Engel wie Du
Juliane Werding Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Zeit für Traumtänzer zu fliehn
Mit dem Sommer ziehst du weiter
Nach irgendwohin
Les cygnes sauvages s'en vont
Quelques plumes abandonnées
Rien ni personne ne pourra
Engel wie du sind der Sonne zu nah
Ein Engel wie du kommt hier unten nicht klar
Les anges comme toi
Volent toujours dans la lumière
Même dans les éclairs
We were living in a daydream
Shadow dancing with the sun
Always searching for our rainbow
Then you had gone
You had gone
Engel wie du sind der Sonne zu nah
Ein Engel wie du kommt hier unten nicht klar
Angel with you
I will ride on the wind
And my life will begin
Und du sagst: "Komm doch einfach mit
ich hab ein Haus in den Wolken"
Dans les nouages (in den Wolken)
Dans les nouages
Engel wie du volent trop près du soleil
Engel wie du ne viennent pas d'ici bas
Engel wie du fliegen immer ins Licht
Bis der Himmel zerbricht
(My spirit takes flight, ne viennent pas d'ici bas)
Engel wie du, from the dark to the light
Engel wie du, see my spirit take flight
Engel wie du volent toujours dans la lumière
Même dans les éclairs
(I will come to your heart)
Engel wie du sind der Sonne zu nah
Engel wie du sind in Sehnsuchtsgefahr
Engel wie du fliegen immer ins Licht
Bis der Himmel zerbricht
Engel wie du sind der Sonne zu nah
Engel wie du sind in Sehnsuchtsgefahr
Engel wie du...
The song "Engel wie Du" by Juliane Werding talks about the fleeting nature of love and the desire to escape reality. The first verse describes a dreamlike state where time seems to stand still, represented by the "white breath from the fields" and the need for dreamers to escape. The second verse uses the imagery of swans leaving and feathers being left behind to symbolize the impossibility of killing someone's dreams. The chorus then talks about how someone like an angel cannot handle life on earth and is always drawn to the light, even if it means flying too close to the sun. The bridge talks about the singer living in a daydream with the person they love until they were gone. The last part of the song seems to be the singer imagining the angel inviting them to come with them into the clouds, signaling a desire to escape the harsh realities of life.
Overall, the song seems to be about the human desire to escape the challenges and pains of life through romance, dreams, and fantasies. The use of angelic imagery and dreamlike scenes represents the idealized version of love that can help people escape their troubles. However, the song recognizes that this is ultimately a fleeting escape and that the harsh realities of life will return.

I wish I could such a beautiful song sung by 3 beautiful performers
floridian100
first of all, PERFECT idea to put 3 of them together.
Who's idea was it ? Bartels ? Werding ? Both ?
Juliane Werding was always deep thinking, mystical, dreamy with therapy voice that calms you down and make it all peaceful..
SAME with Maggie Reilly, very similar style and climate. Her voice takes you high over the clouds. 2 Albums produced in germany was kinda extension of her voice - intension. ( Echoes & Midnight Sun )
Victor Lazlo ´s voice match them both beautifully.
Besides, the lyrics matched everything.
