Petrol [English translation]

Before you came along everywhere was in darkness

The world was desolate and still, I don't know why

I searched everywhere for a sweet light,

For a fire to warm my heart

When you came along it was as if a new sun rose

My day and night alight, life is sweet now

Everything suddenly changed

Who knew life was so difficult without you?

Oh petroleum, my dear petroleum

I am dependent on you now petroleum

My beginning petroleum, my end petroleum

You hold the reins now petroleum

So proud, I cannot go near you

Who knows how many lovers have you seduced

You speak of nothing but Dollars and Marks

How I am suffering because of you

Many a wealthy temptress pursue your love

All dreams aside you cannot be my lover

Perhaps one day you'll leave for good

Here I cry for that day already
