Wenn Sie Tanzt Lyrics in English by Max Giesinger

Barfuß means "barefoot" in German. It's a vivid and evocative word that immediately conjures an image of freedom and being uninhibited.

In the song, the protagonist, a busy mother, escapes her daily routine by dancing. When she dances, she imagines herself in adventurous scenarios like going "barfuß in New York" (barefoot in New York). This word perfectly captures the feeling of liberation and wild abandon she experiences in her dreams, making it a memorable and enticing glimpse into the song's theme of escapism and longing for personal freedom.

This song tells the story of a mom who works a "ganz normale fünfzig Stunden Woche" (a completely normal fifty-hour week). Her life is dedicated to her children; she comes home to cook for them, and the lyrics say "die Kids für sie an erster Stelle stehen" (the kids come first for her). But she also dreams of a different life, wondering "wie es gelaufen wäre / Ohne Kinder" (how it would have gone / without children). She even dreams of simple things, like going on a date in her favorite dress.

Her escape is music and dance. When she puts on her headphones and turns the music up loud, she is transformed. The song says "wenn sie tanzt ist sie wer anders" (when she dances, she is someone else). She lets go and imagines incredible adventures: walking "barfuß in New York" (barfoot in New York), swimming through Alaska, and jumping overboard into the blue water off Bali. It's a powerful look at how a simple moment of dancing can be a huge escape from everyday life.
