Does anyone know a great Herbert Grönemeyer song I can play at my wedding?

Question

During the unity candle part of the ceremony, I want to surprise my husband with a german song. We are both fans of Herbert, but I do not know Deutsch-I think this would be a lovely surprise for him to hear a song in his native language.

Answer 1

Stand Der Dinge

Answer 2

I think "halt mich" (hold me) would be the best for this situation!

Its a beautiful love song, in which the man declares his love to the woman in very romantic words. Its also wunderful to play on piano, if there is the opportunity...

Good luck and all the best for you...

Answer 3

Again, I have sent you an email! ;-)

Answer 4

"Morgenrot" is one of his greatest love songs ever.

I'm not an English poet but I tried some translation ;-)

I build for you a bed from roses

The wall made from shiny paper

The room has a golden soil

And the rainbow ends exactly here.

All windows go to the south

With view to the glittering sea

I calm down the waves every day

Dive to bring you back sunken dreams.

Exchange longing against mother-of-pearl

Will laugh and will cry with you

Always have a trump card hidden in the sleeve, that wins.

I will promise you love

If the water stands up to your neck.

Will in very bad times

Spread a net for you to fall in

Stand by your side in the storm, until the wind turns.

I lie for you

Put all tragic things into lovely words

Drive away sadeness once for all time

Mourning will be judged

Will take care there’s always good signs for you.

Every wish will immediately fulfilled.

Even sooner, if you want.

Will be available day and night

Am discreet and keep still.

Life‘s daily grey I pur in the gutter

Doubts will be killed before growing up.

For you it‘s to rain golden coins

And you can be more vain than the sunshine.

Let the air burn for you,

Build dreamcastles into the red morning sky,

Evil ghosts will be beaten up.

I will promise you love...

Only good moods get the permission,

The bad ones immediately dishonored.

Heartache is food for the peace doves,

Problems sweeped under the flying carpet.

I will promise you love...

I lie for you...

Will in very bad times...
