Es fährt ein Zug nach Nirgendwo [English translation]

(There is a train heading to nowhere)

(There is a train heading to nowhere)

There is a train heading to nowhere

With me as its only passenger.

With every hour that goes by

It is taking me further away from you.

There is a train heading to nowhere

That was not there yesterday.

I thought you believed in me

And that I would have you forever.

There is a train heading to nowhere

And nobody turns the light from green to red.

Do you really not care

That our happiness suddenly falls apart?

There is a train heading to nowhere

Soon you will be alone just like me.

But say a word, say just a word

And everything will be the way it was

Oh Maria, I love you

I love you, please believe me

Whatever I had with the other (woman)

It's over, I swear it to you.

Oh Maria, you let me go

But there's a tear in your eye

I've seen a tear

Does it want to tell me: Come back?

(There is a train heading to nowhere)

(There is a train heading to nowhere)

Time flies, the hours pass by

Soon a new day will rise.

It's not too late yet

But if the door shuts, then what?

There is a train heading to nowhere

That was not there yesterday.

I thought you believed in me

And that I would have you forever.

There is a train heading to nowhere

And nobody turns the light from green to red.

Do you really not care

That our happiness suddenly falls apart?

There is a train heading to nowhere

Soon you will be alone just like me.

But say a word, say just a word

And everything will be the way it was

Oh Maria, I love you

I love you, please believe me

Whatever I had with the other (woman)

It's over, I swear it to you.

Oh Maria, you let me go

But there's a tear in your eye

I've seen a tear.

Does it want to tell me: Come back?

Oh Maria, you let me go

But there's a tear in your eye

I've seen a tear.

Do you want to tell me: Come back?

(There is a train heading to nowhere)

Oh Maria, I love you

(There is a train heading to nowhere)

(There is a train heading to nowhere)

Oh Maria

(There is a train heading to nowhere)

(There is a train heading to nowhere)

(There is a train heading to nowhere)
