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. They're |
|
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 Ivan's french accent while speaking german doesn't 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 you're driving at night. |
