Pre>oh ah oh oh ah ahhh

Ah haaa

American radio in your homes and bars
Its music to my ears in a foreign car
Pop radio stars [abba, roxy, t-rex]
My seatbelts fastened tight, I feel secure
Both hands upon the wheel, my lifes insured
If youre feeling low, drivings the cure
Oh ah oh oh ah ahhh
Oh ah oh oh ah ahhh
Oh ah oh oh ah ahhh

1) this should imho mean s-kurve, because in the french lyrics it is
virage en s which means s turn in english. imho the translator had
Either a bad dictionary or got the meaning of german spiralkurve wrong.
German spirale means the same as english spiral which is something
Different.

2) this one describes lamps which use iodine gas to produce light. theyre
Often used as car headlights. it could also refer to the color of the
Headlights of cars in france, which use yellow headlights.

3) this is a road name. europa route 8

4) could also be oben lichter, which means the same. I never really figured
Out, because ivans french accent while speaking german doesnt give it
Clearly. :-)

There are big similarities to the french lyrics, many of the french
Lines translate to the same english words. at first these words seemed
Quite meaningless to me, but imho they describe *great* the feelings
And things you have in your head, when youre driving at night.
