Bordsteinkantenleben [English translation]

[Verse 1]

We sit outside, stars above, we're tired from arguing

It's nighttime, but warm and we listen to the concert from far away

And you fall exhausted onto me

And I fall exhausted onto you

[Chorus]

Instead of in the middle, we sit beside

In our life on the kerbside

At least we can see the stars from out here

And listen to the murmur of the night in the distance

[Verse 2]

You're eating Lángos. I steal your cheese

People are dreaming in the tram

The plains lie on the left in the clouds

And we've driven the wrong way again

[Chorus]

Instead of in the middle, we sit beside

In our life on the kerbside

At least we can see the stars from out here

And listen to the murmur of the night in the distance

[Bridge]

And we walk around in silence at the funfair

And you don't say anything, and it's hard not to cry

[Chorus]

Instead of in the middle, we sit beside

In our life on the kerbside

At least we can see the stars from out here

And listen to the murmur of the night in the distance

[Outro]

I need you, but tonight even more so

This city is freedom, and I love you very much

I need you, but tonight even more so

This state is a new beginning1 and I love you very much

1. I feel like this captures Aufbruch (departure) in a way that makes sense
