Irgendwie, Irgendwo, Irgendwann Lyrics in English Nena

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Irgendwie, Irgendwo, Irgendwann by Nena from German to English.
In freefall through space and time
Toward infinity
Moths fly into the light
Just like you and me
Somehow someday
Somewhere the future starts
I won't wait much longer
Love is made of courage
Don't think too long
We're riding on fire wheels
Toward the future through night
Give me your hand
I'll build you a castle of sand
Somehow, somewhere, sometime
The time is ripe for a little tenderness
Somehow, somewhere, sometime
In freefall through time and space
Awake from a dream
Just a brief moment
Then the night returns
Somehow someday
Somewhere the future starts
I won't wait much longer
Love is made of courage
Don't think too long
We're riding on fire wheels toward the future through the night
Give me your hand
I'll build you a castle of sand
Somehow, somewhere, sometime
The time is ripe for a little tenderness
Somehow, somewhere, sometime
Give me your hand
I'll build you a castle of sand
Somehow, somewhere, sometime
The time is ripe for a little tenderness
Somehow, somewhere, sometime
Somehow, somewhere, sometime
Somehow, somewhere, sometime

SONG MEANING

Irgendwie, Irgendwo, Irgendwann invites us on a bold, star-lit ride toward the unknown. Nena paints love as a burst of courage that propels two dreamers forward like moths racing to the light and fire-wheels blazing through the night. The future might be distant and hazy, yet the chorus insists that it always starts somehow, somewhere, sometime—and the only ticket you need is a brave heart willing to reach out and grab another hand.

Rather than waiting for perfect conditions, the song urges listeners to live in the now: build that fragile castle of sand, share a spark of tenderness, and plunge through time and space before the moment slips back into darkness. It is a joyful anthem about trusting spontaneity, believing in possibility, and letting love set the pace toward a brighter tomorrow.
