Lyrics & Translation

Learning a language can be an adventure, much like the journey described in Mark Forster's '194 Länder'. This song, with its mentions of diverse global locations and the universal feeling of missing someone, offers a wonderful opportunity to learn German. The lyrics are clear and repetitive, making it easier to pick up new vocabulary related to travel and emotions. What makes this song special is its heartfelt message that no matter where you go, the connection to a loved one is the most valuable thing.

[English]
La, la la la la, hey
...
I was in the hills of L.A.
Among the greatest legends in the world
I was at the port of Marseille
Ate the fish right out of the sea
I was at the heart of Uganda
Enjoyed the warmth of the nights in Kampala
I wandered through the hills
On the Irish Wicklow near Dublin
And I'm already looking at my phone again
Because my mind is with you
Man, when will I finally see you?
I’m sending a red heart to you
There are 194 countries, I want to see each one of them
Six and a half thousand languages
I’m trying to understand them
The whole world full of adventures
I want to experience as much as I can
But you, baby, you, only you
Are the one for me
...
I drank wine in Florence
Under the trees of Tuscany
Man, I partied in Krakow
And I'm almost home in Warsaw
I lay awake in the Big Apple
Sang with choirs in Manhattan
Camino Francés was the salvation
I could discover myself on Spanish paths
And I'm already looking at my phone again
Because my mind is with you
Man, when will I finally see you?
I’m sending a red heart to you
There are 194 countries, I want to see each one of them
Six and a half thousand languages
I’m trying to understand them
The whole world full of adventures
I want to experience as much as I can
But you, baby, you, only you
Are the one for me
...
The whole world full of adventures
I want to experience as much as I can
But you, baby, you, only you
Are the one for me
...
And I'm falling asleep again
With my phone in hand
But today I sleep well, because I know
Tomorrow you will arrive here
There are 194 countries, I want to see each one of them
Six and a half thousand languages
I’m trying to understand them
The whole world full of adventures
I want to experience as much as I can
But you, baby, you, only you
Are the one for me
...
The whole world full of adventures
I want to experience as much as I can
But you, baby, you, only you
Are the one for me
...
