Um Den Schlaf Gebracht Lyrics in English by SONIA LIEBING
Seelentiefe is a beautiful compound word that literally translates to "soul-deep". It's not an everyday word, making it quite unique and memorable.
In the song, it's used in the phrase "Seelentiefe Blicke", meaning "soul-deep glances". This evokes a sense of profound connection and intimacy, suggesting glances that penetrate beyond the surface and touch the very essence of a person. It perfectly captures the intense emotional experience described in the lyrics.
Sonia Liebing builds this schlager song around one sleepless night. It opens on "Seelentiefe Blicke treffen dich und mich" (soul-deep gazes meet you and me), with "Dunkle Schattenspiele" (dark shadow games) and a moon that "spendiert uns Licht" (treats us to light). The singer drops into bed tired, "Ich fall' müde ins Bett" (I fall into bed tired), and is suddenly wide awake, with no idea what the other person is about to do with her.
The chorus names the problem: "Du hast mich um den Schlaf gebracht" (you've robbed me of sleep) and "Totaler Wahnsinn diese Nacht" (total madness, this night). Between the hooks she asks "Wie soll das mit uns weiter gehen" (how will this go on with us?) and then answers with a dare: "Lass uns die Erde ein Stück drehen" (let's turn the world a bit). In the second verse the room goes quiet, nobody says a word, and she feels she has arrived somewhere new: "Ich bin endlich nach langer Zeit am Ziel" (after a long time, I'm finally where I wanted to be).
