Haus Der Drei Sonnen Lyrics in English NENA , Peter Heppner

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Haus Der Drei Sonnen by NENA from German to English.
In the house of three suns
Far from this world
Where the shining wheels of fate spin
In the house of stories
That nobody tells
Where spaceships blow up alone in space
On the express train to hope
That stops nowhere
An old gambler fights
For his last money
Wants everything at once and right now
The ship that's sinking
Yet the captain stays on board
Yet the captain stays on board
The ship that's sinking
Yet the captain stays on board
In the house of three suns
Far from this world
On the express train to hope
That stops nowhere
Where the shining wheels of fate spin
And spaceships blow up alone in space
Three-sun house
The wheel of fortune spins
Three-sun house
The spaceship explodes
Sometimes he's doing fine
Then he's doing bad again
Sometimes he's lucky
But mostly he's unlucky
In the house of three suns
He forgets the world
Has never counted his losses
The express train to hope
Derailed long ago
In the house of three suns
That his fate foretells
Everything at once and right now
The ship goes under
Yet the captain stays on board
Yet the captain stays on board
The ship that's sinking
Yet the captain stays on board
In the house of three suns
Far from this world
On the express train to hope
That stops nowhere
Where the shining wheels of fate spin
And spaceships blow up alone in space
Three-sun house
The wheel of fortune spins
Three-sun house
The spaceship explodes
Three-sun house
The train that stops nowhere
Three-sun house
Far from this world
Far from this world
Far from this world
Far from this world

SONG MEANING

Welcome to the Haus der Drei Sonnen, a surreal casino floating far from Earth. Here, blazing wheels of fate spin like red neon roulette tables, lonely starships burst in the void, and a seasoned gambler rides a high-speed train to hope that never makes a stop. NENA and Peter Heppner paint a vivid sci-fi dreamscape that mirrors real-life risks: staking everything on luck, craving instant gratification, and feeling trapped in cycles of win-or-lose. Each image—the sinking ship, the derailed train, the exploding spacecraft—echoes the same warning: chase everything at once and you may watch it all slip away.

Yet there is stubborn resilience in this cosmic night club. The captain refuses to abandon ship, the gambler keeps rolling the dice, and the house keeps glowing under its triple suns. The song’s pulsing synth-pop beat turns existential dread into a danceable anthem, reminding us that even when hope feels distant, we still stand at the tables, writing our own stories under strange, hypnotic lights.
