And now we're going to Berlin
We heard that remix that we never found again
And I'mma trying to get in
And when the fairy just went to the back again
Under the world in the city lights
Next to the street we stay up all night

Don't know where we going, don't know where we going, going, going all night

In Berlin
In Berlin
In Berlin
Don't know where we going, going, going all night
In Berlin
Don't know where we going, going, going all night

And now we're going to Berlin
We heard that remix that we never found again
And I'mma trying to get in
And when the fairy just went to the back again
Under the world in the city lights
Next to the street we stay up all night

Don't know where we going, don't know where we going, going, going all night

The song opens with the singer's pursuit of a remix that they had heard before but had never been able to find again. The lyrics that follow outline the wild, electric, and hectic nature of Berlin's nightlife, with the singer trying to get into a club or bar and their companion, most likely, looking out for them.

The chorus, where the singer repeatedly sings "don't know where we're going, going, going all night, in Berlin," can be interpreted as an acceptance and even celebration of the unique unpredictability of the city. "In Berlin" is then repeated throughout, emphasizing how the setting is a unique and essential component of the experience being described. The song concludes with the singer proclaiming that they've found love, perhaps referring to a newfound connection made in Berlin and the excitement, thrill, and love that comes with visiting or living in the city.

Overall, the song brings out the energy and vibrancy of Berlin's nightlife, the elation of being lost in the city and its culture while implicitly suggesting that one can also find themselves in its midst.

And now we're going to Berlin
We are traveling to Berlin at this moment

We heard that remix that we never found again
We listened to a remix track in the past that we cannot find again

And I'mma trying to get in
I am trying to gain entry

And when the fairy just went to the back again
When the transport service went to the rear end again

Under the world in the city lights
Beneath the city's bright lights and landscapes

Next to the street we stay up all night
Beside the roadway where we stay up all through the night

Don't know where we going, don't know where we going, going, going all night
We are uncertain where our destination is as we move all night

In Berlin
We are in Berlin

I found loooooove
I discovered love

I found you, loooooove
I discovered you, love

Found you loooooove
I found you, love
