    Default Christina Stürmer - Alles Anders

    Hello

    This is a song she sang on Starmania. I like it a lot. If I have made any mistakes in the translation I would appreciate any help to correct it.

    Christina Stürmer - Alles Anders
    Christina Stürmer - Everything different

    So anders
    Fühl mich irgendwie geküsst
    vielleicht liegts ja doch nur am Sommer
    kann es sein
    dass du es bist
    manchmal macht die Schwerkraft urlaub
    und das find ich wunderbar
    irgendwas ist heute anders
    anders

    So different
    (I) feel somehow kissed
    Maybe this happens because it's summer
    It may be
    that it is you
    sometimes that makes gravity go away
    and I find it wonderful
    something is different today
    different




    Und wie kann
    und wie soll
    und wie müsste
    ich das verstehn
    alles ist anders
    willst du mich
    willst du nicht
    willst du mir bloß den Kopf verdrehn
    alles ist anders
    wenn man Dinge sieht
    die's garnicht gibt
    ist man paranoid
    oder bloß verliebt

    And how can
    and how should
    and how must
    I understand
    everything is different
    do you want me
    do you not
    Maybe you want to turn me upside down
    Everything is different
    If you see things
    that aren’t there
    Are you paranoid
    or just in love




    Manchmal kommt nach Sonntag
    Sonntag
    und die Sonne lacht mich an
    manchmal gibts zum Frühstück
    Träume
    und ich kann ganz deutlich sehn
    irgendwas ist heute anders

    Sometimes after Sunday comes
    Sunday
    And the sun laughs at me
    Sometimes for breakfast
    dreams
    And I can clearly see
    Something is different today




    Und wie kann
    und wie soll
    und wie müsste
    ich das verstehn
    willst du mich
    willst du nicht
    willst du mir bloß den Kopf verdrehn
    alles ist anders
    wenn man Dinge sieht
    die's garnicht gibt
    ist man paranoid
    oder bloß verliebt

    And how can
    and how should
    and how must
    I understand
    do you want me
    do you not
    Maybe you want to turn me upside down
    Everything is different
    If you see things
    that aren’t there
    Are you paranoid
    or just in love

    vielleicht liegts ja doch nur am Sommer
    Perhaps yes but only in summer

    better: maybe this happens because it´s summer


    willst du mir bloß den Kopf verdrehn
    Do you want me merely to turn heads

    better: maybe you want to turn me upside down


    "den Kopf verdrehen" means to make somebody to fall in love, I guess "turn uspide down" is the english translation for it.


    This just very very short from my side, I have to go to work!

    Have a nice day, Tahira

    Hi Tahira

    Thanks for your help.

    willst du mir bloß den Kopf verdrehn
    Do you want me merely to turn heads

    I was thinking this meant: Do you want me only as a trophy to turn other people's heads.
    When I was trying to figure this one out I almost went with "Do you want merely to turn my head" meaning are you trying to get me interested in you. I don't know if that would be as strong a meaning as making someone fall in love.
    I added your suggestions to the text. Thanks again

    I had another thought, do you think it could mean " Do you just want to mess with my head "as in just play games and confuse me"? It seems that would be consistent with two lines preceeding it.



    I hope you have a nice day also, Macbard
