First formed at the end of 1984 (Anders was 21), they unexpectedly became immensely popular with their standalone disco hit "You're My Heart, You're My Soul", which was then followed by "You Can Win If You Want" and "Cheri, Cheri Lady". They released two albums a year from 1985 to 1987 while also promoting their singles on television all over Europe. After splitting up in 1987, the duo reunited in 1998, at first only testing the waters with new versions of hit singles and again reaching the top of the charts unexpectedly. Bohlen and Anders split again in 2003 due to irreconcilable disagreements (they had never been friends in the first place). Thomas Anders started another solo career immediately, while Bohlen had by now begun devoting most of his time to new talents, especially those he discovered on the German edition of the TV show Pop Idol/American Idol.
Global sales of Modern Talking records were 120 million units, according to BMG in June 2003, and they have become the biggest-selling German music act in history, so far outselling even Frank Farian's projects Boney M and Milli Vanilli, Michael Cretu's Enigma, Sandra, the Scorpions, Snap! and Rammstein.
Modern Talking were successful in Europe, Asia, South America and some African countries. In the United Kingdom they reached the top ten only once with the song "Brother Louie" (in 1986, #4 UK). They did not feel very good about promoting their singles there due to being marketed in England as a gay group like Erasure and Culture Club. Indeed, in the UK "Brother Louie" is regarded by those who remember it as nothing more than a novelty record by a one-hit wonder.
They were almost unknown in North America by mainstream standards, never appearing in the charts there, and due to lack of backing from a record company and lack of time did not go there to promote their music. Composer Dieter Bohlen employed mood-evoking lyrics and intellectually-designed, synthesizer-based music which was out of vogue in the U.S. before Modern Talking even formed.
In 2006 Bohlen included a secret message in his song "Bizarre Bizarre" which was played backwards: "There will never be an end to Modern Talking". However, Bohlen said "he meant to say that the music of Modern Talking will live forever" [4]. Anders has kept the Modern Talking songs in his repertoire and produced songs in a similar vein for his solo records ("Independent Girl"). In 2006 he produced an album of Swing and Jazz versions of popular songs (including Modern Talking's first hit). Bohlen has written two autobiographical books, one of which also detailed Modern Talking's history from his perspective, and sold a million copies in Germany. The sequel was heavily criticised for his unfairness towards the people he worked with. As a result of that, he withdrew from the public for a year until 2006, when he said he regretted putting out the second book. Anders had not been the only one pressing charges against Bohlen and demanding that sections of the book be modified.

Modern Talking Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What can I do, words not enough
I'm lost in space, I'm lost in you
Oh my babe, what can I do?
I'm lost in your eyes, in your disguise
Oh you can run but you can't hide
I'm lost in space, I'm lost in you
Oh my babe, what can I do?
Fly to the moon
I'm coming soon
I swear to you
My baby blue
Fly to the moon for your sweet love
What can I do can't turn it off
I die for you and your sweet love tonight
We two are one and I'm still here
Together strong, don't disapear
I'm lost in space, I'm lost in you
Oh my babe what can I do
Don't tell me lies under the sky
Where we had love, don't say goodbye
I'm lost in space, I'm lost in you
Oh my babe, what can I do
The lyrics of "Fly to the Moon" by Modern Talking depict a person who is deeply in love and cannot get enough of their partner. They feel lost in this love and in the space of their partner's affection, unable to find their way out. The use of space as a metaphor for the depth and magnitude of their love is very effective, conveying the idea that the love between the two people is immense and all-encompassing. The singer is willing to do anything for their partner, even willing to die for their love.
The chorus, "Fly to the moon, I'm coming soon, I swear to you my baby blue," is an expression of devotion and commitment to the partner. The singer is ready to go anywhere and do anything for the person they love. The repetition of the phrase, "I'm lost in space, I'm lost in you, oh my babe what can I do," emphasizes the singer's powerlessness in the face of this all-consuming love.
Overall, "Fly to the Moon" is a beautiful expression of the intense and all-consuming nature of love. The lyrics convey a sense of hopelessness and surrender to the overwhelming power of love, making it a relatable and touching song for anyone who has ever felt truly in love.

Fly to the moon
Долечу до луны
I'm lost in you, I'm lost in love
Я растворился в тебе, я потерялся в любви,
What can I do, words not enough
Что сделать я могу, слов не хватает.
I'm lost in space, I'm lost in you
Я заблудился в пространстве, я растворился в тебе,
Oh my babe, what can I do?
О, моя детка, что мне делать?
I'm lost in your eyes, in your disguise
Я растворился в твоих глазах, в твоем облике,
Oh you can run but you can't hide
О, ты можешь бежать, но тебе не скрыться.
I'm lost in space, I'm lost in you
Я заблудился в пространстве, я растворился в тебе,
Oh my babe, what can I do?
О, моя детка, что мне делать?
Fly to the moon
Лечу к луне.
I'm coming soon
Я спешу к тебе,
I swear to you
Я клянусь,
My baby blue
Моя грустная девочка.
Fly to the moon for your sweet love
Я поднимаюсь до луны от твоей прекрасной любви,
What can I do can't turn it off
Что мне делать, я не могу не любить тебя.
I'll die for you and your sweet love tonight
Я умру ради тебя и твоей прекрасной любви сегодня.
We two are one and I'm still here
Мы двое, как одно целое, и я останусь с тобой,
Together strong, don't disapear
Вместе мы сильнее, не исчезай.
I'm lost in space, I'm lost in you
Я заблудился в пространстве, я растворился в тебе,
Oh my babe what can I do
О, моя детка, что мне делать?
Don't tell me lies under the sky
Не лги мне под этим небом,
Where we had love, don't say goodbye
Где мы любили друг друга, не говори: «Прощай».
I'm lost in space, I'm lost in you
Я заблудился в пространстве, я растворился в тебе,
Oh my babe, what can I do
О, моя детка, что мне делать?
Fly to the moon
Лечу к луне.
I'm coming soon
Я спешу к тебе,
I swear to you
Я клянусь,
My baby blue
Моя грустная девочка.
Fly to the moon for your sweet love
Я поднимаюсь до луны от твоей прекрасной любви,
What can I do can't turn it off
Что мне делать, я не могу не любить тебя.
I die for you and your sweet love tonight
Я умру ради тебя и твоей прекрасной любви сегодня.
