American Radio in your homes and bars

It's music to my ears in a foreign car

Pop radio stars [ABBA, Roxy, T-Rex]

My seatbelt's fastened tight, I feel secure

Both hands upon the wheel, My life's insured

If you're feeling low, driving's the cure

Oh ah oh oh ah ahhh

Oh ah oh oh ah ahhh

Oh ah oh oh ah ahhh

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.
