We're close, I know you
So long already and now it's happened
It was obvious how it'd end
This ain't a dream, I'm lying with you
Think I gave myself away
'Cause my eyes say
"Cloud nine, I wanna go there"
Yesterday it was written in the stars
Signs from the universe
Just saw you, but miss you already
Sun's shining on Berlin, I'll pick you up, come on, let's roll
Living fast, out day and night, that's cardio
Don't need much, some cash, some weed in my cargos
With you I'm as high as Kilimanjaro
I let go and you catch me
Fall soft, your sheets cashmere
Cheeks red, there's tension
Whole world smells like you
Everyone can know
I wanna kiss you outside
Cloud nine, I'll take you there
Count your freckles
Finally said it out loud
Hold this moment, everything's perfect like this
Sun's shining on Berlin, I'll pick you up, come on, let's roll
Living fast, out day and night, that's cardio
Don't need much, some cash, some weed in my cargos
With you I'm as high as Kilimanjaro
Sun's shining on Berlin, I'll pick you up, come on, let's roll
Living fast, out day and night, that's cardio
Don't need much, some cash, some weed in my cargos
With you I'm as high as Kilimanjaro

SONG MEANING

Feel the rush of a summer-bright love story

Imagine cruising through sun-lit Berlin with the windows down, a little cash in your pocket, some carefree swagger in your cargo pants and the one person who suddenly means everything sitting beside you. In Kilimanjaro, German artist Nina Chuba captures that electrifying moment when friendship flips into romance. Her lyrics paint snapshots of cosmic signs, stolen glances and soft landings on cashmere sheets, all while comparing the dizzying height of new love to Africa’s tallest peak. It is an ode to living fast, following gut feelings and letting the heart race like a cardio workout on the open road.

The song’s chorus becomes a mantra: sunshine over Berlin, spontaneous road-trips, minimal baggage and maximum emotion. “Wolke sieben” (cloud nine) and “so high wie Kilimanjaro” sum up a love that feels both weightless and towering. Chuba invites listeners to surrender to the moment, kiss in public, count freckles and believe that everything is perfect right now. The result is a breezy, addictive anthem that turns urban scenery into a playground for limitless affection.
