Wohnung gucken English translation
von Ina Müller

The crumbs on the table and the TV’s on
Something’s happening side by side
The radiators clanking, a fireplace would be nice
Today it never really got bright
Somewhere a bell rings — luckily not ours
Someone’s calling someone else
And I know it would be good to go outside today
And I also know it’s just so warm right now

But come on, let’s go look into people’s apartments
With our chins buried deep in our jackets
Come on, let’s go look into people’s apartments
And without saying a word

Somewhere around Steindamm, your arm on my shoulder
And you pull me even closer to you
’Cause when we go to look into people’s apartments
It’s nice that you know when I’m cold
It’s nice that you know when I’m cold


The last yellow leaves still cling to the branch
Only the wind knows the winner
We know these cracks in the asphalt by heart
And we walk this path over and over again

We’re already as old as that construction site there
That’s been decorating the crossroads for years
Hey, how can you even be homesick for here?
It’s probably because of you

But come on, let’s go look into people’s apartments
With our chins buried deep in our jackets
Come on, let’s go look into people’s apartments
And without saying a word

Somewhere around Steindamm, your arm on my shoulder
And you pull me even closer to you
’Cause when we go to look into people’s apartments
It’s nice that you know when I’m cold
It’s nice that you know when I’m cold

For the golden windows, the flickering TV screens
The terrible décor in so many rooms
Once around the corner, a stretch through the winter
For closed curtains and the stories behind them

Come on, let’s go look into people’s apartments
With our chins buried deep in our jackets
