Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ich Schenk Dir Die Welt by Die Prinzen from German to English.

I'll give you the world, the moon, the stars

I'll bring the sun to you

I shovel sand in the Sahara

And I'll swim across the sea for you

I'll never stop loving you

Not even in a thousand years

And even if you run off, if you leave

I want you to know I only want you

Like a ship in heavy water

Just before mutiny

On a course that's not quite clear

Barely skirting every storm

You've gone to a foreign land

And you don't want to come home anymore

I stay alone on board and drift

Out onto the open sea

I'll give you the world, the moon, the stars

I'll bring the sun to you

I shovel sand in the Sahara

And I'll swim across the sea for you

I'll never stop loving you

Not even in a thousand years

And even if you run off, if you leave

I want you to know I only want you

At some point you started

To shoot your own movie

I closed my eyes

I didn't want to see that

I don't know if you'll come back

But one thing's clear to me now

That what I feel for you

Has never been greater

I'll give you the world, the moon, the stars

I'll bring the sun to you

I shovel sand in the Sahara

And I'll swim across the sea for you

I'll never stop loving you

Not even in a thousand years

And even if you run off, if you leave

I want you to know I only want you

So I ask you once more

Set sail with me

Let's set the sails

Red carpet on the gangway

Discover a sea with me

That nobody knows yet

Even if we go down together

I want nobody to tear us apart

I'll give you the world, the moon, the stars

I'll bring the sun to you

I shovel sand in the Sahara

And I'll swim across the sea for you

I'll never stop loving you

Not even in a thousand years

And even if you run off, if you leave

I want you to know I only want you

SONG MEANING

“Ich Schenk Dir Die Welt” by German pop group Die Prinzen is a grand, tongue-in-cheek love pledge. The singer showers his beloved with impossible gifts – the world, the moon, the stars, even Sahara sand and the sun itself – to show just how far his devotion reaches. These exaggerated promises make the lyrics playful and fun, yet they also highlight a very real feeling: when you are in love, no gift seems too big and no journey feels too far.

Beneath the humor lies a bittersweet story. The partner has started “steering their own film” and may never return, leaving the narrator adrift like “a ship in heavy water.” Still, he refuses to give up. The repeated chorus is his unbreakable vow: he will keep loving her for a thousand years, whether she stays or sails away. The song is both a light-hearted pop anthem and a heartfelt reminder that true love can be steadfast even when the future looks uncertain.
