In Paris brennen Autos English translation
von Faber

In Paris, cars are burning and in Zurich, my chimney’s smoking
We are happy when we lie together
In this world, oil is worth more than wine
In this world, I can’t be without you

It’s a good day, the sky is wearing its best gray
And we watch people ruin their day
Because when work calls, a Swiss never stays at home
In a city with many clocks, no one has time


Some are drowning in abundance, others in the sea
A terrorist happily empties an airport
And a Nazi shoots contentedly at a refugee shelter
Sometimes you feel alone as a human

Our roof is the sky, our home is the world
And we love each other when everything outside falls apart
And sometimes I’m glad I don’t know what’s burning outside
And how I forget everything when you give me a smile

And I’ll treat you to an ice cream, maybe later a glass of white wine
You whisper in my ear: "I love you, Habibi"
And I’ll fly to you, to Belgrade, when I have time
I love you, Habibi, baby, I’ll never leave you


In this world, oil is worth more than wine
In this world, I can’t be without you
In this world, I can’t be without you
In this world, I can’t be without you
