Sarah Brightman – Figlio Perduto Lyrics 18 years ago
The lyrics are actually the Italian translation of "Der Erlkönig" ('The Erlking', or ), a really famous German poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

Die Toten Hosen – Hier Kommt Alex Lyrics 18 years ago
Here's an attempt at a slightly more poetic, but far less exact English translation of the song.

In a world where the point of living
Is to go roboting all your life
The only excitement that is given
Comes from the TV's lies.

Like in a clockwork, every word
Is programmed, computerlike
The only protest that is ever heard
Is when the youths come strike.

When in the sky the sun has sunk
The day starts for the Droogs
They assemble and go out to hunt
Marching in small groups.

Hey! Here comes Alex
Curtain up - for his Horrorshow
Hey! Here comes Alex
Curtain up - for a little Horrorshow

Crusading against society
And an establishment out of line
Their religion is brutality
And violence is divine.

Satisfaction is only down the path
Of making victims hurt
Nothing stops their endless wrath
Nothing on this Earth.

Hey! Here comes Alex
Curtain up - for his Horrorshow
Hey! Here comes Alex
Curtain up - for a little Horrorshow

Twenty versus one
Until blood is spilt their way
Perhaps by stick or else by stone
Every head must burst some day.

The next victim is already slain
While you're still calling out
Were our prayers all in vain
To turn this Earth around?

Hey! Here comes Alex
Curtain up - for his Horrorshow
Hey! Here comes Alex
Curtain up - for a little Horrorshow

Hey hey hey! Here comes Alex
Curtain up - for a little Horrorshow!
