About Flieger

Flieger (English translation: "Flyers") was the German entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1989, performed in German by Italian singer Nino de Angelo. In 1984 de Angelo had had his breakthrough with "Jenseits von Eden"/"La valle del Eden"/"Guardian Angel", a #1 hit in West Germany and Switzerland and a Top 10 in most other parts of Continental Europe and Scandinavia. "Flieger" was composed by Dieter Bohlen, internationally best known as one half of the very successful German Europop duo Modern Talking. The song was performed twenty-first on the night (following Iceland's Daníel Ágúst with "Það Sem Enginn Ser" and preceding Yugoslavia's Riva with "Rock Me"). At the close of voting, it had received 46 points, placing 14th in a field of 22. The song is a ballad, with de Angelo expressing his desire to return to a past time when he and a lover were together - a period he likens to flying through the sky. De Angelo also recorded the song in English, then entitled "If There's One Thing That's Forever".

Do und ich
Wir sind so hoch geflogen vor gar nicht langer Zeit
Ein Flugzeug voll mit jungen Träumen stand für uns bereit.
Das mit uns war so groß
Wir eroberten den Himmel
Warum liess't do mich nur los ohne Fallschirm in der Nacht ?
Ich hab' die Zeit nie ganz vergessen
Als wir noch Flieger war'n
Do gehst nicht raus aus meinem Herzen
Ich denk' nur noch daran:
Do hast oft gesagt
Wir sind stark
Wir zwei
So was geht doch nicht einfach so vorbei.
Ich hab' die Zeit nie ganz vergessen
Als wir noch Flieger war'n.
Würd' es gern nochmal mit dir erleben
So'n Flug ins Abendrot
Würde gern nochmal mein Herz riskieren
Sogar bis in den Tod.
Das mit uns war so groß
So was gibt es nur noch selten
Werden wir nur einmal noch auf den Wolken uns verlier'n ?
Ich hab' die Zeit nie ganz vergessen
Als wir noch Flieger war'n
Do gehst nicht raus aus meinem Herzen
Ich denk' nur noch daran:
Do hast oft gesagt
Wir sind stark
Wir zwei
So was geht doch nicht einfach so vorbei.
Ich hab' die Zeit nie ganz vergessen
Als wir noch Flieger war'n
Do gehst nicht raus aus meinem Herzen
Ich denk' nur noch daran !
