Secrets

Listen to the voices drifting through the windows

Of the grand old villas of Bonn

All the town's dark secrets

Float through the Rhine lands river mists

The wives of bankers reminisce in whispers

Debiliated by horrors, half heard, half remembered

All the town's dark secrets

Unstable and dangerous, fearful and feared

The lights went out all over Europe

And in the darkness of space

The stars are blinking with our hope

As a rocket roars out of the Cape

An dein Gesicht kann ich mich nicht erinnern (I don't remember your face)

Doch deine Hände sind mir vertraut (but your hands are familiar)

Am Morgen wirst du mich als Diener oder als Liebhaber aufwecken (you will wake me in the morning as my butler or my lover)

Je nachdem was ich will (depending on what I want)

Im Dunkeln haben wir keine Geheimnisse (we've no secrets in the dark)

Ich werde Deine Prinzessin vom Mars sein (I'll be your princess from Mars)

We've just climbed back to where we belong

This town once belonged to me, now it does again

All the town's dark secrets

Well up through fifty silent years

The lights went out all over Europe

And in the darkness of space

The stars are blinking without hope

As a rocket roars out of the Cape

I don't remember your face but your hands are familiar

You will wake me in the morning as my butler or my lover

Depending on what I want

We've no secrets in the dark

I'll be your princess from Mars
