Absolute love, all or nothing, none or you,
that does not exist anymore
and Brangelina, my parents and your ideals,
they are not around anymore.
Eternal flames went out long ago
the old songs, everything such a long time ago
and you stand here, trying to hope, she comes back.
You too, can't make it anymore.
The love is dead, long live love
We hold it up, long live love
The love is dead, long live love
We don't need it - that would be a lie.
Play me the song of love
without the stereotypes, without those lies,
what is left of it?
We know each other from Tinder, everybody free, as never before, polyamory, what's left of it?
1001 bedtime stories, 1000 princes
Who makes us happy now?
When we find faith, love, hope inside of us, then everything is possible.
The love is dead, long live love
We hold it up, long live love
The love is dead, long live love
We don't need it - that would be a lie.
Absolute love, all or nothing, none or you,
It does not exist anymore.
The love is dead, long live love
We hold it up, long live love
The love is dead, long live love
We don't need it - that would be a lie.
Long live love
Long live love
Long live love
We don't need it - that would be a lie.
I'm not German, but I tried to make this translation to the best of my translation ability. A lot of it is interpretation. I fear my pronoun usage and translation wasn't overwhelmingly good, but I did the best I could.
Any corrections or suggestions are much appreciated.
