As a german I have to say that the song hits even harder in german. The poetry in the song doesn't translate all that well into english. A very beautiful song.

[@anni1773]

Das stimmt. Man kann es nicht so ins Englische übersetzen, dass die richtige Emotion rüberbringt.

[@dusank]

I agree

[@Faygris]

I think the subtitles still did a good job

[@k4ndypaint]

na ja eigtl sind fast alle wörter in dem text 1:1 so übersetzbar ca 80 prozent. oder was genau meinst du. falls dus einsiehst solltest du auch sehen was du da genau tust. stellst dich und dein aufmerksamkeitsproblem vor grönemayers worten und auftritt. ziemlich krass eigtl

[@crushernoName]

Wie z.B "Der, die das", diese Unterscheidung gibt es im englischen nicht. Aber auch singular und plural wie "The", im alten englisch hat man deswegen auch wie in der Bibel "Thee/Thou" benutzt für singular und plural um ganz genau zu unterscheiden. Gibt es heute im englischen auch nicht mehr -> Devolutiion genau wie unsere Genetik "Genetic Entropy", nix wird besser, alles wird schlechterk, Spezies sterben aus -> 2. Lehre der Physik -> Entropy. Die Idee von Evolution das alles besser wird ist eine Okkulte Lehre und hat nix mit Wissenschaft zu tun. In Wahrheit wird alles shlechter, Spezien sterben aus usw. und nicht umgekehert.

[@entropica]

The German lyrics are even much better than the translation, so precisely describing his emotions, a true gem. What a poet.

[@marlin1708]

I remember the "premiere" of this song on a German entertainment show. It was the first appearance after his wife's death. He asked to leave the stage immediately after the performance, without the obligatory thanks to the audience for leaving. I cried like crazy and I still get a big lump in my throat when I hear that song.

[@peterdeister6158]

The show: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nn_NqZp-oLaiebM

[@lalehv2286]

Yes, I remember that too, really really well😢. It was just a few years, after my Grandmother, my Mother and my young uncle all died within 3 month and I felt him so badly😢

[@kerstinrodel502]

Ja ich erinnere mich auch daran

[@MrPixeldoc]

Yeah he left the stage cause he was upset with the TV Producers who wouldn´t let him play this song live he only sang it, Music was playback can be seen in the original video where he got his Hands of the Piano and it´s still playing.

[@helloweener2007]

Both losses were in a very short term. His brother passed on a Sunday and his wife on the following Thursday.

[@dusank]

Yeah I read about it

[@MastrcodeMusic]

The reason, why he has performed the song in front of this crowd was his 9 years old daughter. A few days, after his wife passed away, his daughter told him, he never should give up and has to continue singing.

[@katjawege6886]

It is hard not to cry while listening to this song. 😢 After his wife's death he actually did not want to come back onto stage again, but his children made him return and it seems like singing these songs onstage was some kind of therapy for him. You might enjoy "Mensch" live 2003 which he also sang in this concert. It is about the hard way back to life after such a loss and trying to enjoy life again. Watch it until the end - this will show you how much people felt with Herbert and tried to make him feel better again. Love from Germany ❤

[@m-kl8782]

His brother died on November 01.1998 of blood cancer and his wife on November 05.1998 of breast cancer. He dedicated the song to his wife

[@dfg12382]

The true magic of this song is that there are so many deeper, underlying thoughts in these lyrics - and every person will find something else they can relate to. One thing that stands out to me is the casual and unconcerned way he tells us that he considered suicide as "I'm too lazy to give up" , which to me really hints at his origin "Ruhrpott", where people are very pragmatic, familiar with the ugly and rough edges of life and never take themselves too seriously. The other would be "You never betrayed your plan for happiness", where in German, the word "verraten" can mean both "betray" or "reveal". I love that they mean two different things but both can be what he meant to say: She never revealed her plan for happiness, which elevates her to have known something we all may never know and she never betrayed her plan, never gave in to despair until the very end.

[@katharinanikol4206]

In the hole german spoken room, this exact show was very special to so many of us, everyone knew that his wife just died of cancer, his brother also died just a bit in before his wife, and he sang this song in condolences for both of them, it was extremly intense and emotional, for us older folks....

I lost my wife a few years back and this song helped me a little, though I always cry listening to it

[@dusank]

[@JamanWerSonst]

I've never felt loss like he has but it still wrecks me seeing him perform this song. He has a way with words. I mean dying sucks but imagine someone writes a song like that about you.

[@dusank]

👊👊😀

[@Expat2.0]

It took him 4 years to get back on stage after the passings and this was apparently the first song he wrote after he thought he couldn’t any more. I believe his little daughter made him promise not to stop singing. It’s a homage to his wife. The lyrics are more precise original. He really packed good memories, denial, gratitude, grief, resilience and a yes to life after loss in a couple of minutes.

[@dusank]

[@wietholdtbuhl6168]

[@marcusbaron3524]

Habe dieses Lied 2004 zum ersten mal Live in Hamburg gehört und danach noch auf vielen weiteren Konzerten.Es ist ein ganz besonderes Lied.Auf der einen Seite sehr traurig.Es soll aber auch ausdrücken, dass das Leben auch nach dem Verlust eines geliebten Menschens weiter geht.Eines der schönsten Lieder von Herbert.

[@gescheharm5881]

I always cry, still I cannot stop listening. It`s utter beauty hits me every time.

[@Apophis1966]

In 2003 I had this song played at my wife's funeral, she also battled cancer and lost (we lost).

[@anni1773]

Herbert wrote this song for his wife. I saw Herbert several times live on stage and he sang this song every time. Every fan sings this song quiet in respect to his wife but nearly everybody is crying an thinks of his loved ones passend away. My husband and I have an unspoken tradition. White Herbert sings „Ich trag dich bei mir, bis der Vorhang fällt“, we touch our hearts and think of our special persons in Heaven.

[@bayernhof1158]

Tränen sind Okay

Real men cry to this song. It's human. Grönemeyer has a song "Männer" (men), check it out...

[@highimpactcoaching]

It’s amazing to see that human emotions are universal, not German, not British, not this or that nation. We all feel grief and loss and have empathy for those who have to go through it. We love ❤

Herbert Arthur Wiglev Clamor Grönemeyer accompanied me since 1982, when I was a small child. He is the best German singer, so emotional, politically clear and mumbles his way through the world wonderfully. LOVE

[@patriciahiddings3273]

I can't see anymore Don't trust my eyes anymore Can hardly believe Feelings have changed I'm way too lazy To give up It would be too early anyway 'Cause there's always something happening We were close companions Would have died for eachother Bended the rainbow Borrowed us confidence We tried To turn around on the shot drive Nothing was too late But many things too early We've pushed eachother Through all tides Got us bogged down Loved eachother desperately We have ignored the truth Whenever possible It was a piece of heaven That you are existing You've flooded Every room with sunshine And you've reversed every frustation Into the opposite Nordic upright Your gentle kindness Your irrepressible pride Life is not fair Danced the movie In a silvery room From the golden balcony Admired the infinity Hopelessly lost in thought, drunken And everything was allowed Together in a time lapse Midsummer Night's Dream You've flooded Every room with sunshine And you've reversed every frustation Into the opposite Nordic upright Your gentle kindness Your irrepressible pride Life is not fair Your safe walk Your true poems Your cheerful dignity Your unshakable skill You've defied the fate You've never revealed Your plan of happiness Your plan of happiness I'm not leaving I've extended my deadline Another travel through time Open world I'm keeping you safe Inside my soul I'm carrying you with me Until the curtain falls I carry you with me Until the curtain falls

The song you absolutely have to listen to is "Amazing Grace" by a metal singer Dan Vasc. And not only is this song world class, he has a whole catalog of cover songs. And every single song is fantastic. Dan Vasc's passion is metal but he masters all techniques and can handle every genre, whether rock, pop with metal, even opera e.g. "Nessun Dorma". But see and hear for yourself 🤘

German language is/was also known as "the language of poets and thinkers". Some artists still use it as such... I saw a german rap song with english translation some days ago.Not a big fan of german rap myself, but the artist is my favourite german rapper, if I would have to choose. It is an older song, late 90's/early 2k's, but the lyrics seem to be timeless, sadly... 🤷🏼‍♂️ If you would like to check it out, I will add the whole name of the video. "Samy Deluxe - Weck mich auf - Official Video (English subtitles)"

I'm German. And as such, I find it sad that the German language alone is associated with a criminal regime. The truth is that the German language is almost unique in its depth, precision and emotionality. It is not for nothing that it was German romantics, writers and philosophers who shaped world history for centuries. In this song and these lyrics you can see another example of this...

"Ä, Ö. Ü" is simple to understand, its just "AE, OE, UE", thats all. Other difference In German compared to English would be that we pronounce an "I" usually like an "E". We in the German language usually use "EI / AI" if we want to pronounce it like an English "I". Of course there are always exceptions like in the English language, but thats usually the case Other letters that are different would be the "U", we usually never pronounce it like an "A" and we roll the "R", we never dont pronoucne it like in English, its always very prominent. We also pronoucne the "Z" very harsh instead of soft. Iam not a teacher, its just observation so dont take it for 100% but overall ... If you liked that song you may also like "Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight", "Mariah Carey - Hero / Without You / Endless Love" and of course Whitney Houston "I have nothing / I will always love you / When you believe" and "Celine Dion - Power of love / Immortality / Dance with my Father / Its all coming back to me now / Iam alive. Of course there are so many more but I also dont want to flood your comment section :p. You also should look into "Jon Secada - Just another Day" Iam pretty sure you will love it, it was also a nr. 1 hit. Wish you well with your channel and God bless you.
