Yes. During the live concerts in promotion of their 2022 album Rock Believer, the band performed the song with slightly revised lyrics, as the lines:
I follow the Moskva
And down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
Were replaced with:
Now listen to my heart
It says Ukrainia
Waiting for the wind to change
During a May 2022 interview with the Ukrainian portal TCH, lead singer Klaus Meine confirmed that this decision was taken in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, while also revealing that he had grown disillusioned with the song’s original message throughout the years:
Since the release of the album in February, we were preparing a new show, a new set. […] I thought, “This is not the time to romanticize Russia”. […] And I wanted to make a statement that we support the Ukraine in this very difficult situation.
When I wrote [“Wind Of Change”], it was about the time when the Scorpions went for the first time to the Soviet Union, back in ’88, when we played 10 shows in Leningrad after all those years living in the shadow of the Berlin Wall, living with the Iron Curtain, to see how we have the chance with music to build bridges and really come together. So, it was so very inspired by this moment of hope, hoping for a more peaceful world and just joining together into a peaceful future. And so, that was the expression. And so many years later now, I think the song has lost the meaning of being a peace anthem, being a song of hope. But I had to change those lyrics, like I said.
Wind of change
Ветер перемен
I follow the Moscva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An august summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change
The world is closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so closed like brothers
The future’s in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow
Dream away in the wind of change
Walking down the street
Distant memories
Are buried in the past forewer
I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow
Share their dreams with you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow
Dream away in the wind of change
The wind of change blows straight to the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring
A freedom bell for peace of mind
Let your balalaika say
What my guitar want to sing
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow
Share their dreams with you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow
Dream away in the wind of change
Я иду по Москве
К Парку Горького,
Слушая ветер перемен.
Летняя августовская ночь.
Солдаты проходят мимо,
Слушая ветер перемен.
Мир окружает со всех сторон,
Думал ли ты когда-нибудь,
Что мы могли бы быть близки, как братья?
Будущее в воздухе,
Я чувствую его повсюду.
Оно дует ветром перемен.
Перенеси меня в волшебный миг
Великолепной ночи,
Где дети завтрашнего дня
Видят сны в ветре перемен.
Иду по улице…
Давние воспоминания
Похоронены в прошлом навсегда.
Я иду по Москве
К Парку Горького,
Слушая ветер перемен.
Перенеси меня в волшебный миг
Великолепной ночи,
Где дети завтрашнего дня
Делятся своими снами с тобой и со мной.
Перенеси меня в волшебный миг
Великолепной ночи,
Где дети завтрашнего дня
Видят сны в ветре перемен.
Ветер перемен дует прямо в лицо времени,
Как штормовой ветер, который зазвонит
В колокол свободы ради спокойствия духа.
Пусть твоя балалайка скажет о том,
О чем моя гитара хочет спеть.
Перенеси меня в волшебный миг
Великолепной ночи,
Где дети завтрашнего дня
Делятся своими снами с тобой и со мной.
Перенеси меня в волшебный миг
Великолепной ночи,
Где дети завтрашнего дня
Видят сны в ветре перемен.

folow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change
The world is closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close, like brothers
The future’s in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change
Walking down the street
Distant memories
Are buried in the past forever
I folow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change
The wind of change
Blows straight into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring the freedom bell
For peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change
Lyrics
I follow the Moskva down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night, soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change
The world is closing in, and did you ever think
That we could be so close like brothers?
The future’s in the air, I can feel it everywhere
I’m blowing with the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change
Mm-mm
Walking down the street
And distant memories are buried in the past forever
I follow the Moskva and down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
Take me (take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (a glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (share their dreams)
With you and me (with you and me)
Take me (take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (a glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change (the wind of change)
The wind of change blows straight into the face of time
Like a storm wind that will ring the freedom bell for peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing what my guitar wants to say (say)
Take me (take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (a glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (share their dreams)
With you and me (you and me)
Take me (take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (a glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change (the wind of change)
