Luftbahn Lyrics

Cover art for Luftbahn lyrics by Deichkind

I think this is such a beautiful song. It just makes me so relaxed. Since there is no English translation done for this yet, I figured I'd give it a go. German is not my first language so please forgive any mistakes you may feel I have made. Also, because of language differences, I did include a couple of looser translations that I felt had a closer idea to the meaning in German. Beside those I did include a closer translation as well.

We're riding with the air train through the night The moon shines only for us We have coped with it (possibly: accomplished it) And all of the problems in the world Lie in the distance for us We're riding with the air train through the night Where the star filled sky smiles on us (where the starry sky laughs for us)

From my shoulders Falls the entire burden You will feel it never again The gravity

And should it really happen (pass) That we lose ourselves in the Universe Then I will burn for you So that you never perish in the cold

[refrain]

Weightless, we feel weightless Weightless, we feel weightless

You had big doubts (your doubts were large) Nobody was interested You feel like it's slowly becoming easier The worst is now behind you You are still dazed We will soon arrive Now you don't need to cry anymore Because I have taken you by the hand Sometimes you (one) has to get out Because the world is too small Do you want the endlessness? Then let yourself rise and fall (fall and rise) with it I'll show you true love And how good it feels to clench your fists (how good it is to clench the fists) We'll fly from darkness to sunlight Until we turn to dust

[refrain]

Weightless, we feel weightless Weightless, we feel weightless

[refrain]

Weightless, we feel weightless Weightless, we feel weightless
