Wenn Du Tanzt Lyrics in English Von Wegen Lisbeth

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Wenn Du Tanzt by Von Wegen Lisbeth from German to English.
Verse 1
Latte art, slowly hand-brewed flat white coffee
Just coffee when you dance
Mean locusts, mangy real-estate sharks
All animals when you dance
Lutherstadt-Wittenberg, Cloppenburg, Haldensleben
All Kreuzberg when you dance
Linkin Park, Timmy Bendzko, Robin Schulz, Revolverheld
All art when you dance
Chorus 1
Close this city's schools
Because it makes no sense anymore
To pass on a worldview anymore
That already from the tiniest shake
Of your left shoulder blade
Just collapses like that
And is only rubble and ash
When you're dancing
Because that
This world doesn't collapse
Chorus 1
Is only
Thanks to your legs
Chorus 1
That this world
Doesn't collapse
Chorus 1
Is only
Thanks to your legs
Chorus 1
That this world
Doesn't collapse
Chorus 1
Is only
Thanks to your legs
Chorus 1
That this world
Doesn't collapse
Chorus 1
Is only
On your legs when you dance
Verse 2
Ackermann, Merkel, Jan Fleischhauer, Voldemort
Nice people when you dance
Slick Mac tower, high-power double octa-core
Slide rule when you dance
Double six, tiki-taka, gegenpressing, false nine
Verse 2
Up high when you dance
Stupid ex-boyfriends, sex buddies, heartbreak drama
Verse 2
All love when you dance
Chorus 2
Close this city's schools
Because it makes no sense anymore
To pass on a worldview anymore
That already from the tiniest shake
Of your left shoulder blade
Just collapses like that
And is only rubble and ash
When you're dancing
Because that
This world doesn't collapse
Chorus 2
Is only
Thanks to your legs
Chorus 2
That this world
Doesn't collapse
Chorus 2
Is only
Thanks to your legs
Chorus 2
That this world
Doesn't collapse
Chorus 2
Is only
Thanks to your legs
Chorus 2
That this world
Doesn't collapse
Chorus 2
Is only
On your legs when you dance
Thanks to your legs
Thanks to your legs

SONG MEANING

Von Wegen Lisbeth paint a witty collage of modern life: hipster coffees, scary real-estate sharks, small German towns, pop-culture icons, even Voldemort. One after another, these random references get re-labeled and softened as soon as “you” start dancing. The tune playfully suggests that your movement is so magnetic it bends reality itself – politicians become “nice people”, heartbreak turns to “all love”, and the whole noisy world feels like one cool Kreuzberg club.

Beneath the humor lies a sweet message: joy and self-expression can shake up any rigid worldview. Schools might as well close, the singer jokes, because the slightest shimmy of your left shoulder makes all the old certainties collapse into “rubble and ashes”. In other words, your dance shows how fragile, and how rewrite-able, reality really is. Far from pure escapism, the song celebrates the power we have to reimagine our surroundings – sometimes it only takes a pair of moving legs to keep the world from falling apart.
