Was machst du wenn die Stadt schläft? [English translation]

I see the way you sit there

here on the hard floor

on everything you've got

I see it in your look

Somehow you got stranded

and you don't find your way back

you don't find your way back

What do you do when the city sleeps

The world passes you by

with infinitely fast steps

Somehow you can't catch up

Since a fairly long time

you just aren't visible anymore

and you don't know who you are anymore

What do you do when the city sleeps

What do you do when the city sleeps

When everything stands still

When the last light goes out

Who asks you how you are

and how you're doing

And who asks you where you are

What do you do when the city sleeps

You sit on your place

He somehow found you and everything happened so fast

The few things you have

are still from your old life

that today you can't manage anymore

that you almost forgot

The house I live in is my home

My lifeboat, the harbor, that I need

I turn out the light and the lamps

And think of you - send thoughts out
