about

Liner note by Jimmy Trash:

Teutoburger, an intimate song expressing Tomi's internal split between leaving Indonesia as a child and arriving in Germany, uses English and German language and 5:4 polyrhythm throughout the song to solidify the awkwardness of his out-ofstep realities to the listener. The scale used is based on maqam Husseini.

lyrics

Teuto Burger - Words & Music by Tomi Simatupang

I'm burning this bridge
Unlearning language
German is the germ
Damage is long-term
Herman the German
Sent the Romes home Rome
And kicked their asses
Right there bei Teutoburgerwald

Helpup is a Dorf
Ich komm aus Detmold
Riding with Huxoll
In his VW Golf
1991
Auf die Fresse haun
Spring über'n Jägerzaun in die
Fußängerzone

This Bridge burns so well
English is so swell
Like Tongues of fire
An meinen Eiern
A wall has come down
Nicht Dein Jägerzaun
Ich will Dir nix klaun aus Deinem
Einfamilienhaus

I've learned this language
It's quite a bitch I'm
getting sandwiched I'm
getting smothered Motherfucker
what am I supposed to do
between your Jägerzaun
und dem Teutoburgerwald
