Anderthalb Sommer Lyrics in English by Jupiter Jones
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Anderthalb Sommer by Jupiter Jones from German to English.
Die Straße klebt vor Hitze
The street is sticky with heat
Und du ritzt in den Asphalt
And you scratch into the asphalt
Ich werde alt
I'm getting old
Und nie zufrieden sein
And will never be satisfied
Denn irgendwas ist falsch
Because something is wrong
Das bleibt so
That's how it stays
Du kannst es nicht erklären doch du weißt
You can't explain it but you know
Das ist so
That's how it is
Du musst es nicht erklären
You don't have to explain it
In Hamburg gibt es Regen
In Hamburg there's rain
Und in Münster gibt es Regen
And in Münster there's rain
Und in dir ist ständig Regen
And inside you there's constant rain
Denn du machst ja nichts dagegen
Because you're not doing anything about it
Muss wohl sein
It must be
Das bleibt so
That's how it stays
Ob schleichen oder trampeln du wirst nass
Whether creeping or stomping you'll get wet
Das ist so
That's how it is
Am schönsten ist die Chance, die du verpasst
The best is the chance you miss
I'm on my rooftop screaming
I'm on my rooftop screaming
Und das hält mich zusammen
And that holds me together
And my heart's still beating
And my heart's still beating
Und irgendwer singt leise
And someone sings softly
Daylight licked me into shape
Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep für days
I must have been asleep for days
Und davon bin ich aufgewacht
And from that I woke up
Aus meinem Traum von Stillstand letzte Nacht
From my dream of stagnation last night
Die Straße glänzt vor Kälte
The street gleams with cold
Und du machst auf Don Quijote
And you act like Don Quixote
Gegen den Trott
Against the rut
Die Windmühlen kotzen Blei
The windmills puke lead
Und alles schimmert fahl
And everything gleams faintly
Zurücksehnen
Longing for the past
Der nächste Sommer wird gleich anderthalb
The next summer will soon be one and a half
Nach vorn sehen
Looking forward
Im nächsten Sommer alles anderthalb
In the next summer everything one and a half
I'm on my rooftop screaming
I'm on my rooftop screaming
Und das hält mich zusammen
And that holds me together
And my heart's still beating
And my heart's still beating
Und irgendwer singt leise
And someone sings softly
Daylight licked me into shape
Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep für days
I must have been asleep for days
Und davon bin ich aufgewacht
And from that I woke up
Aus meinem Traum von Stillstand letzte Nacht
From my dream of stagnation last night

anderthalb — one and a half
Anderthalb literally translates to "one and a half". It's a somewhat unusual and specific numerical term that isn't commonly found in song lyrics, making it stand out.
In the context of the song, the phrase "Der nächste Sommer wird gleich anderthalb" (The next summer will be one and a half) suggests an extended, perhaps more intense or hopeful, future. It implies a desire for more than just a single summer, hinting at longing and anticipation for a prolonged period of change or happiness.
