Japan ist weit [English translation]

Clouds heavy like lead

Above houses, streets without destination through the labyrinth

Where shall I go

Where am I at home, the time of illusions is over

I close my eyes

What I miss is you, only you

But you live in another world

I'm waiting in the darkness

Every heartbeat is an s.o.s.

I'm calling you but japan is far

Oh, japan is far, so far away

At the other end of time

And what separates us

Is more than just one sea

Japan is far away, too far

But I want you here and now

Oh, I need you but japan is far

Japan is far away

Neonlight on naked skin

Silhouettes of foreign people who pass me by

Shall I cry out what I feel

Shall I send my dreams to exile to see them nevermore again

I close my eyes

What I miss is you, only you

I'm waiting in the darkness

Every heartbeat is an s.o.s.

I'm calling you but japan is far

Oh, japan is far, so far away

At the other end of time

And what separates us

Is more than just one sea

Japan is far away, too far

But I want you here and now

Oh, I need you but japan is far away
