Tausend Fenster

Nun trägt schon die Stadt ihr Abendkleid
Ein Lichtermeer in der Dunkelheit
Die große Einsamkeit tritt in jedes Haus um diese Zeit

Wie auf kleinen Inseln leben wir
Du weißt nicht mal, wer wohnt neben dir
Ihr alle kennt euch nicht
In der gleichen Welt von Lärm und Licht

Viele tausend Fenster leuchten hell in dieser Stadt
Und du fragst dich: Wer mag wohl dahinter sein?
Viele tausend Fenster sagen stumm: Hier lebt noch wer
Grad' wie du so einsam und allein

Kann da drüben das der Mensch nicht sein
Von dem du träumst, schon jahraus jahrein?
Der dein Zuhause wär?
Doch dich trennt von ihm ein Häusermeer

Morgen ist dein Herz genauso leer
Dann hoffst du auch noch genauso sehr
Nicht so allein zu sein
In der grauen Welt aus Stahl und Stein

Viele tausend Fenster leuchten hell in dieser Stadt
Und du fragst dich: Wer mag wohl dahinter sein?
Viele tausend Fenster sagen stumm: Hier lebt noch wer
Grad' wie du so einѕam und аllein

Thousands of windows

Now the city wears an evening dress
A sea of lights in the darkness
The loneliness enters in every house at this time

We live like we're on little islands
You even don't know who lives next to you
You all, you don't know each other
In the same world of noise and lights

Many thousands of windows shine bright in this city
And you ask yourself: Who might be behind them?
Many thousands of windows say silently: here still lives somebody
As lonesome and alone as you

Could that human over there be the one
Of whom you are dreaming year after year?
Who might be your home?
But you are seperated from him by a sea of houses

Tomorrow your heart is still empty
Then you are still hoping
That you are not alone
In this grey world of steel and stone

Many thousands of windows shine bright in this city
And you ask yourself: who might be behind them?
Many thousands of windows say silently: Here still lives somebody
As lonesome and alone аѕ you

Thousand Windows

As I walk around the lonely town
The cloak of night wears a moonlit gown
The lamps reflect my dreams
In the rainy streets of lovers' streams

Strangers pass me by, where do they go –
To say goodbye or to say hello?
To empty rooms alone
Or to arms that long to seem them hold?

As a thousand windows light the shadows of the night
And a thousand rooms are hidden from my sight
With the young, the old, the lonely and the lovers there
Does the city have no time to care?

In the busy crowd that hurries by
Do strangers care if you laugh or cry?
But then, of course it's true
That the passerby has troubles too

On the road of life, where we belong
You hope someday, someone comes along
Through light, the windows of
Hearts that long to find their own true love

As a thousand windows light the shadows of the night
And a thousand rooms are hidden from my sight
With the young, the old, the lonely and the lovers there
Doeѕ the city have no time to cаre?

For Loving Me

Bless your little heart for loving me
And giving me all this happiness
My world is brighter now
So much lighter now you're by my side

All I have is yours for loving me
And showing me all this tenderness
I need to stay with you
Every day with you, forever more

Every day I'll give my thanks to you for loving me
And for ending all the sorrow that I knew
And the only way I can repay your loving me
Is to spend my lifetime loving you

Bless your little heart for loving me
And giving me all this happiness
My world is brighter now
So much lighter now you're by my side

All I have is yours for loving me
And showing me all this tenderness
I need to stay with you
Every day with you, forever more

Every day I'll give my thanks to you for loving me
And for ending all the sorrow that I knew
And the only way I can repаy your loving me
Is to ѕpend my lifetime loving you

Vítám vítr v údolí

Zas byl suchý rok a málo dal
A bůhvíčím, že déšť nepadal
Náš lán se žárem vzňal
A tak zpívám žal u ohně dál

Pouhý rok byl suchý a chléb nám vzal
A bůh jen ví, jak nás uchoval
Však v dáli oblak stál
A teď houstne nám na nebi dál

A tak vítám vítr, vítám zpátky v údolí
Jen ať fouká, dlouho fouká, zkrátka dál
Ano, vítám vítr, vítám náhlý z nebe dar
Tam kde pouze úhor byl a žár

Tam, kde suchý rok nám úsměv vzal
A lásku nám tak odepsal
Kde lán se žárem vzňal
Kde bych zpíval žal u ohně dál

Sucho na dně řek a v studnách kal
A bůh jen ví, jak nás uchoval
Však v dáli oblak stál
A teď houѕtne nám na nebi dál

A tak vítám vítr, vítám zpátky v údolí
Jen ať fouká, dlouho fouká, zkrátka dál
Ano, vítám vítr, vítám náhlý z nebe dar
Tam kde pouze úhor byl а žár
