Sandmann [English translation]

Poor Germany

Can you see your children...

As they stand inline infront of the abyss?

Diseased Germany

Can you understand their fear...

When they go to sleep?

Le Le Lu,

Only the man in the moon is watching,

When the poor children sleep

Then you'll sleep too.

Le Le Lu,

And their little hearts freeze over,

When the other children ask:

"How much do you have?"

Sandman, Sandman,

Turn off the lights,

The truth is cruel,

So send me a dream.

Sandman, Sandman,

Come to my house,

Sprinkle sand into my eyes,

And never wake me again.

Poor Germany

Can you see your children...

As they slowly go to the dogs?

Rich Germany

When will your fun cease to be,

When will you understand?

Le Le Lu,

Only the man in the moon is watching,

When the poor children sleep,

Then you'll sleep too.

Le Le Lu,

And their little hearts freeze over,

When the other children ask:

"How much do you have?"

Sandman, Sandman,

Turn off the lights,

The truth is cruel,

So send me a dream.

Sandman, Sandman,

Come to my house,

Sprinkle sand in my eyes,

And never wake me again.

Dry bread makes cheeks red

The boy lives in great misery

He's already screamed his lungs sore

The hunger burns in the child's mouth.

Dry bread makes cheeks red

But everyone sits in their own boat

I'm showing you now what wealth is

In the country that forgets it's brood.

Sandman, Sandman,

Turn off the lights,

The truth is cruel,

So send me a dream.

Sandman, Sandman,

Come to my house,

Sprinkle sand in my eyes,

And never wake me again.
