Schiller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In deinem Sonnenschein
Du führst mich nach Haus'
An Bergen und Tälern
Und Städten vorbei
Die Sterne vergehen
Und fallen mit dir
Es tut gut dich zu spüren
Und bei dir zu sein
An diesem schönen Tag
Sag, kannst du mich sehen ?
Du bist mein Zuhaus'
Ich kann dich spüren
Bei dir bin ich geborgen
Nur du wärmst mich auf
Du bist mein Licht im weiten Ozean
Der Stern, der mich führt
Du bist die Sonne, die mir ein Lächeln schenkt
Das Licht, das mich berührt
Du bist die Sonne, der Stern der mich führt
Du bist die Heimat
Das Licht, das mich berührt
Die Welt beginnt zu glühen, in deinem Sonnenschein
Ich folge dir weiter über Meere und Seen
An Gezeiten vorbei
Ich dreh mich um dich im Zyklus der Zeit
Bei Tag und bei Nacht
Du bist die Sonne, die mir ein Lächeln schenkt
Das Licht, das mich berührt
Du bist die Sonne
Der Stern, der mich führt
Du bist die Heimat
Das Licht, das mich berührt.
Schenkst Leben und Licht an jedem neuen Tag
Mit deinem Lichterschein
Es tut gut dich zu spüren an diesem schönen Tag
Und bei dir zu sein
Du bist mein Licht im weiten Ozean
Der Stern, der mich führt
Du bist die Sonne, die mir ein Lächeln schenkt
Das Licht, das mich berührt
Du bist die Sonne
Du bist die Heimat
Du bist die Sonne
The lyrics to Schiller's song Sonne describe the feeling of being guided by the sun and feeling at home with it. The song speaks of waking up in the morning and being led by the sun through mountains, valleys, and cities. As the stars fade away, the warmth of the sun becomes palpable and comforting. The author asks if the sun can see them and speaks of the sun as their home, the only thing that can truly warm and comfort them. The song describes the sun as a guiding star, a source of light that can bring a smile to their face and touches them deeply.
The lyrics of Sonne encapsulate the human longing for a sense of belonging and the comfort of home. The sun is used as a metaphor for this feeling, suggesting that it has the power to guide us through life's ups and downs like a beacon of hope. The song acknowledges the cyclical nature of life and speaks of how the sun remains a constant companion, whether it's day or night. The lyrics use natural imagery and metaphors to convey the deep emotional connection that the author feels to the sun, describing it as a source of light, warmth, guidance, and comfort.
Overall, Schiller's Sonne is a moving reflection on the human need for a sense of belonging and the comfort that can come from finding it. The song's lyrics describe the sun in a way that is both metaphorical and literal, giving it a sense of majesty and awe that speaks to the human desire for something greater than ourselves.
