Perfekte Welle (aus "Sing Meinen Song, Vol. 11") Lyrics in English by Johannes Oerding

Unerwartet means 'unexpected'. It's a compound word formed from 'un-' (not), 'erwarten' (to expect), and '-et' (a past participle ending), literally meaning 'not expected'.

In the song, it captures the sudden, overwhelming feeling of a perfect wave arriving after a long wait. The line "Mein Gott das war unerwartet, unerwartet" emphasizes the surprise and intensity of this long-awaited moment, making it a powerful and memorable word in the context of the song's theme of seizing opportunities.

Johannes Oerding's "Perfekte Welle" [Perfect Wave] is all about seizing that one incredible opportunity you've been waiting for your whole life! The lyrics describe someone who has "'n Leben lang gewartet" [waited a lifetime] and almost given up hope, with their "Brett ist verstaubt" [board is dusty] and "Zweifel schäumen über" [doubts overflowing].

But then, that perfect moment arrives: "Jetzt kommt sie langsam auf dich zu" [Now it's slowly coming towards you]. It's a call to let go of overthinking and just embrace the ride: "Lass dich einfach von ihr tragen Denk am besten gar nicht nach" [Just let it carry you It's best not to think at all]. It's a powerful reminder that sometimes, the best thing to do is just dive in and enjoy the "perfekte Tag" [perfect day]!
