Translation of the song Das Signal artist Vera Jahnke

Emanzipiert war das Signal,

Freed itself a signal light,

bestand auf seiner freien Wahl.

Standing on its free will right.

Nur war das leider nicht sehr klug,

But it was not too clever a thing,

denn fortan raste Zug in Zug.

As the trains were one another racing.

Ja, wer die Wahl hat, hat die Qual!

Yeah, who has the choice, has the headache!
