Odyssee English translation
von Udo Lindenberg

captains and officers
And millions of stowaways
Meet at the blue hour
Valijum cocktails will be served
The compass is stuck, the navigators
Have long since lost direction
The night is black, the fog so dense
And for years there has been no land in sight


This is the odyssey, odyssey and no one knows where the journey is going
Odyssey, odyssey because madness is at the wheel

On bulletproof command bridges
Sick old men on iron crutches
Sitting at the gaming table, greedy and fat
Play American Poker and Russian Roulette

We are on an odyssey, odyssey and no one knows where the journey is going
Odyssey, odyssey because madness is at the wheel

And children stare from the railing at the sunset on the horizon
And they're afraid of the eternal night
That the sun won't come back tomorrow morning


Odyssey, odyssey and no one knows where the journey is going
