Ultraleicht (feat. Elif) [MTV Live Session Hamburg/2014] English translation
von Andreas Bourani

We are just two lights burning for the same fire
Who love the same things and know the same pains
Where have you been all these wonderful years?
I thought I'd travel the whole world to find you
Now you float out of nowhere into my twisted life
And it feels like you've always been there

It seems there is neither space nor time near you
And gravity gives way to weightlessness

With you, with you, with you
I feel ultra-light
With you, with you, with you
I feel ultra-light


You draw your favorite comic book heroes with two fingers
Into the starry sky and onto the distant rocks
We drink vodka tonic, share the last cigarette
And race each other like madmen in the waves
A fireworks display draws colors into the night in the distance
And you look over at me as if I had done it for you

With you, with you, with you
I feel ultra-light
With you, with you, with you
I feel ultra-light

I wouldn't mind freezing the seconds
So as not to lose your lightness
(It remains forever, forever so light, so light)
I wouldn't mind freezing the seconds
So as not to lose your lightness
(It remains forever, forever so light, so light)

With you, with you
I feel ultra-light
With you, with you, with you
I feel ultra-light
With you, with you, with you
I feel ultra-light
