Vollmond
In Extremo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Komm schließ die Augen, glaube mir
Wir werden fliegen über's Meer
Ich bin nach deiner Liebe so krank
Die sich an meinem Blut betrank

Der Tag verschwand
do wirfst dein Kleid vom Leib
Hast dein weißes Licht mir angezündet
do mein Abendweib
Mit Wurzelhaar und Tiergesicht
Und immer werden meine Augen weit
Wenn in der Nacht
Mir solch ein Mond erscheint

Komm schließ die Augen ...

Die Bäume wachsen in den Mai
Wer will schon einsam sein
Doch heute in dem mildem Licht
Bist do so nackt und heiß
Mund an Mund die lange Nacht
Der helle Mond zieht seinen Kreis




Auf dem Boden
Da liegt dein weißes Kleid

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Vollmond" by In Extremo tell the story of two people who are deeply in love with each other. The singer asks his love to close her eyes and join him on a journey over the sea. He is sick with love and lovesick and is desperate for her love, which has already consumed him. He describes her as his evening woman, who lights up his life with her bright white light. She has roots for hair and an animal face but the singer is always amazed by her beauty. The night looks even more spectacular with a full moon lighting it up as they lay on the ground. The singer sees his lover's white dress on the ground as a testament to their love's physical expression.


The song is about the power of love, both its beauty and curse. The lyricist skillfully weaves a tale of love that has taken over two people's lives, leaving them consumed and helpless. The imagery of the full moon, nakedness, and the white dress on the ground all evoke feelings of intense love and longing.

@martin böwes The lyrics translated to english are:
Come, close your eyes--believe me!
We'll fly over the ocean!
I am so sick for your love,
Which gets drunk off of my blood!

The day disappears,
You cast your dress from your body.
You've ignited me with your white light,
You, my evening mistress--
With curly hair and a bitchin' face.
And my eyes will always be wide-open
When, in the night,
Such a moon appears for me!

Come, close your eyes--believe me!
We'll fly over the ocean!
I am so sick after your love,
Which gets drunk off of my blood!

Tree grow in May,
Who wants to be alone?
Today in the mild light
You're so naked and sexy...
Mouth-to-mouth the length of the night,
The bright moons shows its circle.
There, on the floor,
Lays your white dress!

Come, close your eyes--believe me!
We'll fly over the ocean!
I am so sick after your love,
Which gets drunk off of my blood!

Come, come, come, come!
Come, close your eyes--believe me!
We'll fly over the ocean!
I am so sick after your love,
which gets drunk off of my blood!

Russisch text:
Полнолуние
Закрой глаза, доверься мне
Лети за мной над морем вдаль
Я так болен любовью к тебе
Моею кровью она пьяна
День исчезает без следа
Ты рвешь одежду прочь
Я белым пламенем твоим охвачен
Ты - моя ночь
Взлохмаченный с звериным ликом
Зрачками жадно во мгле
ловлю в ночи
Явление моей Луны
Закрой глаза, доверься мне
Лети за мной над морем вдаль
Я так болен любовью к тебе
Моею кровью она пьяна
Цветущий мир встречает май
И горе одиноким быть
Но в тусклом свете
Дан мне миг узнать
Твой обнаженный жар
Рот в рот всю ночь
Лишь на полу луна
Рисует света круг
На белом платье на полу
Закрой глаза, доверься мне
Лети за мной над морем вдаль
Я так болен любовью к тебе
Моею кровью она пьяна
