Die Stühle liegen sehr eng
The chairs lie so close,
Wir reden die ganze Nacht lang
We talk all night long,
Dieser niedrige Raum ist nicht schlecht
This lower room isn't bad *
Wir können uns gut verstehen
We understand each other well,
So ist es immer, unser Licht ist nur das
Just like it always is, this is just our light,
Trinken und singen wir, begrüßen morgen
We drink and sing, we welcome tomorrow
So ist es immer, unter'm riesigen Himmel
Just like it always is, under the enormous sky,
Leben wir zusammen, die Nacht ist lang
We live together, the night is long,
Da die Sterne nicht leuchten
The stars don't shine,
Kann der Mond auf diese Stadt nicht scheinen
You can't see the moon in this city,
Schauten wir das Licht selbst an
We looked at the light itself,
Singen wir unter dem Sternenmeer
Singing under the stary ssea
Chairs so close and room so small
Chairs so close and room so small
You and I talk all the night long
You and I talk all the night long
Meagre this space but serves us so well
Meagre this space but serves us so well
We comrades have stories to tell
We comrades have stories to tell
And it's always like that in the evening time
And it's always like that in the evening time
We drink and we sing when our fighting is done
We drink and we sing when our fighting is done
And it's always so we live under the burnt clouds
And it's always so we live under the burnt clouds
Ease our burden, long is the night
Ease our burden, long is the night
Just as no stars can be seen
Just as no stars can be seen
We are stars and we'll beam on our town
We are stars and we'll beam on our town
We must all gather as one
We must all gather as one
Sing with hope and the fear will be gone
Sing with hope and the fear will be gone
Die Stühle liegen sehr eng

You and I talk all the night long
You and I talk all the night long,
Dieser niedrige Raum ist nicht schlecht

We comrades have stories to tell
We comrades have stories to tell,
So ist es immer, denn immer im Ertrag
Just like it always is, always profiting **
We drink and we sing when our fighting is done
We drink and we sing when our fighting is done,
So ist es immer, we live under the burnt clouds
Just like it always is, we live under the burnt clouds,
Ease our burden, long is the night
Ease our burden, long is the night,
Da die Sterne nicht leuchten

We are stars and we'll beam on our town
