Moskau - New York

On the benches of the gardens of Prague I see them reading
Recovered from the days of intolerance and silence
And they form a spiritual bond with the poets of the world
Yes, they talk to everyone as they please

A Russian dances samba in Rio with shining eyes
And the sky of Venice shines brightly full of snow-white doves
All the sounds of carnival travel around the globe like songs
We'll meet again later on Red Square

Over Houston there are no longer any Star Wars rehearsals
All the days of the Cold War are far away
Billions of rifles sink into the depths of the sea
Generals no matter where they stand dismiss the armies

Moscow New York
Overcoming everything that separates
Moscow New York
Rediscovering common ground

I saw the love that caught fire
It was on the day
It was on the day
It was the day when hatred perished

In the fields of Johannesburg, trust is sown together
In the mountains of Kabul I see people building the future
The day hatred perished, one finally forgot
That a goal can only be achieved in the fight for one’s own interests
In Berlin the wall is destroyed from both sides
Freedom is carried into the future as a common torch

Moscow New York
Overcoming everything that separates
Moscow New York
Rediscovering common ground

I saw the love that caught fire
It was on the day
It was on the day
It was the day when hatred perished

Moscow New York
Beijing La Paz
Be limitlessly free
Completely without hate
Jerusalem Beirut
Santiago Berlin
From the courage to forgive
Will a new beginning
