The lyrics of the song 'Mann im Mond' by
Die Prinzen tell the story of a man who lives on the moon and turns on his light every evening so that we can see it from Earth. The man in the moon watches us, is especially interested in us, and often looks down on us. He sees when we kiss or argue, but we probably argue more often.
Sometimes, the man in the moon is rewarded when he fulfills his faithful duty. If you look at him lovingly, he even takes out his lantern.
The lyrics imply that it is possible to reach the man in the moon. When you're with the man in the moon, he does all sorts of things with you. People can hear the commotion from above, and there is also commotion in the person singing the song. But the next morning, you've had enough of the man in the moon and return to Earth.
The lyrics show that the man in the moon is in love and looks forward to visits. He wishes you a good flight when you return to Earth.
Overall, the song lyrics are about how the man in the moon watches us and is interested in our lives. He is a kind of imaginary friend who accompanies us and sometimes rewards us when we look at him lovingly.
