Siehst du die Sonne [nicht] [English translation]

I see streets on fire

Smoke clouding the skies

Rats in dirty alleys

And people guided by poverty

I see falling trees

Houses without doors or roofs

Ruins, bombed out rooms

A city shattered by violence

Furious people

Ghetto kids resisting

And weeping women

Sorrow seared on faces

They scream for justice

All alone, only black earth

Everywhere

I see little hands

Shivering and homeless

Spraying at bare walls

Letters bright and huge

And they dream of a place

Where miracles still exist

The birds, they flee

Into a flourishing country

See how they move

Spreading large wings

I see fear in their eyes

And feet covered in ashes and dust

Legs without faith

Feel deprived of the way

But tearful they go on

Slowly straight ahead

Yes, they go on and on

Out of this hell

Don’t you see the sun above?

Can’t you feel its warmth inside of you?

Look into the sunlight above

And let it shatter hatred

Inside of you
