Musik Sein Lyrics in English Wincent Weiss

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Musik Sein by Wincent Weiss from German to English.

What a night

Woke up with a pounding head

Pour the coffee in slow motion into the glass

'Cause if you want you can still stay

An uneasy silence follows

You close the door, it goes quiet, I watch you leave

And with you trumpets, violins and choirs

Something against the silence here

Then timpani beats on drum rolls

And a soft piano

there should be music

everywhere you are

'cause when it's most beautiful

play it over and over

there should be music

wherever you are

'cause when it's most beautiful

and when it's most beautiful

The last time at the sea

Half an eternity ago already

I pack my best stuff and the essentials

finally out of our hometown

It's getting smaller in the mirror

and just ahead the salt water kisses the sand

and with us trumpets, violins and choirs

Something against the silence here

Then timpani beats on drum rolls

And a soft piano

there should be music

everywhere you are

and when it's most beautiful

play it over and over

there should be music

wherever you are

'cause when it's most beautiful

play it over and over

play them over and over

over and over

play it over and over

there should be music

when we fall in love

when life knocks us down

when we're drunk with joy

shouldn't there be music

there should be music

wherever you are

and when it's most beautiful

play it over and over

there should be music

wherever you are

even when it's most beautiful

and when it's most beautiful

play it over and over

over and over

play it over and over

there should be music

SONG MEANING

“Musik Sein” is Wincent Weiss’s joyful reminder that every great moment deserves its own soundtrack. The song jumps from a groggy, coffee-slow morning after an epic night to the awkward hush when someone special slips out the door, and Weiss fills those gaps with an imaginary orchestra—trumpets, strings, pounding drums, and a soft piano—because silence feels wrong when emotions are so loud.

Next he packs his best friends for a spontaneous road-trip to the sea, letting the crash of waves blend with the beat. The hook da müsste Musik sein (there should be music) rings out like a mantra: whether we are falling in love, getting knocked over by life, or feeling drunk on happiness, music should follow us everywhere, replaying our brightest memories again and again. The song celebrates how melodies turn everyday scenes into cinematic highlights and invites listeners to press play on their own adventures.
