Lyrics & Translation
And dance with joy, on the asphalt
As if it's a rhythm, as if there's a song
That pulls me further and further, through the streets
Coming to meet you, to pick you up, as agreed
At the same time, at the same meeting point, as last time
Through the hustle and bustle, of the crowd
We make our way along the well-known path
Along the alleys, to the Rhine terraces
Over the bridges, all the way to the music
Where everything is loud, where everyone is up for going crazy
Where the others are waiting, to start with us, and to let loose
On days like these, you wish for eternity
On days like these, we still have forever
I wish for eternity
This is forever, forever for today
We won't stand still, for a whole night
Come on, I'll carry you, through the people
Don't be afraid, I'll take care of you
We let ourselves drift, dive under, swim with the current
Spin in circles, won't come down anymore, are weightless
On days like these, you wish for eternity
On days like these, we still have forever
In this night of nights, that promises us so much
We're experiencing the best, no end in sight
No end in sight
No end in sight
No end in sight
On days like these, you wish for eternity
On days like these, we still have forever
In this night of nights, that promises us so much
We're experiencing the best, no end in sight
We're experiencing the best, and no end in sight
No end in sight
