Every evening the man in the moon turns on his light

So that you can see something on earth

Which, if he doesn't turn it on, you can't

But then he wouldn't see what was happening here

And the man often looks down at both of us

Because he really cares about you

And then he sees when we are cuddling or arguing

But we probably argue more

And if things get really bad, you get into your spaceship and it flies

To the man in the moon who finally gets what he's wanted for so long

Sometimes the man in the moon becomes

Rewarded for his loyal service

And if you look at him very sweetly

Then he takes out the lantern

If you look at him very sweetly

Then he takes out the lantern

Lives in the sky

The Man in the Moon

And he is certainly in love

Are you up there with the man in the moon?

Then he does all sorts of things to you

You can even hear you raging down here

And of course it rages inside me too

But by the next morning you've had enough of the man in the moon

You sit down in your spaceship and he wishes you a safe flight

Sometimes the man in the moon becomes

Rewarded for his loyal service

And if you look at him very sweetly

Then he takes out the lantern

Sometimes the man in the moon becomes

Rewarded for his loyal service

And if you look at him very sweetly

Then he takes out the lantern

Sometimes the man in the moon becomes

Rewarded for his loyal service

And if you look at him very sweetly

Then he takes out the lantern

Sometimes the man in the moon becomes

Rewarded for his loyal service

And if you look at him very sweetly

Then he takes out the lantern

anknipst — switches on

Anknipsen means "to switch on" or "to flick on" (a light). It's a more informal and playful verb than einschalten, making it interesting and memorable.

In "Mann Im Mond," the lyrics describe the Man in the Moon switching on his light every evening. The use of anknipst adds a whimsical, almost childlike image to this celestial act, perfectly fitting the song's lighthearted tone about the moon's role in our lives and relationships.

Have you ever wondered what the Man in the Moon is up to? Die Prinzen give us a really fun take on it in "Mann Im Mond"! Every night, the Man in the Moon turns on his light, "Damit man auf der Erde auch was sieht" [So that you can also see something on Earth]. But he's not just illuminating the world for us; he's also watching everything that happens down here, especially between a couple.

He's particularly interested in you, watching as the couple "schmusen oder streiten" [cuddle or argue] – and, let's be honest, they probably argue more! The song gets really imaginative when it says that if things get bad enough, you might even fly your spaceship up to the Man in the Moon. He finally gets what he's always wanted! And sometimes, for his loyal service, he's rewarded: "Und wenn du ihn ganz lieb anschaust Dann holt er die Laterne raus" [And if you look at him very kindly Then he takes out the lantern]. It's a playful, slightly cheeky look at a classic figure, imagining him as a lonely observer who gets a special visit now and then.
