Munich ( /ˈmjuːnɪk/; (German: München, pronounced [ˈmʏnçən] ( listen), Bavarian: Minga) is the capital and the largest city of the German state of Bavaria. It is located on the River Isar north of the Bavarian Alps. Munich is the third largest city in Germany, behind Berlin and Hamburg. About 1.42 million people live within the city limits. Munich hosted the 1972 Summer Olympics.
The city's motto is "München mag Dich" (Munich likes you). Before 2006, it was "Weltstadt mit Herz" (Cosmopolitan city with a heart). Its native name, München, is derived from the Old High German Munichen, meaning "by the monks' place". The city's name derives from the monks of the Benedictine order who founded the city; hence the monk depicted on the city's coat of arms. Black and gold—the colours of the Holy Roman Empire—have been the city's official colours since the time of Ludwig the Bavarian.
Modern Munich is a financial and publishing hub, and a frequently top-ranked destination for migration and expatriate location in livability rankings. Munich achieved 4th place in frequently quoted Mercer livability rankings in 2011. For economic and social innovation, the city was ranked 15th globally out of 289 cities in 2010, and 5th in Germany by the 2thinknow Innovation Cities Index based on analysis of 162 indicators. In 2010, Monocle ranked Munich as the world's most livable city.
The Munich massacre is an informal name for events that occurred during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Bavaria in southern West Germany, when members of the Israeli Olympic team were taken hostage and eventually killed by the Palestinian group Black September. Shortly after the crisis began, the Palestinians demanded the release of 234 prisoners held in Israeli jails. Black September called the operation "Ikrit and Biram", after two Christian Palestinian villages whose inhabitants were expelled by the Haganah in 1948.
By the end of the ordeals, the kidnappers had killed eleven Israeli athletes and coaches and a West German police officer. Five of the eight members of Black September were killed by police officers during a failed rescue attempt. The three surviving assassins were captured, but later released by West Germany following the hijacking by Black September of a Lufthansa airliner. Israel responded to the killings with Operation Spring of Youth and Operation Wrath of God, during which Palestinians suspected of involvement in the massacre were systematically tracked down and killed by Israeli intelligence and special forces. The Israeli operations cost the lives of one innocent in Norway (Lillehammer affair) and of four passersby in Lebanon during the killing of Ali Hassan Salameh.

Take you know
And you let it go
Inside the snow
Begins to fall
Step to the edge
You and I
And we fall below
Take a breath
Hold my hand
And now you're not alone
Calling now
It terrifies me
And I don't know why
There you go
You're paralyzing me
And I don't know why
Everything
Is black and white and green
The walls are shaking
When you're touching me
Change is everything
When you're close to me
Back to back
Hand to hand
Face to face again
Lover and
Enemies
Then we're back to friends
Something left
Holding us
Pulls me closer in
Take a breath
And the color will return again
Calling now
It terrifies me
And I don't know why
There you go
You're paralyzing me
And I don't know why
Everything
Is black and white and green
The walls are shaking
When you're touching me
Change is everything
Change is everything
The walls are shaking
Change is everything
When you're close to me

He'll speak when he's spoken to
You're better off you said if we would stay apart
The letters that we sent, they don't reflect our hearts
So when I'm in town, I'll try to stay away
You're beautiful girl, it's all I have to say
So I tonight will try to stay away
So hard tonight, to let you get away
You're trying to set me up to be a broken man
I know you are the kind that likes the upper hand
So when I'm in town, I'll try to look away
You're evil you know, I wish you weren't that way
So I tonight will try to stay away
So hard tonight, to let you get away
[x2]
Oh yes I'll be around, you'll see me one day
The further we are, the better off we'll say
It's cancer to our bones, to live like they say
I'm so glad I've found this
I'm so glad I did
I'm so glad I've found this
I'm so glad I did

Qué más da
Todo lo que venga después.
Qué más da
Que mi vida esté del revés
Ahora me parece un instante,
Nada será ya como antes.
Medianoche entre las sombras
De una ciudad sin luz,
Desafiando al frío del invierno,
Jugando a cara o cruz.
Hoy brindamos por los buenos tiempos,
Abrazados, en silencio
Mientras el cielo se tiñe de azul.
Los sonidos del recuerdo
Me invitan a sentir,
Suenan dentro de altavoces viejos,
Quién se va a resistir.
Chicas que hablan con acento extraño
Venden sueños en el baño
Mientras yo escapo sonriendo de allí.
Qué más da
Todo lo que venga después.
Qué más da
Que mi vida esté del revés.
Ahora me parece un instante,
Nada será ya como antes.
Mantener el equilibrio
No se me da tan mal.
Escondido tras mis gafas negras
No me verás llorar.
Persiguiendo estrellas por el suelo
Que luego enredo entre tu pelo.
No diré adiós cuando llegue el final.
Qué más da
Todo lo que venga después.
Qué más da
Que mi vida esté del revés.
Ahora me parece un instante,
Nada será ya como antes.
Qué más da...
Qué más da...
Qué más da...
