If you always read your newspaper before work in the morning
Why don't you read out loud, because you can't hear anything?
If I pretend with my fingers as a gun
As if I'm shooting at someone, why does it bother you?
Tell me, do cows sleep standing up?
If you turn the sky, are you then above the rain?
Why doesn't the moon fall down to us
And when do the dead wake up again?

Questions upon questions, night after night
Sometimes I know the answers, sometimes I have to guess
How many scars do pirates have?
I'll tell you, then it's time to sleep ("yes, okay")

With your thousand questions you come to me every night
You want to know what it will be like one day
What I know, every secret I will tell you
And I'll stay here until you've fallen asleep

If someone asks me how old I am, I always say: "Five!"
But how does this age get inside me?
If something bad happens when I press it
Why is the switch so small?
Tell me, when is this "soon"
And why do you go out on the terrace and then it smokes?
Why is there war or peace?
How does falling in love work and how do you learn to fly?

Questions upon questions, night after night
Sometimes I know the answers, sometimes I have to guess
Why are the fingers so wrinkled after bathing?
I'll tell you, but then it's time to sleep ("okay")

With your thousand questions you come to me every night
You want to know what it will be like one day
What I know, every secret I will tell you
And I'll stay here until you've fallen asleep

You still have so many questions, questions
That burn on your soul
That's why you don't want to sleep, sleep
Rather keep talking, because
You still have so many questions, questions
Believe me, everything I know
I will reveal and tell you
Everything else time will explain to you

With your thousand questions you come to me every night
You want to know what it will be like one day
What I know, every secret I will tell you
And I'll stay here until you've fallen asleep

Until you've fallen asleep
Until you've fallen asleep
("Alright")
