Berlin [English translation]

Yes the night is black

Yes the ground is cold

But we freeze together

Two skeletons rattling to the same beat

You stand outside

I stand outside

From out of the disappointment, the shame

came slowly a feeling of power

They whisper: 'You are timeless' but they mean outdated

An insult that becomes the ultimate compliment

You said you wanted to have stolen black roses beside your grave

A Fleur-de-lis in gold on black by your name

You are life

You are the long miles to Berlin

You are life

You are the long miles to Berlin

They can become something big

They can get the job done

Their task this year

Is to not give a shit about everything we said

We give up at last

We abdicate now

And the decomposition

Begins precisely when we turn 37

Darling I have never been able to teach you anything

At best then I can contribute with a feeling

You smell faintly of wet white roses, old earth

A Fleur-de-lis in gold on black by your name...

You are life

You are the long miles to Berlin

You are life

You are a fight in the car to Paris

You are life

You are the long miles to Berlin

In my life

You were a fight in the car from Paris

You are life

You are the long miles to Berlin
