Lyrics
[edit]The German samples:
Kinder und Sterne küssen und verlieren sich
Greifen leise meine Hand und führen mich
Die Traumgötter brachten mich in eine Landschaft
Schmetterlinge flatterten durch meine Seele
In der Mitternacht
translate as follows:
Children and stars are kissing and losing themselves (or: each other)
Quietly taking my hand and leading me
The gods of dreams brought me to a landscape
Butterflies fly through my soul
At midnight
