Fairytale
Franziska Wiese & Alexander Rybak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I kinda liked a girl I knew
She was mine and we were sweethearts
That was then, but then it's true
I'm in love with a fairytale
Even though it hurts
'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind
Every day, we started fighting
Every night, we fell in love
No one else could make me sadder
But no one else could lift me high above
I don't know what I was doin'
When suddenly, we fell apart
Nowadays, I cannot find her
But when I do
We'll get a brand new start
I'm in love with a fairytale
Even though it hurts
'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind
I'm already cursed
She's a fairytale
Yeah
Even though it hurts
'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind
I'm already cursed

Line by Line Meaning
Years ago, when I was younger
In a distant time, during my youth
I kinda liked a girl I knew
I had a mild affection towards a girl I was acquainted with
She was mine and we were sweethearts
She belonged to me and we were deeply in love
That was then, but then it's true
That was the past, but it remains a reality
I'm in love with a fairytale
I have fallen deeply in love with an idealized fantasy
Even though it hurts
Despite the emotional pain it brings
'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind
Because I am unconcerned about losing my sanity
I'm already cursed
I am already doomed to suffer
Every day, we started fighting
Every single day, our relationship was consumed by arguments
Every night, we fell in love
But during each night, our love was reignited
No one else could make me sadder
No other person had the capacity to make me feel as sorrowful
But no one else could lift me high above
Simultaneously, no one else had the ability to elevate me to such great heights
I don't know what I was doin'
I am uncertain of my actions during that time
When suddenly, we fell apart
When unexpectedly, our relationship shattered
Nowadays, I cannot find her
In the present day, I am unable to locate her
But when I do
However, if and when I eventually do find her
We'll get a brand new start
We will have the opportunity to begin afresh
She's a fairytale
She personifies a mythical story
Yeah
Indeed, that is true
'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind
Because I am indifferent towards losing my sanity
I'm already cursed
I am already condemned to suffer

lyrics :
Years ago, when I was younger,
I kind of liked a girl I knew
She was mine and we were sweethearts
That was then, but then it´s true
I´m in love with a fairytale,
even though it hurts
Cause I don´t care if I lose my mind
I´m already cursed
Mir gefiel ein schöner junge
Ich kannte ihn seit vielen jarhrn
Er war meine erste liebe,
bevor der himmel über uns zerbrach
I don´t know, what I was doing
Suddenly, we fell apart
Endlich haben wir uns wieder
Es fühlt sich wie ein neues leben an
Wenn wir spieln, werden märchen wahr
Märchen so wie wir
Und lass uns heute für immer schwörn
Das wir uns nie verliern
You´re a Fairytale – Yeah
Even though it hurts
Cause I don´t care, if I lose my mind
I´m already cursed
