The trains of Tozeur

In the frontier villages, they watch the trains pass by so slowly
And roads are deserted in Tozeur
 
From a house far away, your mother observes me
And she remembers me for my very special ways
 
Then, for just a moment, my longing to live at another pace begins to waken in me
Still they pass, still very slowly, the trains for Tozeur
 
In the churches, God-forsaken, shelters are being prepared
And new ships for trips among the stars
 
In an old empty mine, vast stretches of salt
And a memory of me, like into a magic spell
 
Then, for just a moment, my longing to live at another pace begins to waken in me
Still they pass, still very slowly, the trains for Tozeur
 
Mmm...
Dai daba daba da...
Dadai da dada dadada dadá...
Dada dadai da dadá...
 
Doch wir wollen dir ihn zeigen
Und du wirst
Doch wir wollen dir ihn zeigen
Und du wirst
 
In the frontier villages, they watch the trains pass by for Tozeur
