• Wind - Let The Sun Shi...
Wind is a German musical group that mostly plays schlager music. The band is still active, more than 35 years after its foundation. In this video we can also see the man in yellow: Rob Pilatus who one year after this ESC show became a member of the pop music duo Milli Vanilli with Fabrice Morvan.The group was started in 1985 by the composer Hanne Haller. The members of the band at that time were Alexander "Ala" Heiler, Christiane von Kutschenbach, Rainer Höglmeier, Willie Jakob, Sami Kalifa and Petra
Scheeser.
The group has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest for Germany
three times. The first time was shortly after the formation of the band,
in Eurovision 1985. With the song "Für alle" ("For All") they finished
second, just behind the winning duo Bobbysocks from Norway. In 1987 Wind returned to the contest, performing "Laß die Sonne in dein Herz" ("Let
the Sun in Your Heart") in Brussels, Belgium. Once again they achieved a
second place, this time behind Johnny Logan who represented Ireland.
"Laß die Sonne in dein Herz" has since become the band's trademark tune,
including welcoming visitors to their official website. Wind entered
Eurovision for a third time in 1992 in Malmö, Sweden, with the song
"Träume sind für alle da" ("Dreams Are For Everyone"). This time they
were not as successful, finishing 16th of 23 participants. Wind are the
only act to ever finish second in the contest on two occasions.
Since the late 1990s, Wind consisted of Andreas Lebbing (who sang lead
on Laß die Sonne in dein Herz in the 1987 Eurovision Song Contest),
Nastasja Marinkovic, Albert Oberloher, and Iris Remmertz (later Criens).
Marinkovic left the group briefly in 2005 and was replaced by Angela
Kötzsch; she returned to the group in 2006.
In late 2008, Albert Oberloher left Wind to pursue his own interests.
According to his website, he left the band "due to different ideas about
the artistic direction (of the group)."
Wind continued from there as a trio with Andreas Lebbing, Natasja
Marinkovic, and Iris Criens. At the end of 2010, Marinkovic once again
left the group, replaced by Carolin Frölian.
Lyrics:
Lass die Sonne in dein Herz
Schick die Sehnsucht himmelwärts
Gib dem Traum ein bisschen Freiheit
Lass die Sonne in dein Herz
Manchmal bist du traurig und weisst nicht warum
Tausend kleine Kleinigkeiten machen dich ganz stumm
Du hast fast vergessen wie das ist, ein Mensch zu sein
Doch du bist nicht allein
Lass die Sonne in dein Herz
Schick die Sehnsucht himmelwärts
Gib dem Traum ein bisschen Freiheit
Lass die Sonne in dein Herz
Manchmal in den Nächten macht der Zorn dich blind
Und Gefühle sterben wie ein Kerzenlicht im Wind
Und der Mut vergeht dir, denn die Angst dringt in dich ein
Doch du bist nicht allein
Lass die Sonne in dein Herz
Schick die Sehnsucht himmelwärts
Gib dem Traum ein bisschen Freiheit
Lass die Sonne in dein Herz
Du musst an dich glauben, Mitleid brauchst du keins
Und du musst dein Leben lieben, denn du hast nur eins
Niemals mehr im Schatten stehen, geh ins Licht hinein
Du bist nicht allein
Lass die Sonne in dein Herz
Schick die Sehnsucht himmelwärts
Geh ins Licht mit offnen Armen
Lass die Sonne in dein Herz
Lass die Sonne in dein Herz
Schick die Sehnsucht himmelwärts
Gib dem Traum ein bisschen Freiheit
Lass die Sonne, lass die Sonne
Lass die Sonne in dein Herz
ENGLISH :
Let the sun into your heart
Send your longing to heaven
Give your dreams a little freedom
Let the sun into your heart
Sometimes you feel sad and you don't know why
Thousands of little reasons are making you dumb
You nearly forgot what it's like to be a human being
But you are not alone
Let the sun into your heart
Send your longing to heaven
Give your dreams a little freedom
Let the sun into your heart
Sometimes in the nights anger makes you blind
And feelings die like a candlelight in the wind
And you are losing courage, because fear comes over you
But you are not alone
Let the sun into your heart
Send your longing to heaven
Give your dreams a little freedom
Let the sun into your heart
You have to believe in yourself, you don't need pity
And you have to love your life, because you only have one
Never stand in the shadow again, go into the light
You are not alone
Let the sun into your heart
Send your longing to heaven
Go into the light with open arms
Let the sun into your heart
Let the sun into your heart
Send your longing to heaven
Give your dreams a little freedom
Let the sun, let the sun
Let the sun into your heart
