Eule [English translation]

[Jan Delay:]

No one around, pitch black dark

For many a city that's where it shows its best side

A sea of lights sparkling beautifully

As only a little owl is still awake

She enjoys the streets being empty

So quiet and so calm

When all the assholes are asleep

That's when you can do whatever you want

Every night under the moonlight

For her it's showtime

For her it's showtime

That's when she steps out

For she doesn't like

The light of day

It's a well-known fact

That strength is born of calmness

And the energy of the night

Is the best fuel there is

By day life is dreary

But at night she's got the city all to herself

Just a few other odd birds are out

And they're enjoying wild times together

Every night under the moonlight

For her it's showtime

For her it's showtime

That's when she steps out

For she doesn't like

The light of day

Every night under the moonlight

For her it's showtime

For her it's showtime

That's when she steps out

For she doesn't like

The light of day

[Marteria:]

The night is turning her head

At night all the cages open up

Now and then she's going out

Now and then she flies headlong into a fist

Meets some of her mates, Ol' Dirty Buzzard, sparrows, pigeons

Watches Frankfurt Ultras with her large eagle eyes

By day the streets are tarred but at night they're feathered, too1

Damn, she's a predator

You see her by the harbor

Addicted to rabbits2

And when she rolls her cigarette3

It's a night between truth and lies

A night between good and bad4

She just wants to play

She has no piano but Red Bull gives you wings

[Jan Delay:]

More than ten million years ago

The very first owl declared

"You square peeps can have the days

But ours, ours is the night"

Every night under the moonlight

For her it's showtime

For her it's showtime

That's when she steps out

For she doesn't like

The light of day

Every night under the moonlight

For her it's showtime

For her it's showtime

That's when she steps out

For she doesn't like

The light of day

1. A wonderful pun that fortunately translates straight into English.2. Pun, can also mean "addicted to women".3. Or "her joint".4. Pun. "Wohl" ("good") and "Übel" ("bad") form the idiom "wohl oder übel" meaning "to have no other choice".
