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.
