Nur Geträumt Lyrics in English by Nena
Geträumt means "dreamed" and is the past participle of the verb träumen (to dream). It's a central word in the song, as the title itself is "Nur Geträumt" (Only Dreamed).
In the context of the song, the narrator experiences intense emotions and vivid encounters, only to realize at the end that it was all just a dream. This word perfectly encapsulates the bittersweet realization and the theme of fantasy versus reality that runs through the lyrics.
Have you ever been so into someone that they're all you can think about, even when you're just chilling out? That's exactly what Nena is singing about in "Nur Geträumt" (Only Dreamed). She's feeling super alone and just wants to be with this person, even recognizing their hand right away!
It's like she's lying in the grass, eyes closed, and just letting her mind wander, telling herself stories. She's so caught up in this person that she declares, "Ich hab' heute nichts versäumt, denn ich hab' nur von dir geträumt" (I haven't missed anything today, because I only dreamed of you). The whole song is a whirlwind of emotions – she's confused, getting hot, and feeling like she'll go crazy if something doesn't happen today. Those looks from the person are even annoying her because they just make her think of them more! It's a fun, relatable look at being completely smitten.
