Helden [English translation]

You

If you could swim

Like dolphins

Like dolphins do

Nobody's giving us a chance

But we can win

For ever and ever

And then we'll be heroes

Just for one day

I

I will be king then

And you

You will be queen

Even though they

Seem to be invincible

We will be heroes

Just for one day

We will be ourselves

On that day

I

I think I'm dreaming this

The wall

In my back was cold

Shots rip through the air1

But we're kissing

Like nothing is happening

And shame came over them2

Oh, we can defeat them

For all times

Then we'll be heroes

Just on that day

Then we'll be heroes

Then we'll be heroes

Then we'll be heroes

Just on that day

1. The actual German is slightly off and translates literally to "Shots rip the air".2. A strange expression that does not sound very German at all. Literally "And shame fell on its side" or "on their side", depending on interpretation. A better figurative German would be "Und Scham kam über sie" or "Und Scham befiel sie" (I think the latter inspired the actual lyrics).
