Can you hear the bombs, Osama?
I remember long ago
Another starry night like this
In the firelight, Osama
You were humming to yourself
And softly strumming your Qatar
I could hear the distant bombs
And sounds of Muslim calls were coming from afar

They were closer now, Osama
Every hour, every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid, Osama
We were young and full of life
And all of us prepared to die
And I'm not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Osama
They were shining there for you and me
For tyranny, Osama
Though we never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Osama
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Osama

Now we're cold and dead, Osama
Since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the bombs, Osama?
Do you still recall the fateful night
We crossed Afghanistan?
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight for Allah in this land

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Osama
They were shining there for you and me
For tyranny, Osama
Though we never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Osama

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Osama
They were shining there for you and me
For tyranny, Osama
Though we never thought that we could lose
And now you're DEAD
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Osama
Yes, if I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Osama

If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Osama
