Au Revoir Lyrics in English Mark Forster , Sido

Kopfsprung literally translates to "headfirst dive" or "plunge". It's a vivid and active word that immediately conjures an image of decisive, energetic action.

In the song, Mark Forster sings, "Ich mach nen Kopfsprung durch die Tür" (I'm doing a headfirst dive through the door). This isn't a literal dive, but a powerful metaphor for leaving his old, monotonous life behind with boldness and determination, embracing a new adventure without looking back. It perfectly captures the song's theme of breaking free and starting anew.

"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.
