Nachtschicht [English translation]

Night shift, night shift,

Night shift, night shift,

A dark band of clouds covers the land

Lightening descends from the sky shortly before sundown

On the horizon, buildings of a distant city ¹

A tempest raises its voice and thunders through the night ²

Always then, when everyone goes to sleep

Always then, the world shines in the new light

Always then, on the horizon of the city

Always then, the day’s work of the night begins

Night shift, night shift

Life pulsates where it’s calm during the day ³

Fog goes round through the streets, light descends from street lights; anonymous and undetected, people move through the city; every dream, which remained unfulfilled, becomes the day’s work of the night.

Always then, when everyone goes to sleep

Always then, the world shines in the new light

Always then, on the horizon of the city

Always then, the day’s work of the night begins

Always then, every still so small light,

finds the courage to rise up,

showing its brilliance at night

when the day is over

Night shift

Always then, when everyone goes to sleep

Always then, the world shines in the new light

Always then, on the horizon of the city

Always then, the day’s work of the night begins

Night shift, night shift
