1. to us/Andreas Bourani
2014
Who freezes this moment for us
It couldn't be better
Think of the days that lie behind us
How long we've been sharing joy and tears
Here everyone goes through fire for everyone
We are never alone in the rain
And as long as our hearts guide us
it will always be so.
Cheers to what lies ahead
That there is the best for us
Cheers to what unites us
To this time (to this time)
Cheers to us (us)
To this life
To the moment
That always remains
Cheers to us (us)
To now and forever
To one day
Infinity
We have wings, swear to each other
eternal fidelity
Gild us this day
(...) (One Love) A lifetime without regrets
From the first step to the grave
Cheers to what lies ahead
That there is the best for us
Cheers to what unites us
To this time (To this time)
Cheers to us (us)
To this life
To the moment
That always remains
Cheers to us (us)
To now and forever
To one day
Infinity (infinity)
A firework display of endorphins
A firework display moves through the night
So many lights have remained
A moment that makes us
makes us immortal
Makes us immortal
Uuuuh...
Cheers to what lies ahead
That there is the best for us
Cheers to what unites us
To this time (to this time)
Cheers to us (us)
To this life
To the moment
That always remains
Cheers to us (us)
To now and forever
To one day
Infinity
Cheers to us
(A firework display of endorphins)
Cheers to us
(A firework display moves through the night)
Hurray for us
(So many lights have remained)
Here's to us!
2nd Major Tom/Peter Schilling
1982
Thoroughly checked
she stands there
waiting for the start
All clear
Experts argue about
over a few pieces of data
the crew still has
a few questions
but
the countdown is running
Effectiveness
determines the action
one relies blindly
on the other
everyone knows exactly
what depends on them
everyone is under stress
but Major Tom
makes a joke
then he takes off and
Completely detached
from the earth
the spaceship floats
completely weightless
The force of gravity
is overcome
everything runs perfectly
for hours
scientific
experiments
but what use are they
in the end thinks
Major Tom thinks
In the control center
they panic
the course of the capsule
is not correct
"Hello Major Tom
Can you hear
do you want to destroy the project
destroy it like this"
but
he can't hear anything
He floats on
Completely detached
from the earth
the spaceship floats
completely weightless
The earth shimmers blue
its last radio comes
my wife greets me
and it falls silent
Down below still mourn
the egoists
Major Tom thinks to himself
if they only knew
a light guides me here
through the universe
You don't know that yet
I'm coming soon
I'm getting cold
Completely detached
from the earth
the spaceship floats
weightless (2x)
Completely detached
from the earth
the spaceship floats
completely weightless
Loooooooooos (3x)
3. 99 balloons/Nena
1983
Do you have some time for me,
I'll sing a song for you,
of 99 balloons
on their way to the horizon.
Are you thinking about me right now?
Then I'll sing a song for you
about 99 balloons
and that something like this comes from something like this.
99 balloons, on their way to the
horizon,
were thought to be UFOs from outer space,
so a general sent
a squadron of pilots after them
To sound the alarm, if it were so!
But there on the horizon
only 99 balloons.
99 jet planes,
each one was a great warrior,
thought they were Captain Kirk;
There was a big fireworks display!
The neighbors didn't get it
and felt like they were being picked on,
while on the horizon
at 99 balloons.
(Interlude)
99 war ministers, Streichholt and
petrol cans
thought they were clever people
already sensed big prey
shouted "war" and wanted power
Man, who would have thought it?
That it would come to this
because of 99 balloons
because of 99 balloons (4x)
99 years of war left no room
room for winners,
There are no more war ministers
and no jet planes either.
Today I do my rounds
see the world in ruins.
Found a balloon
Think of yourself and let it fly.
4. 80 million/Max Giesinger
(Intro)
Where I come from
I live with a thousand people.
Twice as many in the town next door,
300,000 in the next big city
and soon four million in Berlin.
I've been alone for the last five years,
looking for the six
in the lottery.
Seven nights a week
nights a week,
like I was on a roller coaster in constant flight.
Got so far and
seen so much,
so much has happened that
we don't understand.
I don't know, but I
ask myself:
How did you find me?
One of 80 million.
Dee de dap -
Dee de dap - Ohh
Dee de dap - Ohohoh
Ey was that a coincidence, our encounter,
you were already out and
came back again.
You said "Hi!" and I was at a loss for words.
words, everything changed in an instant.
moment.
I was never good at
probability theory,
but even I figured this one out.
The chances of the two of us meeting
was close to zero
and yet here we are.
We've come so far and
seen so much,
so much has happened that
we don't understand.
I don't know, but I
ask myself:
How did you find me?
One of 80 million.
Dee de dap - Dee de dap - Ohh
Dee de dap - Ohohoh
Dee de dap - Dee de dap - Ohh
Dee de dap - Ohohoh
When we meet,
we light up like comets.
When we meet each other,
we light up like comets.
When we meet each other,
then we shine,
we shine,
we shine.
We have come so far and
seen so much,
so much has happened that
we don't understand.
I don't know, but I
ask myself:
How did you find me?
One of 80 million.
Dee de dap - Dee de dap - Ohh
Dee de dap - Ohohoh
(3x) (One of 80 million)
I don't know, but I
ask myself:
How did you find me?
One of 80 million.
5. above the clouds/Reinhard Mey
1974
Wind north-east, runway zero-three
until here I hear the engines
like an arrow it passes by
and it roars in my ears
And the wet asphalt shakes
the rain dusts like a veil
until it takes off and floats
towards the sun.
Above the clouds
freedom must be boundless
all fears, all worries, they say
remain hidden underneath and then
what seems big and important to us
would suddenly seem small and void.
I look after her for a long time,
very they climb the clouds
until the lights gradually
blur into the gray rain.
My eyes have already
lost that tiny dot
only from afar the monotonous
the hum of the engines
Above the clouds
freedom must be boundless
all fears, all worries, they say
remain hidden underneath and then
what seems big and important to us
would suddenly seem small and void.
Then everything is quiet, I leave.
Rain soaks through my jacket,
someone is drinking coffee
in the air-raid shelter
Petrol floats in the puddles
shimmering like a
rain boooooooogen
Clouds are reflected in it
I would have loved to fly with them
Above the clouds
freedom must be boundless
all fears, all worries, they say
remain hidden underneath and then
what seems big and important to us
would suddenly seem small and void.
6. days like these/the Toten Hosen
2012
I've been waiting for weeks
for this day
and dance for joy,
across the asphalt.
As if it were a rhythm,
as if it were a song,
that keeps me going,
through the streets.
Come to meet you,
to pick you up, as agreed.
At the same time,
at the same meeting point,
as last time.
Through the hustle and bustle,
of the crowd,
we make our way
the familiar route.
Along the alleyways,
to the Rhine terraces,
over the bridges,
to the music.
Where everything is loud,
where everyone is out to go crazy.
Where the others are waiting,
to take off with us
and go off.
On days like these,
you wish for infinity.
On days like these,
we still have forever,
I wish for infinity.
This is forever,
forever for today.
We will not stand still,
for a whole night.
Come I'll carry you
through the people.
Don't be afraid,
I'll take care of you.
We let ourselves drift,
dive under,
swim with the current.
Spin our circles,
never come back down,
are weightless.
On days like these,
you wish for infinity.
On days like these,
we still have forever.
In this night of nights,
that promises us so much.
Let's experience the best,
no end in sight.
No end in sight (3x)
On days like these,
you wish for infinity.
On days like these,
we still have forever.
In this night of nights,
that promises us so much.
Let's experience the best,
no end is in sight.
Let's experience the best,
no end in sight.
No end in sight.
No end in sight.
7th Dancing Queen/ABBA
1976
You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life,
See that girl,
watch that scene
Digging the Dancing Queen.
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Oh, where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come to look for a king.
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music,
Everything's fine.
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance,
You are the Dancing Queen
Young and sweet
only seventeen.
Dancing Queen, Feel the beat
from the tambourine, oh yeah.
You can dance, you can jive,
Having the time of your life, oh
See that girl watch that scene
Digging the Dancing Queen.
You're a teaser you, turn 'em on
Leave 'em burning and than you're gone
Looking out for another,
Anyone will do.
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance,
You are the Dancing Queen
Young and sweet
only seventeen.
Dancing Queen, Feel the beat
from the tambourine, oh yeah.
You can dance, you can jive,
Having the time of your life, oh
See that girl watch that scene
Digging the Dancing Queen.
...
Ahahah - Digging the Dancing Queen

8th It's My Life/Bon Jovi
2000
This ain't a song for the brokenhearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the
crowd
You're gonna hear my voice when I
shout it out loud
It's my life, it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's ... my ... life!
This is for the ones who stood their
ground
For Tommy and Gina who never
backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder, make no
mistake
Luck, it ain't enough, you've got to
make your own breaks
It's my life, it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's ... my ... life!
(INTERLUDE)
Better stand tall when they're calling
you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't
back down
It's my life, it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's ... my ... life!
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's ... my ... life!
Ode to Joy/Schiller/Beethoven
1785
Joy, beautiful spark of the gods,
Daughter of Elysium,
We enter drunk with fire,
Heavenly your sanctuary!
Your spells bind again,
What fashion strictly divides;
All men become brothers,
Where thy gentle wing dwells.
Joy is called the strong feather
In eternal nature.
Joy, joy drives the wheels
In the great world clock.
Flowers it lures from the sprouts,
Suns from the firmament,
Spheres it rolls in the spaces,
Which the seer's pipe knows not.
Joy, beautiful spark of the gods,
Daughter of Elysium,
We enter drunk with fire,
Heavenly your sanctuary!
Thy spells bind again,
What fashion strictly divides;
All men become brothers,
Where thy gentle wing dwells.
Imagine/John Lennon
1971
Imagine there's no heaven,
it's easy if you try
no hell below us
above us only sky
imagine all the people
living for today
Imagine there's no countries
it isn't hard to do
nothing to kill or die for
and no religion too
imagine all the people
living life in peace... (youhuuuuuh)
You may say I am a dreamer
but I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
and the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
no need for greed or hunger
a brotherhood of man
imagine all the people
sharing all the world... (youhuuuuuh)
You may say I am a dreamer
but I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
and the world will be as one
Imagine there's no countries
it isn't hard to do
nothing to kill or die for
and no religion too
imagine all the people
living life in peace... (youhuuuuuh)
You may say I am a dreamer
but I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
and the world will be as one
