Singapur Lyrics in English by In Extremo
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Singapur by In Extremo from German to English.
Die alte Heimat ist fern von hier
The old homeland is far from here
Nur ihre Narben die blieben mir In
Only its scars are left to me
Wenn Wellen meine Spuren lecken
When waves lick away my footprints
Will ich das Salz des Windes schmecken Extremo
I want to taste the salt of the wind
Bin vogelfrei, weit von daheim
I'm free as a bird, far from home
Ein jeder Ort wird wohl besser sein Singapur
Any place will probably be better
Hab aufgebaut und reiße ein
I've built things up and torn them down
Der Große Sturm soll meiner sein Songtexte
The great storm is meant to be mine
Der Wellenschlag bezähmt mein Herz
The pounding waves tame my heart
Schmeiß über Bord den Lebensschmerz Songtext
I toss the pain of life overboard
Kein letzter Blick, kein Gruß zurück
No final glance, no greeting back
Das Leiden schwindet Stück für Stück Lyrics
The suffering fades away bit by bit
Lass mich, lass mich nie wieder los
Don't, don't ever let me go again
Lass mich, lass mich nie wieder los
Don't, don't ever let me go again
Die fernen Töne treiben mich
The distant sounds drive me on
Wie die Motte in das Licht Liedertexte
Like a moth into the light
Word meine Seele tief ergründen
Will plumb the depths of my soul
Und ich weiss ich word mich finden Liedertext
And I know I'll find myself
Lass mich, lass mich nie wieder los
Don't, don't ever let me go again
Lass mich, lass mich nie wieder los
Don't, don't ever let me go again

Singapore
Singapore
The old homeland is far away
The old homeland is far from here
Just it's scars are left to me
Only its scars are left to me
Whan waves are lapping at my footprints
When waves are lapping at my footprints
I want to taste the salt of the wind
I want to taste the salt of the wind
I'm without rights, far away from home
I'm free as a bird, far from home
Just any place, would surly be better
Any place at all would surely be better
Have build up, and throw down
I've built things up and torn them down
The great storm shall be my own
The great storm will be mine
The waves lapping calms my heart
The pounding of the waves calms my heart
Throws over board the pains of life
I toss the pain of life overboard
No last look, no salute back
No final glance, no greeting back
The pain is fading, piece by piece
The pain fades away, piece by piece
Don't let me, don't let me ever go
Don't, don't ever let me go
Don't let me, don't let me ever go
Don't, don't ever let me go
The far sound are drawing me
The distant sounds are pulling me along
Like the moth into the light
Like a moth into the light
Will look deep inside my soul
Will plumb the depths of my soul
And I know, I'll find myself
And I know I'll find myself
Don't let me, don't let me ever go
Don't, don't ever let me go
Don't let me, don't let me ever go
Don't, don't ever let me go

Did you like this lyrics translation?
vogelfrei — outlawed / without rights
Vogelfrei literally translates to "bird-free" but historically means "outlawed" or "without rights". It's a fascinating and somewhat archaic term that evokes a sense of being completely unbound and unprotected.
In the context of "Singapur", the narrator sings "Bin vogelfrei, weit von daheim" (I'm outlawed, far from home). This word powerfully conveys a feeling of rootlessness and freedom, but also a certain vulnerability, as if they are outside the protection of society, much like a bird in the open sky.
