Lyrics & Translation
Learning German with Clueso's 'Gewinner' offers a unique opportunity to explore poetic language and emotional depth. The song's clever wordplay and use of personal pronouns in its memorable chorus provide a practical lesson in German grammar. What makes 'Gewinner' special is its beautiful ambiguity, allowing for personal interpretation of its themes of love, loss, and ultimate triumph.
No matter who comes, no matter who goes, it doesn't matter.
I believe nothing, I believe in you, do you believe in me, I think I do too.
I ask myself, I ask you, but if I don't ask, do you ask yourself too.
I'm in, you're in, we're about to lose ourselves.
I'm in, are you in, are we about to lose ourselves.
I'm in, you're in, we're about to lose ourselves.
I'm in, are you in, am I about to lose ourselves.
Easier than easy, maybe it goes, easier than what maybe was!
Easier than easy, that's not far from here to what wasn't yet.
If you look for me, then I'll look for you, if the temptation is big enough!
I allow it, come allow it, come let's do it one more time!
I won't give up, will you come with me, will you come with me, towards us!
If you can't think of anything, don't hang up, get upset and then calm down.
I'm in, you're in, we're about to lose ourselves.
I'm in, are you in, are we about to lose ourselves.
I'm in, you're in, we're about to lose ourselves.
I'm in, are you in, am I about to lose ourselves.
I'm in, you're in, we're about to lose ourselves.
I'm in, are you in, are we about to lose ourselves.
Ohhh
Yeeeh
I'm in!
You're in!
We're in!
Ohhh
I'm in!
Are you in?!
Are we in?!
