Musical Monday, 23 May



 From time to time, not every Monday, I am going to post some of my fav songs using of course YouTube. I hope you will like them as much as I do.  This week is time for some darker stuff. Meet Falco singing "Out of the Dark".  If you feel like sharing your own fav song, grab the button above, post a song on your blog, give the link to it in comments - I will visit you for sure!


Ich krieg von dir niemals genug 
Du bist in jedem Atemzug 
Alles dreht sich nur um dich 
Warum ausgerechnet ich? 
Zähl die Stunden, die Sekunden 
Doch die Zeit scheint still zu steh'n 
Hab mich geschunden, gewunden 
Laß mich gehen - was willst Du noch? 
Willst Du meine Tage zählen? 
Warum mußt Du mich mit meiner Sehnsucht quälen? 
Deine Hölle brennt in mir 
Du bist mein Überlebensexlixier 
Ich bin zerrissen 
.. 
Wann kommst Du meine Wunden küssen? 
.. 
Out of the dark 
Hörst Du die Stimme, die dir sagt 
Into the light 
I give up and close my eyes 
Out of the dark 
Hörst Du die Stimme, die dir sagt 
Into the light 
I give up and you rest your tears to the night 
Ich bin bereit, denn es ist Zeit 
Für unser'n Pakt über die Ewigkeit 
Du bist schon da, 
Ganz nah 
Ich kann Dich spür'n 
Laß mich verführ'n, laß mich entführ'n 
Heute Nacht zum letzten Mal 
Ergeben deiner Macht 
Reich mir die Hand, mein Leben 
Nenn mir den Preis 
Ich schenk' Dir gestern, heute und morgen 
Und dann schließt sich der Kreis 
Kein Weg zurück, 
Das weiße Licht rückt näher, Stück für Stück 
Will mich ergeben 
.. 
Muß ich denn sterben, 
.. 
Um zu leben? 
Out of the dark 
Hörst Du die Stimme, die dir sagt 
Into the light 
I give up and close my eyes 
Out of the dark 
Hörst Du die Stimme, die dir sagt 
Into the light 
I give up and you rest your tears to the night 
(Gitarrensolo) 
Out of the dark 
Hörst Du die Stimme, die dir sagt 
Into the light 
I give up and close my eyes 
Out of the dark 
Hörst Du die Stimme, die dir sagt 
Into the light 
I give up and you rest your tears to the night.

Rough translation of German lyrics (If I didn't get it right feel free to correct me in your comments):

I can never get enough of you 
You are in each breath 
Everything revolves around you 
Why me of all people?
 Count the hours, the seconds 
But time seems to stand still 
I've slaved away, tried to find my way out 
Leave me be! 
What else do you want, you want my days numbered 
Why must you torment me with my longing, 
Your hell burns in me 
You are my life-elixir 
I am torn 
When will you come to kiss my wounds. 
Out of the dark... 
do you hear the voice that says to you 
Into the light... 
I give up and close my eyes 
Out of the dark... 
do you hear the voice that says to you 
I give up and you waste your tears to the night 
I am ready, because it is time 
For our bond over eternity 
You are already there, quite near,
 I can feel you 
I'll let you entice me, abduct me 
In your power tonight for the last time 
Give me your hand, my life, name your price 
I give you yesterday, today and tomorrow 
Then the set closes 
No way back, the white light approaches 
Piece for piece, I want to give in, 
Must I die, In order to live? 
Out of the dark...

  1. You freaked me out at first. Thought I lost a day. :)

    Falco! I haven't heard his song in an age. Of course I have to rely on your translation to know what was said, but I like the melody!

  2. Sorry for freaking you out - after the latest blackout I post whenever I can and I don't look at the date.

    I fell in love with this song rather late - when I did my research I found out Falco had been already dead:(. So sad.

  3. I know. It seems when he died, nobody reported it. He didn't get the respect as a performer and song writer that he deserved.

  4. I definitely agree, The Red Witch. Compare it to the media circus after the death of Michael Jackson or Freddie Mercury.
