Auf Die Plätze, Fertig, Ins Glück! Lyrics in English Beatrice Egli
Lichtgeschwindigkeit literally translates to "speed of light." It's a compound noun that immediately evokes a sense of incredible velocity and urgency.
In the song, Beatrice Egli uses this word to describe how worries fly away at the speed of light: "In Lichtgeschwindigkeit fliegen sie an uns vorbei" (At the speed of light, they fly past us). This vivid imagery emphasizes the desire to leave troubles behind quickly and embrace happiness, making it a memorable and engaging word.
Ready, set… into happiness! Beatrice Egli’s lively Schlager-pop anthem is a turbo-charged invitation to drop your fears, grab someone’s hand, and sprint straight toward joy. The repeated starting signal “Auf die Plätze, fertig” (ready, set) turns life into an exciting race where the finish line is pure Glück — that irrepressible feeling that today could last forever. With heartbeats “in light-speed” and a private fire blazing “in this very moment,” the song paints love as a rocket ride that zooms past worries and refuses to look back.
Egli reminds us that bliss expands when it’s shared: together, “nothing can happen to us,” and every second glows with the spark of eternity. Whether you imagine dancing under neon lights or driving through the night until the horizon melts away, this track celebrates living passionately in the now and trusting that the best adventures begin with a simple countdown. Ready, set… let’s go find our happiness!
