1789 wasn't that long ago
Prize the up the tarmac, there's cobblestones
Goodbye Vienna for some time on the road
The trail still burns, still affecting our soles/souls
Potsdam is so far away
Leipzig we maybe could stay
Waltz with the spectres Kraft and Teyber
No melodies return the favour though
Because of Leipzig's ghosts.
I feel so barren, an empty house
Melodies/rhythm all migrated south
Driven by spirits out of our Saxony
Will they return just to live in our city?
Potsdam is so far away
Leipzig we maybe could stay
Waltz with the spectres Kraft and Teyber
No melody will return the favour though.
200 years attending this way
No composer really could stay
To live up to standards this high
And if someone asks you why, just say
It's because of Leipzig's ghosts.
