Nachts, wenn es warm ist [English translation]

At night, when it is warm, standing besides the trains

Which drive further than my dream may ever go

To see at the sings that the world is still there

I could go there anytime, it's all still there

What my inner eye has so long already preserved

As peak or aim of many a drive

And the people on the railway station search for a word

Between Now you are here, but soon you'll be gone

And the wish that this journey may be good for you

But I stay here and I stay alone

But they don't find the word, search in vain for the word

For the meaning of this moment, this goodbye, this place

This life, and they wave ...

Because now the train go and noise it makes

Tears a hole into the world, into the silence of the night

But tomorrow in Rome or Sunday in Athens the sky is high

And one cannot understand

That in Cologne or Berlin or some other place

Someone stood and suffered innerly, just because a word

Some word between Everyone and Not much remains actually

And the train stood so cold with the hood towards the aim

Out into the world I need just one step

And if not the train, then I take you with me

This world is still there, no need to hurry

We are still alive, we are not yet dead

At night, when it is warm, standing besides the trains

Which drive further than my dream may ever go

It feels good to me, I silently come home again

And you already sleep, you know I always come back

I always come back, I always come back
