Die Nacht war kurz [ich stehe früh auf] [English translation]

The night was short and I get up early

That's how it's been for years, that's how it goes

I write you a poem, lay a flower underneath

Can there be anything more beautiful?

When you wake up I am long gone

I've begun to stop starting

The sun is shining and has been for hours

Shoes on, it's important to explore [the] world

The night was short and I get up early

The night was short and I get up early

The night was short and I get up early

The night was short and I get up early

We've freed ourselves of the day's work

Through orchestral manoeuvres in the darkness

For these moments I'll put up with anything

The night was short and I get up early

The night was short and I get up early

The night was short and I get up early

The night was short and I get up early

The night was short and I get up early

The night was short and I get up early

And the sun runs its course

The night was short and I get up early

The night was short and I get up early

The night was short and I get up early

The night was short and I get up early

The night was short and I get up early

The night was short and I get up early

The night was short and I get up early

And the sun runs its course

The night was short and I get up early

The night was short and I get up early
