Als Es Passierte Lyrics in English Paula

Picture a cinematic moment in stop motion: the clock ticks, the sun climbs, and our storyteller is frozen in suspense. In “Als Es Passierte” (“When It Happened”), Paula invites us into a single, nerve-jangling day where everything hinges on one phone call. Morning light exposes the ugliness of the world, but by noon the mood flips. The long-awaited ring finally arrives, and with it come Antwort (an answer) and Erlösung (deliverance). What looked like a “dark, foreign future” melts away, and the singer feels instantly back zu Hause—safe at home—because the feared departure never took place.

The song plays with contrasts: bright sun versus inner dread, unbearable waiting versus sudden relief. Each repetition of the chorus underlines how quickly life can pivot from anxiety to joy once the right words are spoken. It is a hopeful reminder that even on a “loveless, empty morning,” luck can be just one phone call away. Listen for the warm synths and the carefree “na-na-na” outro: they echo the rush of optimism that floods in the moment fear finally lifts.
