Why do you need to live some hundred miles away from here
Why now that I found you, are you so far?
I just have a chance, I just have a choice
And I decided: I'll take a car
I'll travel happily among the mountains and in the Spitzkopf hill
I'll stop to take a rest
And after picking an orange tree flower, I might feel the power
That will be on my hands
I must know the light of this beauty, I must know the shine of this star
So I'll take a car
I'll take a car, I'll take a car, I will find you even being far
I'll take a car, I'll take a car, I will find you even being far
Why do you need to live some hundred miles away from here
Why now that I found you, are you so far?
I just have a chance... I just have a choice
And I decided: I'll take a car
I'll face the danger of the hairpin bends, of the February Rains
Of the anxiety in my veins
And after passing the street of the bell tower, I'll feel again the power
That will be on my hands
I must see your happiness smile, I must sing with the help of my guitar
So I'll take a car
I'll take a car, I'll take a car, I will find you even being far
I'll take a car, I'll take a car, I will find you even being far
