1000 und 1 Nacht English translation
von Klaus Lage

You just wanted to pass the evening
And didn't want to go out alone, so you called me
We were just friends and wanted to stay that way
I never dreamed anything could happen

I don't know how long we've known each other
Your parents went bowling with me back then
We stayed home, you fell asleep in front of the TV
We were like siblings all these years

Touched a thousand times
Nothing happened a thousand times
A Thousand and One Nights
And it zoomed

Do you remember? We played Indians
And hid in the bushes at Carnival
What was going on? We never felt anything.
So close to each other and yet we didn't understand anything.


It was all perfectly logical, we've known each other too long.
For us to become anything again.
I knew what your hair smelled like and the silver barrette.
I'd touched it a thousand times while dancing.

Touched it a thousand times.
Nothing happened a thousand times.
A Thousand and One Nights.
And it zoomed.

Oh, how many nights I didn't know what was missing.
I would never have guessed, because it was you.
And though I often told you about my problems,
I would never have guessed, you were the key.

But I've never seen you so upset.
You're lying next to me and I'm almost ashamed.
What had just happened? We wanted to go dancing.
Everything was so familiar and now everything is new.
Now everything is new.

Touched a thousand times.
A thousand times nothing happened.
One Thousand and One Nights.
And it zoomed.


Touched a thousand times.
A thousand times nothing happened.
One Thousand and One Nights.
And it zoomed.

Touched a thousand times.
A thousand times nothing happened.
One Thousand and One Nights.
And it zoomed.
