Appearing at the height of the disco boom and following on the heels of other German-produced bands such as Boney M., Arabesque, and Silver Convention, the band achieved wide popularity throughout the world, especially in Europe, Russia, and Japan, though they went wholly unnoticed in the United States. Their songs invariably were themed on historical figures and exotic cultures and locales.
Though the group broke up in the mid-1980s, it has enjoyed a recent resurgence in popularity on the internet due to a video of them performing their hit song Moskau being discovered. The video and the song associated with it have become a popular topic on blogs and websites.
The original members of the group were:
* Steve Bender (1942-2006)
* Wolfgang Heichel
* Henriette Heichel
* Leslie Mándoki
* Edina Pop
* Louis Hendrik Potgieter (1951-1993)
The band re-formed in late 2005, with Stefan Track replacing Potgieter as the "Khan" character. They performed at the Olympiyski Arena in Moscow on October 17, 2005. On May 7th, 2006, Steve Bender (the member famous for his bald appearance) died of cancer.
The band, now under the name "The Legacy of Dschinghis Khan", has a tour scheduled for Winter 2006 - Fall 2007. In the tour, their show will consist of "Cirque du Dschinghis Khan", featuring other performers, including Mongolian circus acts. Their announced dates are listed on the official website of the group and are subject to change. Their planned German national tour dates in January 2007 will coincide with the release of their latest as-of-yet untitled LP and DVD. It will be their first release since 1999's "Die Großen Erfolge".
Their songs appear in the video games Taiko No Tatsujin, Pop'n Music, and Stepping Selection.
Rom
Dschinghis Khan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Zwischen Frieden und Gewalt,
Zwischen Zukunft und Vergangenheit.
Rom, große Stadt am Tiberstrom,
Wo die Lust am Leben wohnt,
Und wo jeder Stein Geschichte schreibt.
Ausgesetzt und um den Thron betrogen
Romulus und Remus, die zwei Brüder,
Bauten eine Stadt auf sieben Hügeln.
Roma, Roma, Romulus schlug seinen Bruder tot.
Roma, Roma, Stadt aus Stein und Blut.
Rom, oft erobert und verloren.
Rom, Hannibal stand vor den Toren.
Rom, Kaiser, Päpste, Gladiatoren,
Das war Rom.
Rom, wilde Wagenrennen.
Rom, Nero sah dich brennen.
Immer schon gab's Kampf um Rom.
Rom, Caesar musste sterben.
Rom, lag in Schutt und Scherben
Und blieb doch auf ewig Rom.
Rom, do bist heut' so stolz wie einst,
Es wird regnen, wenn do weinst,
Wenn do lachst, erklingen Lieder.
Rom, Filmkulisse bist do heut',
Und der Traum aus Zelluloid,
Ist der Spiegel deiner Seele.
Rom Rom, zwischen Zukunft und Vergangenheit.
Rom, dort wo jeder Stein Geschichte schreibt.
Rom, wo ein Fremder gern für immer bleibt,
Dort ist Rom, Rom, Rom.
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma,
Che bellissima città
Roma, Roma, Roma, Roma,
Che bellissima città

Lalalalalalala

Hallo Leute ! Eines von vielen Belegen, wie toll die damalige Musik war - und wie K A C K E sie heute ist !!! In den Neunzigern begann ''Musik'' zu siechen - heute ist sie t o t :'( ! AMEN

Sehr schöner Song von Dschinghis Khan, vom Anfang bis zum Ende. Hat leider viel zu wenig Klicks. Ich hatte damals in den 80er als Kind die Original Musikkasette zum Geburtstag geschenkt bekommen mit dem ganzen Album. Ist jetzt 40 Jahre her, wie die Zeit vergeht.
