[Verse 1]
In the frontier villages they watch the trains pass by so slowly
And roads are deserted in Tozeur
From a house far away your mother observes me
And she remembers me for my very special ways

[Chorus]
Then for just a moment my longing to live at another pace begins to waken in me
Still they pass, still very slowly, the trains for Tozeur

[Verse 2]
In the churches, God-forsaken shelters are being prepared
And new ships for trips among the stars
In an old empty mine vast stretches of salt
And a memory of me like into a magic spell

[Chorus]
Then for just a moment my longing to live at another pace begins to waken in me
Still they pass, still very slowly, the trains for Tozeur

[Bridge]
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Dai-du-da-bo-dai-dai, do-dai-dai, do-dai-ba-da-da-da, dai-da-da-da-dai-dai-dai-da
Doch wir wollen ihn dir zeigen, und du wirst

[Outro]
In the frontier villages they watch the trains pass by for Tozeur
