Du Bleibst Lyrics in English Clueso

Home / Lyrics translation / Clueso / Du Bleibst

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Du Bleibst by Clueso from German to English.

I pull you into my arms again and let it happen

No matter where you go or what you do

You stay

We were both still young

We had to learn to love first

We hardly ever fought, it was like peace on earth

So fitting that I'm losing my breath now

I thank you for that series of wonderful years with you

You always had that idea, I mean, you won't give it up

You want to see more of the world, live your dream

I wake up with a heavy heart and hear you singing in the shower

And I don't want to be the one who takes you to the airport

I see others hugging in the line at check-in

The board, your flight, the letters change

People rushing who, like you, will all be gone soon

I stay alone and try to smile

Chorus 1

I pull you into my arms again and let it happen

No matter where you go or what you do

You stay

Chorus 1

Hug me once more and do it like that

No matter where you go, I'll let it happen

And stay

I try to bridge the distance by writing to you

Phone, SMS, Facebook, e-mail and Skype, whatever

Long-distance love is eternal frustration

You go even crazier the less you hear from the other

It's tricky, because I don't know where you are

I lost you to someone, don't even know if he exists

You're out there, a beautiful woman in another country

I push the thoughts away, the picture: you and another man

Maybe I'm just overdoing it, it wasn't that long ago

That I accuse you of riding two tracks right now

I distract myself and rearrange my room

And trip over a thousand memories

I pull you into my arms again and let it happen

No matter where you go or what you do

You stay

Hug me once more and do it like that

No matter where you go, I'll let it happen

And stay

Where we were in agreement

Others start to argue

Between one of our lines there's more

Than you could write in a book

I can't really explain it

But I know if it were gone

I'd sit down and write a song

This time 'forgetting is so hard'

I pull you into my arms again and let it happen

No matter where you go or what you do

You stay

zweigleisig fährst — you're running on two tracks / playing both sides

Zweigleisig fährst literally translates to "you're driving on two tracks." It's an idiomatic expression that means you're pursuing two different options or relationships at the same time.

In the song, the singer is expressing his fear and suspicion that his partner, who is traveling, might be seeing someone else. He sings, "Dass ich dir unterstell dass du gerade zweigleisig fährst" (That I accuse you of currently playing both sides), highlighting his insecurity and the emotional distance in their long-distance relationship.

“Du Bleibst” (You Stay) captures that bittersweet moment when love and farewell share the same embrace.

In this heartfelt track, Clueso revisits a relationship that once felt like “peace on earth.” His partner is chasing new horizons, suitcases in hand, while he stays behind counting memories and departure boards. The chorus mantra “Du bleibst” is both a promise and a plea: even if planes take her far away, she will stay in his heart. We follow him through late-night messages, Skype calls, and jealous daydreams as he wrestles with long-distance doubts. Yet beneath the worry lies gratitude for the “serie wunderbarer Jahre” they shared and a quiet strength to let her live her dream. The result is a tender reminder that real love can outlast goodbye—anchored by music, memories, and the simple act of writing a song when “vergessen ist so schwer.”
