| Wir stiegen auf die Türme
| We climbed the towers
|
| Schauten weit und blieben wach
| Looked far and stayed awake
|
| War so als gäb's kein Gestern mehr
| It was like there was no yesterday
|
| Wir spuckten runter ins lichte Meer
| We spat down into the clear sea
|
| «Vergiss, vergiss», hast du gesagt
| "Forget, forget," you said
|
| «Bleib mit mir hier bis zum Tag»
| "Stay here with me until day"
|
| Und kurz war alles so brilliant — alles war brilliant
| And briefly everything was so brilliant - everything was brilliant
|
| Weil wir raus fahren
| Because we're going out
|
| Weg vom Beton
| Away from the concrete
|
| Wie Vögel
| like birds
|
| Weg vom Beton
| Away from the concrete
|
| Da oben war der Schrott wie Gold — all der Schrott war Gold
| Up there the junk was like gold—all the junk was gold
|
| Und wir kratzten
| And we scratched
|
| Am Horizont
| At the horizon
|
| Unser Dunkel
| Our darkness
|
| Wurde orange
| Turned orange
|
| Und alles war brilliant
| And everything was brilliant
|
| Und alles war brilliant
| And everything was brilliant
|
| Da war alles brilliant
| Everything was brilliant there
|
| Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
| Yeah yeah yeah
|
| Und alles war brilliant
| And everything was brilliant
|
| Und alles war brilliant
| And everything was brilliant
|
| Da war alles brilliant
| Everything was brilliant there
|
| «Lös dich los», hast du gesagt
| "Get rid of yourself," you said
|
| Die Stadt ist weit unten und so egal
| The city is far below and it doesn't matter
|
| Ich war sieben Stunden ohne Angst
| I was fearless for seven hours
|
| Es war still und kalt und der Rauch hat getanzt
| It was quiet and cold and the smoke danced
|
| Und kurz war alles so brilliant — alles war brilliant
| And briefly everything was so brilliant - everything was brilliant
|
| Weil wir raus fahren
| Because we're going out
|
| Weg vom Beton
| Away from the concrete
|
| Wie Vögel
| like birds
|
| Weg vom Beton
| Away from the concrete
|
| Da oben war der Schrott wie Gold — all der Schrott war Gold
| Up there the junk was like gold—all the junk was gold
|
| Und wir kratzten
| And we scratched
|
| Am Horizont
| At the horizon
|
| Unser Dunkel
| Our darkness
|
| Wurde orange
| Turned orange
|
| Und alles war brilliant
| And everything was brilliant
|
| Und alles war brilliant
| And everything was brilliant
|
| Da war alles brilliant
| Everything was brilliant there
|
| Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
| Yeah yeah yeah
|
| Und alles war brilliant
| And everything was brilliant
|
| Und alles war brilliant
| And everything was brilliant
|
| Da war alles brilliant
| Everything was brilliant there
|
| Ich war so verloren, hab dich im Menschenmeer gefunden
| I was so lost, found you in the sea of people
|
| Deine Blicke heilen in Sekunden alle Wunden
| Your looks heal all wounds in seconds
|
| (Deine Blicke heilen in Sekunden alle Wunden)
| (Your looks heal all wounds in seconds)
|
| Und kurz war alles so brilliant — alles war brilliant
| And briefly everything was so brilliant - everything was brilliant
|
| Wir war’n pleite — na und, na und
| We were broke — so what, so what
|
| Wir Looser — na und, na und
| We losers — so what, so what
|
| Da oben war der Schrott wie Gold — all der Schrott war Gold
| Up there the junk was like gold—all the junk was gold
|
| Und wir kratzten
| And we scratched
|
| Am Horizont
| At the horizon
|
| Unser Dunkel
| Our darkness
|
| Wurde orange
| Turned orange
|
| Und alles war brilliant
| And everything was brilliant
|
| Und alles war brilliant
| And everything was brilliant
|
| Da war alles brilliant
| Everything was brilliant there
|
| Alles orange
| Everything orange
|
| Und alles war brilliant
| And everything was brilliant
|
| Und alles war brilliant
| And everything was brilliant
|
| Da war alles brilliant
| Everything was brilliant there
