They Sing: Ich weiß nicht weiter Ich weiß nicht, wo wir sind Ich weiß nicht weiter Von hier an blind roughly translated to english it means: I don't know where to go, I dont know where we are, I dont know where to go, From here I'm blind. But they changed it in the official english version so it rhymes and makes sense.
wow first i wanted to make a comment about how funny they brought the donkey down, but then i saw that you all aren't german. this is great that at least a little bit of our german stars get over to foreign countries. but -like some guys mentioned it- there is no way wir sind helden could thing in english. their esprit and charme are part of the language and that's not possible in english. i am sorry about my opinion -.-
anyways, to come back to the start: I LOVE HOW THEY LET THE DONKEY DOWN! XD
The video is a fantastically well-made tribute to Hergé and the song pretty awesome too.
Sie sind zwar meine Helden! I just wish they could break into the English-speaking mainstream, like Rammstein (another favourite German band of mine) did! People are really missing out. The whole album was great, and their music isn't normally my thing (could you guess that when i mentioned Rammstein? ;)) Weiter so, Wir sind Helden!
@ crazyalbino: No, but english is compulsory subject for every student in Germany. Above all, learning english is comparatively easy for german native speakers because english is closely related to german, but it's structure is more easy ;)
Are they popular in america? I'm australian and never heard of them until I went into some alternative club in minneapolis, minnesota, people seemed to love it.
these guys are really good. we have a german exchange student living with my family and this was one band she got me into. there great and its great too that her dad is this big guy in germany that knows the band. got some signed stuff from them and whatever. Juli is also a cool band to look into.
My next musical project is to play this song...and sing the verses in German, but switch the choruses from German to Japanese to English...should be interesting.
I love the song and the video - more to it than meets the eye. Who never experienced the feeling of being blind and lost and at the same time knew that there is no turning back, knows very little about live.
sweft, was bist du für ein klugscheißer? du möchtergern! geh lernen bevor du hier laberst! sie heißt außerdem weimarer republik und (jene) war vor dem 2.weltkrieg, kann also nur rege von seinen auswirkungen betroffen sein! eine auswirkung will ich dir nennen: du sitzt manchmal vor deinem computer und willst vergeblich klugscheißen, was in der realität nicht geht, da man dir deine ingelligenz ansieht!
and what do they find by the end of the video? what is that light?
