Telefon, Telefon

Telephone, telephone

Telefon, Telefon, wenn dein Ruf erklingt Telephone, telephone, whenever your call is heard
Frag ich mich beim ersten Ton, was er Neues bringt At the very first ring I ask myself, what news you'll bring
Telefon, Telefon, still vergeht die Zeit Telephone, telephone, time goes by silently
Lange, lange wart ich schon, gestern so wie heut I've been waiting a long long time, yesterday and also today
  
Du kennst meine grosse Sehnsucht You know my great desire
Nach dem Schönsten dieser Welt For the most beautiful thing in the world
Das mein Herz und meine Seele Which keeps my heart and my soul
Tag und Nacht in Atem hält Breathing, day and night
  
Telefon, Telefon, lang war ich allein Telephone, telephone, for a long time I've been alone
Sag, wann werde ich zum Lohn endlich glücklich sein? Tell me, when will I be rewarded with happiness at last?
  
Hallo – how do you do? Hello – how do you do?
Hallo – merci beaucoup Hello – thank you very much
So klingt's aus allen Ländern an mein Ohr That's what I hear from every country
Hallo – grazie, sì, sì Hello – thanks, yes, yes
Hallo – nada por mí Hello – nothing for me
Mein Herz ist schon vergeben, no señor My heart is already taken, no sir
  
Telefon, Telefon Telephone, telephone
Telefon, Telefon Telephone, telephone
  
Du kennst meine grosse Sehnsucht You know my great desire
Nach dem Schönsten dieser Welt For the most beautiful thing in the world
Das mein Herz und meine Seele Which keeps my heart and my soul
Tag und Nacht in Atem hält Breathing, day and night
  
Telefon, Telefon, lang war ich allein Telephone, telephone, for a long time I've been alone
Sag, wann werde ich zum Lohn endlich glücklich sein? Tell me, when will I be rewarded with happiness at last?

The lyrics also contain a few words in English, French, Italian & Spanish.
