Ich lass für dich das Licht an [English translation]

When we walk home at night,

Lips blue from red wine,

And we share my big jacket

Until the corner up ahead.

The sky is already getting dawn-red

But you don't want to sleep yet,

I get the old wheels for us

And we drive to the harbor.

I leave the light on for you

Even though it's too bright for me.

With you, I listen to records

That I don't like.

I'm quiet for you

When you're too loud.

I run to the kiosk for you

Night or day.

I leave the light on for you

Even though it's too bright for me.

I watch bands

That I don't like.

I go with you to the

Worst tearjerkers.

I don't mind,

The main thing is that you're there.

I'd burn my favorite records

For you immediately,

And if it's important to you

I'd hitchhike all the way to Barcelona.

The morning air is far too cold

And I'm slowly getting hoarser.

I see only you in tunnel-vision

And the city slowly gets quieter.

I leave the light on for you

Even though it's too bright for me.

With you, I listen to records

That I don't like.

I'm quiet for you

When you're too loud.

I run to the kiosk for you

Night or day.

I leave the light on for you

Even though it's too bright for me.

I watch bands

That I don't like.

I go with you to the

Worst tearjerkers.

I don't mind,

The main thing is that you're there.

I leave the light on for you

Even though it's too bright for me.

With you, I listen to records

That I don't like.

I'm quiet for you

When you're too loud.

I run to the kiosk for you

Night or day.

I leave the light on for you

Even though it's too bright for me.

That I don't like.

The main thing is that you're there.

When we walk home at night,

Lips blue from red wine,

And we share my big jacket

Until the corner up ahead.
