[shadigradisprint]

Ist vas UN-knleine-MASSIV at der klub EXIT en Chikago USA in der 1980's, ja wohl ( der Englischer verzione, exactamention, ja ! )

[tlancast3]

Man – let the light in; David Bowie’s gonna be here tonight – au fein.

I’m getting ecstasy in my world.

Oh yes I’m a starchild, the purest superhero.

And whether you like it or not

Money rules this world, but not every world.

I am love, I am life, I am mother, I am the child.

I am love, I am life, I am mother, I am the child.

[DivineMalice9]

@tlancast3 wow those were the lyrics to this version

[tlancast3]

The newest nightclub’s opening up tonight

The newest nightclub’s opening up tonight

The newest nightclub’ opening up tonight.

New York New York New York New York

And it’s going – straight up to the top.

And it’s going – straight up to the top.

[tlancast3]

I also love Berlin and Amsterdam and Hollywood just as much

Jealousy is such a sickness – I love everything good.

And after my show, we’re always happy (ready to go)

And everyone’s going to the disco

We’re to the next disco

One disco after another disco

And shaking our head in rhythm

To the funky rap die dap

AM PM, Pyramid, Roxy, Mud Club, Danceteria.

[tlancast3]

The newest nightclub’s opening up tonight The newest nightclub’ opening up tonight. New York New York New York New York. New York City is the hottest city When you’ve got a new boyfriend and hotel room. New York City is thing onto itself. And absolutely most definitely a thing for me. New York I send my heart to you I love you so much I couldn’t go on without you, I love you more and more.

[tlancast3]

That is the purest truth and I’ll swear seven times over: New York, I want to have a penthouse – one directly under the roof. And after my show, I’m always happy (ready to go) And everyone’s going to the disco We’re to the next disco One disco after another disco And shaking our head in rhythm To the funky rap die dap AM PM, Pyramid, Roxy, Mud Club, Danceteria. The newest nightclub’s opening up tonight

Here's my translation of the lyrics. I think it follows the overall meaing of original text in some places matches up very closely:

New York City is the hottest city

When you have a new boyfriend and hotel room.

New York City is my favorite place

‘cause the people I know there are a real treasure.

It’s always late at night

When we’re going through the clubs.

And it always occurs to me…

I would be the nightclub queen.

I would love it if someone could translate. I wonder if the English version follows this closely?

[snowball1988]

@rawjoedallas i put the lyrics in a german to english translator and the lyrics are quite differerent, its about the same thing (having a good time and going to the new york clubs), but its not a like-for-like translation, i suppose its so it rhymes in both languages! like she says something about berlin and amsterdam being jealous of new york or something, which isnt in the english version...
