Leuchtturm English translation
von Peter Maffay mit Jennifer Weist

Starless night, no lanterns
The night is roaring
Let the tide be turning and spinning
One part of it gambled away, the rest squandered
And still no end to see
Everything is black
Only the liquor is burning bright
My hand isn't empty
As long as I'm holding yours

We are steering towards the unknown

But we don't see any mainland
Where there was still a light yesterday
There's no more light to see today
Has our lighthouse burnt down?

Because we don't see any mainland
When everything is at stake
And nobody knows what's the game
And nobody knows the direction
Has our lighthouse burnt down?


Ship lanterns are shining for us in vain
In the fog, there's a cone of light
There is no destination, no horizon
No other sail to see
The crew on board
Is breathing weary and heavily
Nobody says a word
The sea is raging around us

We are steering towards the unknown

But we don't see any mainland
Where there was still a light yesterday
There is no more light to see today
Has our lighthouse burnt down?

Because we don't see any mainland
When everything is at stake
And nobody knows what's the game
And nobody knows the direction
Has our lighthouse burnt down?
Has our lighthouse burnt down`?
Oh

Ho oh oh ho
(8x)

Until the sun is rising again
And as long as our drunkenness has faded
We'll stay together


But we don't see any mainland
Where there was still a light yesterday
There's no more light to see today
Has our lighthouse burnt down?

Because we don't see any mainland
When everything is at stake
And nobody knows what's the game
And nobody knows the direction
Has our lighthouse burnt down?
Has our lighthouse burnt down?

Uh, thank you so much
I'm pleased (to sing for you)
Thank you so much
