Berlin, Berlin ...
Far out the old world lives
on this island in Germany
And still out there through the window at six in the morning
The essence survives
Berlin, Berlin ...

Young faces new ideals,
in search of paradise
They merge into the history, the theatre of memories
that make up the feel
of Berlin, Berlin ...
