Legenden Lyrics in English Max Giesinger

Home / Lyrics translation / Max Giesinger / Legenden

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Legenden by Max Giesinger from German to English.

Morning coffee, quick while standing

Walking through the gray canyon of the streets

Seeing the same people again

Day in, day out

And at night go for another spin

And the thought again right before falling asleep

I've already seen everything here, I gotta get out

I can't stand it here anymore

I see up in the sky

Airplanes disappearing

Imagine us sitting inside

No matter where

If the earth spins too slowly

Then we'll run as fast as we can

To where the roads are endless

And nobody knows our names

Just leave a piece of paper behind

On which it's written: We're gone now

Searching for the moment when everything's right

When for a moment we're legends

Are legends

I open up a new page

Already see the path ahead with my footprints on it

Just leave everything here and run, don't want any weight

I know I need nothing

I see up in the sky

Airplanes disappearing

Imagine us sitting inside

No matter where

If the earth spins too slowly

Then we'll run as fast as we can

To where the roads are endless

And nobody knows our names

Just leave a piece of paper behind

On which it's written: We're gone now

Searching for the moment when everything's right

When for a moment we're legends

There's so much out there

That we don't know yet

So much we could be

We just have to start

If the earth spins too slowly

Then we'll run as fast as we can

To where the roads are endless

And nobody knows our names

Because one small step can change everything

Maybe something big starts here

Searching for the moment when everything's right

When for a moment we're legends

Are legends

Did you like this lyrics translation?

Häuserschluchten-Grau — canyon-like grey of buildings

Häuserschluchten-Grau is a compound noun that literally translates to "house-gorges-grey". It's a vivid and somewhat poetic way to describe the dull, canyon-like appearance of city streets lined with tall buildings.

In the song, it paints a picture of the monotonous, uninspiring urban environment the singer wishes to escape, making it a unique and memorable word that captures the song's theme of longing for freedom and new experiences.

Feeling stuck on repeat? Legenden captures that restless moment when the morning coffee is gulped down on the run, the city feels grey, and every face looks the same. Max Giesinger sings about gazing up at disappearing airplanes and imagining a spontaneous escape, leaving nothing behind except a handwritten note: “Wir sind jetzt weg.” The song turns everyday boredom into a call for adventure, inviting us to sprint toward endless roads where nobody knows our names, shed all baggage, and taste pure freedom.

Behind the catchy melody lies an empowering message: even a tiny first step can start something huge. By daring to break routines and chase the perfect moment, we can become “Legenden” for a heartbeat, proving that life is bigger than the daily grind. It is a soundtrack for anyone who dreams of trading familiarity for possibility and ordinary days for legendary memories.
