And when you go for a walk,

the sunlight may be enough, 
but to light the city of Berlin, 
the sun is not enough.
This is no little hicktown.
This is one helluva city!
If you want to see everything you can,
You have to use a few watts!
So what then? So what then?
What kind of a city is it then?

​

Come, turn on the lights so we can see what there is to see!
Come, turn on the lights and don't say another word.
Come, turn on the lights, so we can see for sure what the big deal is: Berlin in lights! 
 

Youkali

It is almost at the end of the world,
my vagabond board,
wandering at the will of the sea,
led me there one day.
The island is entirely small,
but the fairy who dwells there
politely invites us to tour it.

​

Youkali,
it is the land of our desires,
it is happiness, it is pleasure,
it is the land one leaves all his worries,
it is, on our night, like a sunny spell, the star that one follows, it’s Youkali.
it is the respect of all of the exchanged vows,
it is the land of the beautiful shared loves,
it is the hope that is in the heart of all humans,
the deliverance that we are waiting for until tomorrow,
but it is a dream, a folly, there is no Youkali!

And life drags us along,
weary, daily,
but the poor human soul,
seeking obliviously everywhere,
has known how to find the mystery
in order to leave the earth,
where our dreams are buried
in some Youkali.

​

Youkali,
it is the land of our desires,
it is happiness, it is pleasure,
it is the land one leaves all his worries,
it is, on our night, like a sunny spell, the star that one follows, it’s Youkali.
it is the respect of all of the exchanged vows,
it is the land of the beautiful shared loves,
it is the hope that is in the heart of all humans,
the deliverance that we are waiting for until tomorrow,
but it is a dream, a folly, there is no Youkali!
