Blinde Passagiere (Leipzig-Live-2024) English translation
von Peter Maffay

We can't see the bridges anymore
Too many walls made of cement
We no longer feel what connects us
Only this coldness that divides us
We are a small part of the whole
But can’t share the whole anymore
There are so many people
But far too often alone

We are like blind passengers
Drifting aimlessly
On a little blue ball
Through the vast, black sea
We are like blind passengers
Don’t know where we’re headed
And when you get off someday, everyone wants to say
We loved, we lived


It was never in our hands
We are born somewhere
Sometimes with holes in our pockets
Sometimes in silver, without worries
Sometimes we have less than nothing
But make more than everything, more than everything out of it
Sometimes we get a window seat, ohh
But don’t even look outside

We are like blind passengers
Drifting aimlessly
On a little blue ball
Through the vast, black sea
We are like blind passengers
Don’t know where we’re headed
And when you get off someday, everyone wants to say
We loved, we lived
We loved, we lived

We are like blind passengers
Drifting aimlessly
And when you get off someday, everyone wants to say:
We loved, we lived


We are like blind passengers
Drifting aimlessly
On a little blue ball
Through the vast, black sea
Blind passengers
Don’t know where we’re headed
And when you get off someday, everyone wants to say
We loved, we lived
