Verse 1

Hello

You're standing at my door

There's nobody else here

Except you and me

Okay, come on in first

reinkommen = come in, get it

The rest happens by itself

In room four eight three

Prechorus 1

In here, it's never really day

The light comes from the minibar

And tomorrow it won't be bright here either

Welcome to the hotel

Chorus 1

We just wanted to talk

And now you're lying here

And I'm lying beside you

Talking, talking

Verse 2

Come here

We won't be disturbed

I've already sorted that out

'Don't disturb'

No matter where we are tomorrow

The world is inside here now

Lay down again

hinlegen lie down; Hinlegen = lie down

Prechorus 2

I listen to you, I see your face

Your lips part

Please speak slowly, not too fast

Welcome to the hotel

Chorus 2

We just wanted to talk

And now you're lying here

And I'm lying beside you

Talking, talking, talking

Verse 3

Alarm at the door

The whole world calls

Everyone pulls at me

I want nobody except you

Talking, talking

Chorus 3

We just wanted to talk

And now you're lying here

And I'm lying beside you

Talking, talking

Chorus 4

We just wanted to talk

And now you're lying here

And I'm lying beside you

Talking, talking, talking

Did you like this lyrics translation?

zerren — to tug / to pull

Zerren translates to 'to tug', 'to pull', or 'to drag'. It is a highly expressive verb that implies a sense of physical strain, rough handling, or urgency, making it much stronger than the basic German word for pull (ziehen).

In the song, the lead singer complains, "Alle zerren an mir" (Everyone is tugging at me). He uses this vivid word to describe the intense pressure and demands of the outside world, contrasting it perfectly with the quiet, peaceful escape of hiding away in a hotel room.

German pop-rock band Tokio Hotel brings us a cheeky, late-night story in "Reden" (Talking). It all starts inside room 483 ("In Zimmer vier acht drei"), illuminated only by the faint glow of the mini-fridge ("Das Licht kommt aus der Minibar"). The singer invites someone in with the ultimate excuse: "Wir wollten nur reden" (We only wanted to talk). Of course, that innocent plan quickly falls apart the moment the door clicks shut, leading directly to the punchline of the chorus: "Und jetzt liegst du hier / Und ich liege daneben" (And now you are lying here, and I am lying next to you).

Beyond the hotel room romance, the track offers a neat glimpse into chaotic rockstar life. Outside the door, the rest of the world is going crazy ("Vor der Tür Alarm / Die ganze Welt ruft an" - Outside the door alarm / The whole world is calling), and people are pulling at him from every direction ("Alle zerren an mir"). Yet, he completely tunes out the noise, insisting he does not want to speak with anyone else. It is a slick, catchy track about hiding away from chaos and letting simple "conversation" turn into something much closer.
