Oomph's "Sandmann" with English translation by me. Feel free to let me know if there's any mistakes in the translation.

„Sandmann" von Oomph! mit englischen Übersetzung von mir. Bitte lass mich wissen, wenn irgendetwas falsch übersetzt ist.

===========================

Armes Deutschland
Kannst du deine Kinder sehen
Wie sie vor dem Abgrund Schlange stehen

Krankes Deutschland
Kannst du ihre Angst verstehen
Wenn sie schlafen gehen

La-Le-Lu
Nur der Mann im Mond schaut zu
Wenn die armen Kinder schlafen
Drum schlaf auch du

La-Le-Lu
Und das kleine Herz friert zu
Wenn die anderen Kinder fragen
„Wieviel hast du?"

Sandmann, Sandmann
Mach die Lichter aus
Die Wahrheit ist grausam
Drum schenk mir einen Traum

Sandmann, Sandmann
Komm zu mir nach Haus
Streu mir Sand in meine Augen
Und weck mich nie wieder auf

Armes Deutschland
Kannst du deine Kinder sehen
Wie sie langsam vor die Hunde gehen

Reiches Deutschland
Wann wird dir der Spass vergehen?
Wann wirst du verstehen?

Trocken Brot macht Wangen rot
Der Junge lebt in großer Not
Er schrie sich schon die Lunge wund
Der Hunger brennt im Kindermund

Trocken Brot macht Wangen rot
Doch jeder sitzt im eignen Boot
Ich zeig dir jetzt was Wohlstand ist
Im Land, dass seine Brut vergisst

----------------------------------

Poor Germany
Can you see your children
as they stand in line in front of the abyss?

Sick Germany
Can you understand their fear
when they go to sleep?

La-Le-Lu
Only the man on the moon is watching
If the poor children sleep,
then you'll sleep too

La-Le-Lu
And the little heart freezes over
When the other children ask
"How much do you have?"

Sandman, Sandman
Turn off the lights
The truth is cruel
So send me a dream

Sandman, Sandman
Come to my house
Sprinkle sand into my eyes
and never wake me again

Poor Germany
Can you see your children
as they slowly go to the dogs?

Rich Germany
When will your fun die away?
When will you understand?

Dry bread makes cheeks red
The boy lives in great misery
He's already screamed his lungs sore
Hunger burns in the child's mouth

Dry bread makes cheeks red
But everyone sits in their own boat
I'll show you now what wealth is
In the country that forgets its brood
