Tausend Fenster [English translation]

The town is already dressed for the night

It's a sea of light in the darkness

A great loneliness invades every house around that time of the day

It feels like we're living on small islands

You don't even know who's living next to you

All of you don't know each other

In that very world of noise and light

Thousands of windows in this town are brightly lit

And you keep asking yourself: "Who's behind them?"

Thousands of windows tell you quietly: "Someone's still living here"

"Someone just like you, just as lonely and alone"

Couldn't that person over there be the one

You've been dreaming of for years?

The one who might be your home?

But there's a sea of houses between you and him

Tomorrow, your heart will still be just as empty

You'll still be eagerly hoping

Not to be so alone

In this grey world made of steel and stones

Thousands of windows in this town are brightly lit

And you keep asking yourself: "Who's behind them?"

Thousands of windows tell you quietly: "Someone's still living here"

"Someone just like you, just as lonely and alone"
