Au Revoir Lyrics in English Mark Forster , Sido

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Au Revoir by Mark Forster from German to English.
In this house where I live
Everything here is so familiar
So sickeningly familiar
Man, every day's the same
I keep circling my pond
I just wanna get outta here
I need more space and fresh air
I gotta get somewhere else fast
Or I'll grow stuck here
I dive headfirst through the door
I leave everything behind
I've got something big in my sights
I'm never coming back to me
There's nothing that holds me, au revoir
Forget who I was
Forget my name
It'll never be like it was
I'm gone
Au-au, au-au
Au revoir
Au-au, au-au
Au revoir
Au revoir
Au-au, au-au
Au revoir
Goodbye, see you never
I've packed my stuff, I'm heading out
Otherwise it'll always stay just a dream for me
I need freedom, I'm going traveling
I'll do everything I missed
I'll ride an inflatable boat all the way to Alaska
I'll jump into the cold water in Singapore
I'll head for the wide open and refuel there
I see places others never heard of
I feel like Humboldt or Steve Irwin
I sit on the Maya throne in the jungle
On the trail of Messner, Indiana Jones
The phoenix is taking off now
Au revoir my friends, take care
I say goodbye to the old life
Monkey's dead, lid shut
Like the kids in India, I'm making a shoe
There's nothing that holds me, au revoir
Forget who I was
Forget my name
It'll never be like it was
I'm gone
Au-au, au-au
Au revoir
Au-au, au-au
Au revoir
Au revoir
Au-au, au-au, au-au
Music
There's nothing that holds me, au revoir
Au revoir
Au-au
Au revoir
It'll never be like it was
I'm gone
Au-au, au-au
Au revoir
Au-au, au-au
Au revoir
Au revoir
Au-au, au-au
Au revoir
Au-au

SONG MEANING

"Au Revoir" is a big, bright goodbye to the boredom of everyday life. Mark Forster opens the song pacing through a house that feels too familiar: every corner, every routine is “so zum Kotzen vertraut” (so sickeningly familiar). Longing for “fresh wind,” he day-dreams of a head-first dive through the door and refuses to look back. The repeated French phrase au revoir (“goodbye”) turns into a rallying cry to forget his old name, leave the safe little pond, and chase something larger than life.

Sido’s guest verse cranks the adventure meter to the max. He packs his bags, hops in a rubber boat to Alaska, plunges into Singapore’s waters, and compares himself to explorers like Humboldt and Indiana Jones. Each destination is a symbol of Freiheit and self-reinvention, proving that the only way to grow is to cut the anchor rope. With its upbeat pop-rap energy and catchy chorus, the song invites listeners to shut the door on stagnation, fuel up on courage, and shout their own “Au Revoir” to anything that holds them back.
