747 [English translation]

Ey

I don't know why, but baby, I can't stand still 1

I hang around, but believe me, I see you suffering

I know that you wanna go home with me

I know that you're longing for a break

I don't know why, but something pulls me in front of the door

It won't let me go, I constantly need to get away from here

And how can I prove it to you?

I come back, I fly in circles

When I take off again, then

does everything first become loud and later light blue

When I take off again

Like a 747

I need to fly, fly, fly

Over mountains, over the ocean

Three thousand feet and higher

Like a 747

I need to fly, fly, fly

Through the clouds, through the storm

In between, I kiss the ground

Ey

I don't know where, but it doesn't matter

I love the journey

And is that not the meaning? To know how it tastes, this life

With all its neon-bright colours

With all its light and dark days

I don't know when yet, but I'll come home one day

And believe me, Baby I'll be happy then

With all the places in my head then

As my last stop, I'll fly to you

When I take off again, then

does everything first become loud and later light blue

When I take off again

Like a 747

I need to fly, fly, fly

Over mountains, over the ocean

Three thousand feet and higher

Like a 747

I need to fly, fly, fly

Through the cloud, through the storm

In between, I kiss the ground, ey

Like a 747

I need to fly, fly, fly

Over mountains, over the ocean

Three thousand feet and higher

Like a 747

I need to fly, fly, fly

Through the cloud, through the storm

In between, I kiss the ground, ey

1. "Stehen bleiben" is a little tricky to translate, it can also be "to stop". In the context and in tune with the airplane metaphor, Forster means to say that he can't remain grounded
