Lyrics
Die Nacht
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Wenn die Bürger schlafen gehn in der Zipfelmütze
und zu ihrem König flehn, daß er sie beschütze
ziehn wir festlich angetan, hin zu den Tavernen
Schlendrian, Schlendrian unter den Laternen!
Refrain:
Die Nacht ist nicht allein zum Schlafen da,
die Nacht ist da, daß was gescheh',
ein Schiff ist nicht nur für den Hafen da,
es muß hinaus, hinaus auf hohe See.
Berauscht euch, Freunde, trinkt und liebt und lacht
und lebt den schönsten Augenblick.
Die Nacht, die man in einem Rausch verbracht
bedeutet Seeligkeit und Glück.
Wenn der Morgen endlich graut hinter dunstigen Scheiben
und die Männer ohne Braut beinander bleiben,
schmieden sie im Flüsterton aus Gesprächen Bomben
Rebellion, Rebellion in den Katakomben
Refrain
