Lyrics

The German samples:

Kinder und Sterne küssen und verlieren sich

Greifen leise meine Hand und führen mich

Die Traumgötter brachten mich in eine Landschaft

Schmetterlinge flatterten durch meine Seele

In der Mitternacht

translate as follows:

Children and stars are kissing and losing themselves (or: each other)Quietly taking my hand and leading meThe gods of dreams brought me to a landscapeButterflies fly through my soulAt midnight
