ruhr area
And I am the Ruhr area

Between Rhine and Weser, the heart of the world
Here you are not a number, no one looks at your money
A green oasis between coal and steel
When we celebrate together, we don't care about anything

You've captured me and that mercilessly
I can't escape from your claws
I take a deep breath and think "whatever"
Your heart is made of gold, your soul of steel

You are the Ruhr area
The drug that makes me addicted
I never thought that
Can't get away from you anymore

You are the Ruhr area
The drug that keeps me upright
Where only friendship counts
You are the Ruhr area
And I am the Ruhr area

Here you can live with football and beer
You're never alone with us here in the district
We go through thick and thin together
This is my home, this is where I belong

You are the Ruhr area
The drug that makes me addicted
I never thought that
Can't get away from you anymore

You are the Ruhr area
The drug that keeps me upright
Where only friendship counts
You are the Ruhr area

We are the Ruhr area
The drug that makes me addicted
I never thought that
Can't get away from you anymore

We are the Ruhr area
The drug that keeps me upright
Where only friendship counts
You are the Ruhr area
And I am the Ruhr area
