Applaus, Applaus Lyrics in English Sportfreunde Stiller

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Applaus, Applaus by Sportfreunde Stiller from German to English.
Is my hand a fist
You open it again
And place yours in mine
You whisper carefully chosen sentences through all the noise
As if they were my sextant and compass
Applause, applause
For your words
My heart opens up
When you laugh
Applause, applause
For your way of inspiring me
Never stop doing it
I wish so much
You never stop doing it
If my world is flat
You make it round again
Show me in a gentle way
What foresight means
If I want to bang my head against the wall again
You hand me a helmet and hammer
Applause, applause
For your words
My heart opens up
When you laugh
Applause, applause
For your way of inspiring me
Never stop doing it
I wish so much
You never stop doing it
Applause, applause
Applause, applause
For your words
My heart opens up
My heart opens up
When you laugh
Applause, applause
For your way of inspiring me
Never stop doing it
I wish so much
You never stop doing it
I wish so much
you never stop

SONG MEANING

“Applaus, Applaus” is a jubilant thank-you note to that one special person who turns cloudy days into clear skies. Whenever the singer feels tense—his hand a clenched fist, his world as flat as a disc—this friend or partner steps in with gentle guidance. She opens his fist with her own hand, whispers encouraging words that serve as both sextant and compass, and even hands him a helmet and hammer when he is ready to crash head-first through life’s brick walls.

Each chorus bursts with heartfelt applause for her laughter, her wisdom, and her never-ending ability to inspire. The message is simple: keep being you, because your light pulls me through the noise and confusion. It is a song of gratitude, celebrating the everyday hero who quietly but powerfully makes another person’s world round again.
