Paris Lyrics in English Glasperlenspiel

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Paris by Glasperlenspiel from German to English.
The wallpaper's coming off the wall
So we sit together
Yet we don't look at each other
Back then we were new
Now we're standard
Often you start off right
And then you don't move forward
Sparks fly outside the window
And what do we still want down here
Open it and come on, let's stay, stay, stay
Just not here
Let's get out, out of our patterns
Come on, let's start with an ending
With an ending
We can still be free
We still have Paris
Don't let it be over now
Don't let it be over now
We can still go higher
We still have Paris
Because back then it was so beautiful
Because back then it was so beautiful
And then so little was left
Flies circle wearily around the lantern
From the window frame
The paint slowly peels off
Car tires screech in the distance
And we're isolated
Do you see what's happening
Sparks fall from the clouds
And what do we still want down here
Grab the jacket and come on, let's stay, stay, stay
Just not here
Let's get out, out of our patterns
Come on, let's start with a kiss
With a kiss
We can still be free
We still have Paris
Don't let it be over now
Don't let it be over now
We can still go higher
We still have Paris
Because back then it was so beautiful
Because back then it was so beautiful
We can still be free
We still have Paris
Don't let it be over now
Don't let it be over now
We can still go higher
We still have Paris
Because back then it was so beautiful
Because back then it was so beautiful
And then so little was left
We still have Paris
We can still be free
We still have Paris
Don't let it be over now
Don't let it be over now
We can still go higher
We still have Paris
Because back then it was so beautiful
Because back then it was so beautiful
And then so little was left
We still have Paris
We still have Paris
We still have Paris
We still have Paris

SONG MEANING

Remember that electric feeling of being in love on a city break? Paris paints that memory in neon lights, then contrasts it with the dull wallpaper of a romance that has gone routine. The lyrics describe a couple sitting in a room where paint chips, tires screech in the distance, and even the moths look exhausted. Yet, rather than giving in to the gray, they cling to a single glowing thought: “We still have Paris.” The French capital becomes their code word for freedom, adventure, and the first rush of butterflies—proof that the spark can be reignited if they dare to step outside their tired patterns.

So the song is a rallying cry. It shouts, “Grab your jacket, kiss me, and let’s start over—right now!” The lovers decide to begin with an ending, to tear down the old wallpaper of their habits and repaint life with the colors of their favorite memory. Paris is both a place and a promise: no matter how worn-out things feel, there is always a chance to fly higher, love harder, and make something beautiful again.
