Sommer in der Stadt [English translation]

The sun says good night to the city

The light bounces off the asphalt

Joe, the host, rinses the glasses out

Many people settle down here

But in this bar I don't grow old today

I go my way, lost inside my thoughts

I hear the band coming from Lilly's Disco

And at the pinball table, I actually win a game

But it's not what I seek or what I want

Summer in the city, waiting for the night

And I go there, where they all are

Where the jukebox takes away my boredom

Summer in the city, I'm so tired of it

Is she anywhere in this giant sea of houses,

The girl whose friend I'd like to be?

We look at each other for a second, through blue smoke

But it's sadly much too loud for us to talk

Your eyes say shyly, "What does he want from me?"

And so it appears that I'm not the first to try

Summer in the city, waiting for the night

And I go there, where they all are

Where the jukebox takes away my boredom

Summer in the city, I'm so tired of it

Is she anywhere in this giant sea of houses,

The girl whose friend I'd like to be?
