Cello Lyrics in English Udo Lindenberg , Clueso

Home / Lyrics Translation / Udo Lindenberg / Cello

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cello by Udo Lindenberg from German to English.

Hitchhiked or by moped

Or rode the train without a ticket

I was always somehow chasing after you

No, back then I didn't miss a single concert of yours

And at night I couldn't sleep

Or if I did, I dreamed about you

You played cello

In every hall around our area

I always sat in the front row

And I found you so arousing

Cello

You were a goddess to me

And sometimes you looked at me

And I thought: "Man, man!"

And then I was totally wrecked again

I was there all the time

And that finally convinced you

We always wanted to stay together

And anyway

The thing with you was so huge

You just can't describe it

And today you live in Erfurt

And your cello's in the basement

Come on, take that thing out again

And play as beautifully as before

You played cello

In every hall around our area

I always sat in the front row

And I found you so arousing

Cello

You were a goddess to me

Sometimes you looked at me

And I thought: "Man, man!"

And then I was totally wrecked again

Outro

Cello, yeah

You played cello

Doesn't matter, even in Chicago

I was there, you were there, we're there

Cello

SONG MEANING

Cello is a playful love letter to youthful obsession and the magnetic pull of music. The storyteller remembers racing after a captivating cellist on mopeds, hitchhiking, even sneaking onto trains, just to catch every show. He always grabbed the front-row seat, heart pounding while she bowed her strings like a goddess. Those concerts filled his days with excitement and his nights with dream-spun melodies.

Years have rolled by, and the once electrifying cello now gathers dust in a basement in Erfurt. With a mix of nostalgia and gentle pleading, he urges her to tune up and relive the magic. The song celebrates first love, the thrill of live music, and the hope that shared passions can strike up a fresh chord no matter how much time has passed.
