Liebe Ist... Lyrics in English Namika , Zaz

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Liebe Ist... by Namika from French to English.
Until when is one in love
(German)
And when is it love?
(German)
And are those not felt
(German)
The same feelings?
(German)
I just can't figure it out
(German)
Despite all efforts
(German)
I don't get it
(German)
That I don't get it
(German)
I tried it with Google
(German)
Studied academic articles
(German)
Meditated on a lonely mountain
(German)
Philosophized endlessly
(German)
I'm still confused
(German)
Tell me, is anyone here
(German)
Just like me?
(German)
How do I know that it is love?
(German)
I don't understand my feelings
(German)
I asked everywhere
(German)
'You'll notice it then'
(German)
They said
(German)
How do I know that it is love?
(German)
The books don't reveal that to me
(German)
But I'll give it a try
(German)
When I know, I'll let you know
(German)
Like you, I sometimes wonder
If love is just a sad dream
Is it the scent or the grain of the voice
That makes our heartbeats rise?
When bodies embrace
Hearts kiss
Life ignites and everything starts again
Yes, but
Our feelings are like those clouds
That dress in fear or hope
You know
So many questions arise
And time reminds me
That it is urgent, my beautiful
To love each other
Inside, the Eden
A garden for oneself
A cry from the heart
That seeks to express itself
How do I know that it is love?
I don't understand my feelings
I asked everywhere
'You'll notice it then'
They said
How do I know that it is love?
The books don't reveal that to me
But I'll give it a try
When I know, I'll let you know
Me, I want to love with all sails out
In the open air, to the sweet sound of chords
No matter the joys, the pains
To love where the wind takes me
Me, I want to love with all sails out
In my heart like desires for more
Laughing in the face of chrysanthemums
To love where the wind takes me
How do I know that it is love?
I don't understand my feelings
But I'll give it a try
It can't be that hard

SONG MEANING

Liebe Ist… is a playful, bilingual quest for answers to the oldest question in the book: Is this just a crush or is it the real thing? Namika’s German verses list every modern trick for decoding emotions—Google searches, academic papers, mountain retreats—yet she is still none the wiser. Zaz then sweeps in with poetic French lines, comparing feelings to shifting clouds that can cloak themselves in fear or hope. Their back-and-forth shows that, whether you speak German or French, love remains delightfully mysterious.

Instead of handing us a tidy definition, the song invites us to stop overthinking and feel. The chorus admits that books offer no clues and friends can only say “You’ll just know,” so why not hoist the sails and let the wind decide, as Zaz sings? With its upbeat groove and humorous self-doubt, “Liebe Ist…” celebrates the messy, exhilarating moment when you choose to trust your heart—even if you still can’t explain how love really works.
