Ich baute dir Amerika [English translation]

You were lost

Everything sunken, everything broken, everything experienced

You say, boy, look around you, look where you sleep

Look where you sleep

I built America for you

You drink wine

Much too old, much to late to go back

In the house that's much too large, and you're silent

The two of you, the two of you

But without her you can't go to sleep

You don't say anything, agree with me

And I sleep beside you, but we're both alone

Yeah, I sleep beside you, without you I am alone

You drink too much

I always resurface and then dive back down

At least for a moment after

I have to go now, or else I'll miss something

And sit at home

You are a slave to your security

And I am one to your freedom

Yeah, maybe and yeah, could be, and yeah, I know

Yeah, you built America for me

And I sleep beside you, but we're both alone

Yeah, I sleep beside you, without you I am alone

And I sleep beside you, but we're both alone

Yeah, I sleep beside you, without you I am alone, I am alone

I built America for you, yeah

And I sleep beside you, but we're both alone

Yeah, I sleep beside you, without you I am alone

And I sleep beside you, but we're both alone

Yeah, I sleep beside you, without you I am alone, I am alone

We built America for us
