Ich Lass Für Dich Das Licht An Lyrics in English Revolverheld

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ich Lass Für Dich Das Licht An by Revolverheld from German to English.
When we go home at night
Our lips blue from red wine
And all the way up to the corner
We share my big jacket
The sky's already dawn red
But you don't want to sleep yet
I'll get the old bikes and we'll ride to the harbor
I leave the light on for you even though it's too bright for me
I listen to records with you that I don't like
I'm quiet for you when you're too loud
I run to the kiosk for you, night or day
I leave the light on for you even though it's too bright for me
I watch bands with you that I don't like
I go with you to the worst cheesy tearjerkers
I don't care about anything, as long as you're there
I'd set my favorite records
On fire for you right away
And if it's important to you
Hitchhike all the way to Barcelona
The morning air's way too cold
And I'm slowly getting hoarse
I only see you in tunnel vision
And the city is slowly getting quieter
I leave the light on for you even though it's too bright for me
I listen to records with you that I don't like
I'm quiet for you when you're too loud
I run to the kiosk for you, night or day
I leave the light on for you even though it's too bright for me
I watch bands with you that I don't like
I go with you to the worst cheesy tearjerkers
I don't care about anything, as long as you're there
I leave the light on for you even though it's too bright for me
I listen to records with you that I don't like
I'm quiet for you when you're too loud
I run to the kiosk for you, night or day
I leave the light on for you even though it's too bright for me
I watch bands with you that I don't like
I go with you to the worst cheesy tearjerkers
I don't care about anything, as long as you're there
When we go home at night
Our lips blue from red wine
And all the way up to the corner
We share my big jacket

SONG MEANING

Ich Lass Für Dich Das Licht An paints a cozy, late-night postcard: two lovers wandering home with wine-stained lips, sharing an oversized coat, and hopping on squeaky bikes to watch the sunrise over the harbor. Every scene glows with small, relatable details—cold morning air, half-loved vinyl records, cheesy movies—that show how far the singer will go to keep the magic of the moment alive.

Beneath the charming imagery lies a universal message: real love isn’t proved by grand declarations but by the everyday compromises we happily make. From leaving the light on even when it feels blinding to enduring bands and melodramatic films we secretly dislike, the song celebrates selfless devotion. These repeated promises—“Ist mir alles egal, Hauptsache du bist da” (“Everything else is irrelevant, as long as you’re here”)—remind us that love is about putting someone else’s joy before our own, one heartfelt, ordinary gesture at a time.
