Manchmal Kannst Du Nicht Schlafen
Udo Jürgens
Sometimes You Can't Sleep
Sometimes you can't sleep
Because thoughts go around in circles
You play with white sheep
And yet the wheel in my head doesn't stop
You're wondering if I should take something
And turn back halfway
It doesn't change the problems
And somehow you'll get through the night
And somehow you'll get through the night
Who else might be awake besides you
In this silent, much too big city
He could be under your roof
You wouldn't know what he's worried about
Why don't you just go over
Because besides yours only his light burns
And talk about anything
And nobody asks if he knows the other
And nobody asks if he knows the other
Instead, you ponder in circles
And reads the same sentence for minutes
And think my God is silence quiet
And slowly the night gives way to day
You have given up sleeping
And you know the day will be accordingly
But do you give up something in life
It often comes true and you finally fall asleep
It often comes true and you finally fall asleep
Dei dei dei
