Wenn du schläfst [English translation]

The morning drifts by my window

Downstairs, the kiosk is already opening

And while you're sleeping here and breathing,

They're putting out the ashtrays

For three short hours and twelve minutes, your head has been resting here

On my comatose arm

The rest of me is wide awake,

Because I spent the whole night

Staring at you like a complete idiot

And when you're asleep, I have to look at you,

So that I don't miss the moment, when you open your eyes

Even though I'm tired as a dog, I can't leave it

Because I'm afraid that you'll leave at some point

Because I'm afraid that you'll leave at some point

Dedumdedumdumdumdedum,

dedumdedumdumdumdedum,

dedumdedumdumdumdedum.

Because I'm afraid that you'll leave at some point

I surrender the day to other people,

close all the shutters

And perhaps the night will last a little longer,

If I can be as quiet as you.

How can I make you stay in my life forever,

At least until the kiosk closes?

Am I so tired that my head is filled with nonsense,

or have I fallen in love?

And when you're asleep, I have to look at you,

So that I don't miss the moment, when you open your eyes

Even though I'm tired as a dog, I can't leave it

Because I'm afraid that you'll leave at some point

Because I'm afraid that you'll leave at some point

Dedumdedumdumdumdedum,

dedumdedumdumdumdedum,

dedumdedumdumdumdedum.

Because I'm afraid that you'll leave at some point

And when you're asleep, I have to look at you,

So that I don't miss the moment, when you open your eyes

Even though I'm tired as a dog, I can't leave it

Because I'm afraid that you'll leave at some point
