Herzschrittmacher English translation
von Adel Tawil

We are happily lying on the roofs of houses
Drink sparkling wine from paper cups
You tell me about the last year
And how it was summer in Cairo
I listen, eyes closed
Never a moment enjoyed too much
Everything is turning too fast
Grey houses, grey world
You are what keeps me alive


Without you i can't bear all of this
Without you my heart stops beating
You make me awake and awake
Like a pacemaker
Without you my heart stops beating
Without you i would have so many questions
You make me awake and awake
You are my pacemaker (2x)

Everything so far in the distance
Below us concrete, above us the stars
You shine with every word
I don't want to go anywhere else
Eyes close, i don't think about tomorrow
They are gone, the doubts, the worries
Everything is turning so fast
Tired eyes, tired world
But you are what keeps me alive

My heart beats, my heart (2x)
My heart beats

And my heart beats, my heart
My heart beats, my heart
My heart beats
