Tokio Hotel – 1000 Meere Good english translation sub
August 31, 2009 - 8:14 am
Translated by someone who actually speaks English and German fluently.
Please note that due to imagery used in songs, which does not always translate as nicely, or words that don’t even exist in the other language, a 1:1 translation would never be possible -__-
For example ‘das Meer’ is actually the sea, but that doesnt sound great in english. Ocean sounds nicer. (Ocean in German, for anyone who wants to know is ‘Ozean’) You see where i’m coming from?
I gave it my best shot. I can tell you its better than many many other translations I have seen on youtube.

What …
What singreadswimlove said, how they changed “unendlichkeit” to “an endless tide” for the english version. o.o That was brilliant, if you ask me.
I don’t see much of a difference between the German lyrics and the English ones. I guess this song was one of the best translated.

this version is …
this version is saying what it really means when they sing it in german.
in the english version they have to change some of the words and lines because if they translate it diractly (like this one) then it doesnt rhyme or fit with the music as well. so they modify it.
but this is what the original song means when its translated into english.
XD
ps. i love this song. tokio hotels english songs are awesome but they’re all better in german!
ich liebe bill!
