Translation of the song Der Traum artist Marios Joannou Elia
Der Traum
The Dream
Das Automobil...
The automobile ...
Mit dir in diesen Sphären zu verkehren
To associate with you in these spheres
Ist ein Privileg, das du erschaffst
Is a privilege that you create
In diesem faradayschen Käfig
In this Faraday cage
Den sich ein Mensch einmal erdacht
That a person once thought up
Es ist ein Gleiten, auf deinen Reifen
It's a slide on your tire
Wurde so manch ein Land erforscht
Many a country has been explored
Auch du als Wesen stehst auf den Seiten
You as a being are also standing on the pages
Die als Plan der Schöpfer auserkor
Which the Creator chose as the plan
Das Automobil...
The automobile ...

Ich gleite mit dir über die Erde
I slide over the earth with you
Du bist wie fünfhundert Pferde
You are like five hundred horses
Wie eine riesige Herde
Like a huge herd
Die vor mir herrennt
That runs in front of me
First came the fire, then came the wheel
First came the fire, then came the wheel
With man's desire they forged it into steel
With man's desire they forged it into steel
Used to ride a horse that used to pull a carriage
Used to ride a horse that used to pull a carriage
But with autorotation they fused the two in marriage
But with autorotation they fused the two in marriage
They had a vision, some had a dream
They had a vision, some had a dream
It used to be the piston, was driven by steam
It used to be the piston, was driven by steam
Daimler, Mann, Marcus, Benz
Daimler, Mann, Marcus, Benz
All had a vision for the future, my friends
All had a vision for the future, my friends
The engine was perfected, the science was improved
The engine was perfected, the science was improved
The world was in motion, everything moved
The world was in motion, everything moved
Welcome to the future, where music is combined
Welcome to the future, where music is combined
And listen, it will blow your mind
And listen, it will blow your mind
I en I is the inventor of love, light and sound
I en I is the inventor of love, light and sound
And everything between that, that mankind has found
And everything between that, that mankind has found
Was placed by the Almighty, inventors are high priests
Was placed by the Almighty, inventors are high priests
Love, light and sound -
Love, light and sound -
Das Automobil
The automobile

Ich gleite mit dir über die Erde
I slide over the earth with you
Du bist wie fünfhundert Pferde
You are like five hundred horses
Wie eine riesige Herde
Like a huge herd
Die vor mir herrennt
That runs in front of me
Weil nichts die Zeit vom Raum trennt
Because nothing separates time from space
Es war einst eine Traumwelt
It was once a dream world
Und er war Berthas Traumheld1
And he was Bertha's dream hero
Er und sein Automobil
He and his automobile
