SONG BACKGROUND
This is a mellow, melodious song about two people in love — but something has gone wrong. Is there still hope? Perhaps beyond the horizon. The truth is... In 1986 Udo's life partner and member of his Panikorchester, Gabi Blitz, died of a drug overdose. Udo wrote "Horizont" and dedicated it to her. The song became a hit for Udo and originally appeared on his 1988 album "Horizont."

Horizont - Horizon
Literal English translation by Hyde Flippo
We were two detectives,
hats low over our faces
all streets endless
there were no barriers for us at all
You and I, that was
simply unbeatable
a couple like lightning and thunder
and always on a burning hot trail.
We were such true friends
for eternity, it was obvious after all.
We didn't see the clouds
on the horizon until it was dark,
and then it happened,
I didn't get it.
It all went too fast,
but two people like us
can't ever lose each other!
Beyond the horizon things go on,
a new day
beyond the horizon on and on,
Together we're strong,
things with us went so deep,
that can never come to an end.
Something so great just doesn't pass by.
You and I, that was
simply unbeatable
a couple like lightning and thunder
but two people like us
can't ever lose each other!
Beyond the horizon things go on,
a new day
beyond the horizon on and on,
together we're strong.
Things with us went so deep,
that can never come to an end.
Because two people like us
can't ever lose each other!
Beyond the horizon on and on...
