Einladung zum Ball English translation
von Jim Steinman

Good evening, do not be afraid of me
I am the angel that you are in need of
The wait will be over soon, because I invite you
At the ball of the year we shall dance through the night
Until your desire makes a woman of you

Or would you prefer if everything would stay the same?
Do you think that would be enough for you?
I don’t think that would be enough for you
Would you prefer to pray until you’re gray and bitter?
Do you think that would be enough for you?
You know exactly that wouldn’t be enough!


They warned you of sin and danger
But you have always suspected
That their safety was a big fraud
All that you were promised was a lie
Everyone has deceived you with their bribes.

But I will give you what you are missing!
A journey on the wings of the night
Into a reality of truth
Into a rush of darkness
Prepare your heart
I invite you to the midnight ball

I will give you what you are missing!
A journey on the wings of the night
To escape your everyday life
Into the rush of fantasies
It will be the time soon!
I invite you to the midnight ball
To the ball
