Segel Setzen Lyrics in English by In Extremo
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Segel Setzen by In Extremo from German to English.
Wenn der Mond sein Licht verliert
If the moon loses its light
Dich die Sonne nicht mehr wärmt
The sun no longer warms you
Wenn aus Zwergen Riesen werden
When dwarfs become giants
Die Welt von alten Helden schwärmt
The world raves about old heroes
Wenn die Schatten länger werden
When the shadows grow longer
Wenn Dir der Haß die Luft abdrückt
When hate chokes the air from you
Worte tief im Herzen brennen
Words burn deep in your heart
Und Du spürst - Du wirst verrückt!
And you feel - you're going crazy!
Dann komm mit mir auf die Reise
Then come with me on the journey
Dann komm mit mir - weit hinaus!
Then come with me - far out!
Nimm sie mit, deine Träume
Take them with you, your dreams
Bevor das Jahr ergraut!
Before the year turns gray!
Wenn die Tage länger werden
When the days grow longer
Spinnen ihre Netze ziehn
Spiders spin their webs
Wenn alle Worte schon gesagt
When all words have already been said
Dann ist es an der Zeit - zu fliehen!
Then it's time - to flee!
Wenn das Grollen lauter wird
When the rumbling gets louder
Falsche Töne plötzlich Kunst!
False notes suddenly art!
Wenn Feiglinge zu Götzen werden
When cowards become idols
Dann ist hier kein Platz für uns!!
Then there's no place for us here!!
Dann komm mit mir auf die Reise
Then come with me on the journey
Dann komm mit mir - weit hinaus
Then come with me - far out
Nimm sie mit, deine Träume
Take them with you, your dreams
Bevor das Jahr ergraut!
Before the year turns gray!
Laß uns Segel setzen - laß uns von hier fliehen!
Let's set sail - let's flee from here!
Ich will Dich nicht missen
I don't want to miss you
Du darfst mich entführen!
You may abduct me!
Nimm sie mit - deine Träume!
Take them with you - your dreams!
Nimm sie mit!!
Take them with you!!
Laß uns Segel setzen
Let's set sail
Laß uns von hier fliehen!
Let's flee from here!
Ich will Dich nicht missen
I don't want to miss you
DU darfst mich entführen!!
YOU may abduct me!!

Did you like this lyrics translation?
entführen — to abduct / to kidnap / to carry away
Entführen literally means "to abduct" or "to kidnap," which might sound intense for a song!
However, in the context of "Segel setzen," it's used in a more romantic and adventurous sense: "Du darfst mich entführen!" (You may carry me away!). It implies being swept away on a journey, escaping the mundane, and embracing a new adventure with a loved one. This dual meaning makes it a captivating and memorable word.
