Tänzer und Soldaten [English translation]

You want to change something

But you think that you are alone in that

You know the formula

But you can't think of the right words

Out there are millions who share this with you

If we stand together we can shout it out to the world

It doesn't need much and we are rich nevertheless

Because this one love is everything that will remain for us in the end

We are more dancers than soldiers in this world

And we dance because it keeps us alive

We are more dancers than soldiers in this night

And we dance and we dance through the city

Come and dance with me through the night

Their canons, we put flowers in every gun barrel

We put sunglasses on the monument of the hero

We sing their shibboleths to the ground

And we tear down all the walls in the heads

It doesn't need much and we are rich nevertheless

Because this one love is everything that will remain for us in the end

We are more dancers than soldiers in this world

And we dance because it keeps us alive

We are more dancers than soldiers in this night

And we dance and we dance through the city

Come and dance with me through the night

One day they ought to say about us

We have been more dancers than soldiers

One day they ought to write about us

We danced to stay alive

We are more dancers than soldiers in this world

And we dance because it keeps us alive

We are more dancers than soldiers in this night

And we dance and we dance through the city

Come and dance with me through the night
