Die Nacht [English translation]

When I cannot sleep at night

This only has to do with you -

You only come out at night

You flash about and play it up

Like thousands of old picture shows

Which protect me through my dreams

Your shadows are on the storefronts

And beat against it

Should the streets be swept clean

On which we once had danced and loved

The night belongs to us alone

The night belongs to us

Where it is, you will be

And where I am, you’re with me

And the streets are rolled up

And push us - to each other

The night belongs to us

I go to my best friend’s house

Wipe my eyes completely dry

And sleep upon her sofa

Then the sun shines through the window

And you have completely vanished

Not even a sensation

But from 12, you take me by the collar

And the beating rain

Should I sweep you from my dreams

And I’m afraid that’s nice

But that doesn’t help against it

The night belongs to us alone

The night belongs to us

Where it is, you will be

And where I am, you’re with me

And the streets are rolled up

And push us - to each other

The night belongs to us

The night belongs to us alone

The night belongs to us

Where it is, you will be

And where I am, you’re with me

And the streets are rolled up

And push us - to each other

The night belongs to us

The night belongs to us

And the streets are rolled up

And push us - to each other
