Vier Stunden vor Elbe 1 English translation
von Element of Crime

Over there on the horizon, a landscape disappears
A cut to the chest is the farewell, but this time it's cancelled
I want to be more for you than a fleeting acquaintance
This time my heart, this time you're coming with me


Look how thousands of seagulls are craving waste
Just one step, and before us is the sea, behind it lies New York
A foam sprays cheekily up at us like from a thousand beers
This time, my heart, this time you're coming with me

If you feel sick, I'll gladly hold you over the railing
A ride on a thousand tons of steel demands its price
And as old as mankind is the longing for the distance
This time, my heart, this time you're coming with me

Screw the sailor's romanticism
Kick the idiot who invented that
Nobody likes to be alone in the middle of the Atlantic
This time, my heart, this time you're coming with me...
