Und der Teufel schaut mir über die Schulter [English translation]

On the balcony on the 20th floor of the hotel,

my glass is almost empty and outside it'll be light soon,

Paris, you are on your knees,

I think of Michelle but tonight she's loving him

somewhere in Berlin

And the devil looks over my shoulder

and he whispers softly in my ear

The stairs to heaven are too thorny and steep

and brother - you'll never stand before them

It may be that this game went too far, I risked too much

And now I''m presented with the blame

An image dances before my eyes

Tonight you lie with him on your French bed

in Berlin

And the devil looks over my shoulder

and he whispers softly in my ear

The stairs to heaven are too thorny and steep

and brother - you'll never stand before them

They say that up there is a star for each of us

I would like to know if the one I like is still free

I throw your Egyptian ring

into the neon sea and follow it with a few curses

And the devil looks over my shoulder

and he whispers softly in my ear

The stairs to heaven are too thorny and steep

and brother - you'll never stand before them

I was never one of the hunters, I was more a soft rebel

with hardhitting tricks I was never very quick

and today a star calls me

Come to me, there you find peace and I close my eyes,

and I go to it tiredly

I close my eyes and go to it
