An einem Wintertag Als er nicht bei ihr lag Sturm blies der die Wellen brach Als ihr Schatz in See stach Der Nachtwind weinte Weinte es in ihr Ohr Weit draußen Da ging Dein Schatz verloren Liam, Liam, ich bin immer bei dir Liam, Liam, auch ich liebe das Meer Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam Bald komm ich zu dir Mit dem Vaters Boot Folgte sie im Morgenrot Segelte Tage viele Nächte Betete zu allen Mächten Das Schicksal neigte Neigte, erbarmte sich Weit draußen Da fand sie das Schiff Liam, Liam, ich bin immer bei dir Liam, Liam, auch ich liebe das Meer Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam Bald komm ich zu dir Captain sprich nur zu Ist mein Schatz bei deiner Crew? Wellen rissen ihn von Bord Das wilde Meer zog ihn fort Das Mädchen weinte Es weinte so sehr Weit draußen Da flossen Tränen ins Meer Liam, Liam, ich bin immer bei dir Liam, Liam, auch ich liebe das Meer Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam Bald komm ich zu dir
@art2464 Liam is an irish name. It's the shortform of "Wilhelm". Eg. the actor Liam Neeson (known for the movies Schindler's List, Nell, Rob Roy or Star Wars)
@DarthDaegor Good comment, pisses me off when someone can come and make a comment like that on this in extremo video, always some people who want to cause trouble, peace and love to my friends in Germany from the UK!
@dillonivik I don't think so, I'm an Irish speaker and if this is Irish then it is horribly corrupted and mispronounced, but then again I'm not completely fluent, so I can't understand what he's singing.
@magicrub54 You better think it over. You don't want to mess with us now, blieve me friend. And why do you think every German hate Poland? Nazism is nearly extinguished. Germany and Poland live in peace and friendship. Please, don't mess it up. Keep well.
RIP Yellow Pfeiffer =( His stage performance and outfit was always one of my favourite out of all musicians since i first saw this video, after seeing them in gothic. He was only 53 years old
As an Irish person i appreciate the cultural reach out with this song! A beautiful eulogy expressing a painful story greatful you took time to understand the language!
Lá seideadh amháin Nuair luí sí ina theannta Shéid an stoirm, bhris na tonnta Lá ar bhádh a stór sa mhuir Chaoin an ghaod oíche Chaoin sí ina cluas Fada amach Chuaigh sé Do stór caillte Liam, Liam, bím I gcónai I do theannta Liam, Liam, Tá grá agam don mhuir Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam Beidh mé agat gan mhoill I mbád a hathair Lán sí le h-éirí gréine Sheol si de lá is d'oíche D'impigh sí na Déithe Bhí an chinnúint léi Rinne said trócaire uirthi Fada amuigh Ansin bhuail sí le long Liam, Liam, bím I gcónai I do theannta Liam, Liam, Tá grá agam don mhuir Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam Beidh mé agat gan mhoill Chaptaen, cogar anois dom An bhfuil mo stór in bhur measc Stróic na tonnta é thar bhord Rug an mhuir fhián é léi Chaoin an cailín Chaoin sí go géar Fada amuigh Gur imigh a deora le mhuir Liam, Liam, bím I gcónai I do theannta Liam, Liam, Tá grá agam don mhuir Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam Beidh mé agat gan mhoill
It's a man's name. The song is about a girl whose lover dies at sea; she goes out searching for him, crying his name, and meets with a ship's captain who tells her that he fell overboard. The chorus is 'Liam Liam, I will always be by your side/waiting for you, Liam, Liam, I love the sea, Liam, Liam, (etc.) I will be with you without delay'.
This version n drummer are 100x better than the current ones. They really declined just like society is declining in time. I guess art does imitate reality. Man i miss their original old songs like this and their original drummer.
I've been listening to this song and group since 2008 or 2009. I love these guys so much!!! Their music really gets to my Germanic Anglosaxon and Celtic soul!!!
This song reminds me of the famous REM song "Losing My Religion". Mainly his stanza. 00:42 Dieser Song erinnert mich an den berühmten REM-Song „Losing My Religion“. Hauptsächlich seine Strophe. 00:42 Esta canción me hace acordar al famoso tema de REM, "Losing My Religion". Principalmente su estrofa. 00:42

Die machen echte Musik und das hört man , wenn eine Band live sich genau so gut anhört wie auf CD aus dem Studio dann Ist es richtige Musik das können die ganzen möchtegern hiphoper nicht mit ihrem autotune , Autotune ist aber auch gut ... in meiner Husqvarna motorsäge
Yeah it's actually gaelic but it's just related to irish gaelic it's not the same. It's a celtic language and of course there are different types of it. Anyway In Extremo just f***in rocks :D
@vernaculovermelho not really, i speak both, but i find irish easier. their gaelic pronunciation is horrible though, you can barely make out what they say :L
In Extremo originally wrote the lyrics to the song 'Liam' in German, after which it was translated into Gaelic by Rea Garvey, who was also a guest singer on the song.
Dude this is awesome , the first time when I listened this song is at my guitar teacher and now i just can not stop from listening this song :D . It became an addiction :))
HAbe mittlerweile die "am goldenen Rhein Live" Doppel-CD gekauft. Hammer. Aber dieses Stück klingt in dieser Version noch besser als auf der Live DVD. (und die Studio-Version find'ich gar hässlich) In Extremo ist einfach eine Liveband. Falls die mal in meiner Nähe spielen, muss ich unbedingt hin!
This is In Extremo. Sad that i was too young to see them in this condition. I listen them to sleepp as kid. But after "Sängerkrieg" it was over for me.
Liam Liam!!! "Liam, Liam, bím I gcónai I do theannta Liam, Liam, Tá grá agam don mhuir Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam Beidh mé cout gan mhoill" In Italy "Liam, Liam, sono sempre accanto a te Liam, Liam, anche io amo il mare Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam Presto verrò da te"
I actually wonder why you have to know German to translate that song xD this version is in irish (I don't know what the language is exactly called in English.. maybe gallic or something xD in German it's called Gälisch^^) but there is a German version of that song as well^^
