Hinter der Elbe New York deutsche Übersetzung
von Revolverheld

There's something going on at every corner, people are lining up in front of the clubs
They stand to death only for some bad air
Soon is curfew again and the ones go home,
While the others still remove the leftovers from the streets

With some lonely souls, I still fly around
And my edgy heart has been sore for a long time
I actually used to love the witching hours with you
But only with me by myself, all the streets and faces
Seem like an empty piece of paper

We both used to be a metropolis
And now we're only a village
Our love only reaches beyond the Elbe
And used to be as great as New York
Used to be the city, that never sleeps
With it's thousands of lights
Huge but never alone
We both used to be a metropolis
And now we're only a village


The tourists invade like the insects in summer
I drive to the sea
Where we used to hide
Our favorite bar is full, the happy hour unbearable
I don't know where to go with me... I don't know where to go with me...
I don't know where to go with me... I don't know where to go with me...

We both used to be a metropolis
And now we're only a village
Our love only reaches beyond the Elbe
And used to be as great as New York
Used to be the city, that never sleeps
With it's thousands of lights
Huge but never alone

With it's great history, that describes the people
With the jetsam of the soul, floating in the water
With the child, that doesn't sleep, and the father, that drinks
But only when the evening brings the darkness
With the cabs of hope, driving to the airport
Where people forget to pay their bills
The air is stuffy and thick, but I breathe in
Can I free a part of my soul like this


We both used to be a metropolis
And now we're only a village
Used to be the city, that never sleeps
With it's thousands of lights
Huge but never alone
We both used to be a metropolis
And now we're only a village
