Yvonne Catterfeld Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Die Sonne schien herein, ich hab' zurück gelacht
Es wird ein guter Tag
Ich schaue in den Spiegel, zuck' nicht nicht gleich zurück
An die Sorgen an der leeren Wand verschwend' ich keinen Blick
Das wird der beste Tag
Du bist eine Löwin, nenn mich Amazone
Heute bin ich mutig, heut halt' ich mich aus
Die Stadt legt sich in die Kurve, ich gehe gerade aus
Was für ein guter Tag
Leute kommen mir entgegen, doch ich weich' ihnen nicht aus
Ich streife durch den Dschungel
Nichts macht mir heut' was aus
Du bist eine Heldin, du bist nicht ohne
Du bist eine Löwin, nenn mich Amazone
Du bist eine Heldin, du bist nicht ohne
Du bist eine Löwin, nenn mich Amazone
Du bist eine Heldin, du bist nicht ohne
Du bist eine Löwin, nenn' mich Amazone
