Sandmann [English translation]

Poor Germany

Can you see your children

How they queue up in front of the abyss

Diseased Germany

Can you understand their fear

When they go to sleep

Le Le Lu

Only the man in the moon watches

When the poor children are sleeping

Therefore, you sleep too

Le Le Lu

And the small heart freezes up

When the other children ask:

How much do you have?

Sandman, Sandman

Turn off the lights

The truth is cruel

Therefore, give me a dream

Sandman, Sandman

Come to my home

Pull the wool over my eyes

And never wake me up again

Poor Germany

Can you see your children

How they slowly go to the dogs

Rich Germany

When will your fun pass off

When will you understand?

Le Le Lu

Only the man in the moon watches

When the poor children are sleeping

Therefore, you sleep too

Le Le Lu

And the small heart freezes up

When the other children ask:

How much do you have?

Sandman, Sandman

Turn off the lights

The truth is cruel

Therefore, give me a dream

Sandman, Sandman

Come to my home

Pull the wool over my eyes

And never wake me up again

Dry bread makes cheeks red

The boy lives in great need

He already shouted his lungs sore

The hunger burns in the child's mouth

Dry bread makes cheeks red

But everyone sits in his own boat

I'm now showing you what wealth is

In the country that forgets his brood

Sandman, Sandman

Turn off the lights

The truth is cruel

Therefore, give me a dream

Sandman, Sandman

Come to my home

Pull the wool over my eyes

And never wake me up again
