Kate & Sawyer as Bonnie and Clyde... that's a quite good idea!

Good choice of scenes, they work very well with the lyrics. A nice fun vid, I really enjoyed it!

Just a suggestion: Maybe you should try to submit a translation of the lyrics. Will make it easier for other viewers.

Thanks, KajaM.

I thought about submitting a translation of the lyrics but feared my English would be too bad.
Well, I tried anyway.

Here are the German lyrics:

Wir sind uns vorher nie begegnet,
doch ich hab dich schon lang vermisst.
Auch wenn ich dich zum ersten Mal hier treff,
ich wusste immer wie du aussiehst.
Mit dir will ich die Pferde stehln,
die uns im Wege sind.
Ich geh mir dir durch dick und dünn
bis an das Ende dieser Welt.

Leg deinen Kopf an meine Schulter,
es ist schön, ihn da zu spürn,
und wir spielen Bonnie und Clyde.
Komm, wir klauen uns ein Auto,
ich fahr dich damit rum
und wir spielen Bonnie und Clyde.

Was wir zum Leben brauchen,
werden wir uns schon irgendwie holen.
Wir rauben ein paar Banken aus
oder einen Geldtransport.
Wir schießen zwei, drei, vier, fünf Bullen um,
wenn es nicht mehr anders geht.
Jeder weiß genau, was er da tut,
wenn er uns aufhalten will.

Leg deinen Kopf an meine Schulter,
es ist schön, ihn da zu spüren,
und wir spielen Bonnie und Clyde.
Auch wenn uns die ganze Welt verfolgt,
wir kümmern uns nicht drum,
denn wir sind Bonnie und Clyde.

Wenn uns der Boden untern den Füßen brennt,
machen wir uns aus dem Staub.
In den Bergen hängen wir alle ab,
die etwas von uns wollen.
Lebendig kriegen sie uns nie,
egal wie viele es sind.
"Tod oder Freiheit" soll auf unserem Grabstein stehn.

Leg deinen Kopf an meine Schulter,
es ist schön ihn da zu spüren,
und wir spielen Bonnie und Clyde.
Komm wir bomben uns durchs Leben
und öffnen jede Tür,
denn wir sind Bonnie und Clyde.

Leg deinen Kopf an meine Schulter,
es ist schön, ihn da zu spüren,
und wir spielen Bonnie und Clyde.
Unsere Liebe soll ein Sprengsatz sein,
der ständig explodiert.
Du bist Bonnie, ich bin Clyde.


Here is my English translation. I tried to translate it line by line:

We’ve never met before
But I’ve missed you for a long time.
Even if I met you here for the first time,
I always knew how you looked.
With you I want to steal the horses
which are in our way. (Meaning: you’re a good sport)
I walk with you through thick and thin
to the end of this world.

Lay your head upon my shoulder,
it’s nice to feel it there,
and we play Bonnie and Clyde.
Come on, let's steal a car,
I drive you around
and we play Bonnie and Clyde.

What we need for living,
we will get somehow.
We rob a few banks
or a money transport.
We shoot two, three, four, five cops,
if there is no other way.
Everybody knows exactly what he is doing,
if he wants to stop us.

Lay your head upon my shoulder,
it’s nice to feel it there,
and we play Bonnie and Clyde.
Even if the whole world is chasing us,
we don’t care,
because we are Bonnie and Clyde.

If our situation gets critical,
we make a bolt for it.
In the mountains we get rid of everybody,
who wants something from us.
They’ll never get us alive,
no matter how many they are.
“Death or Freedom” should be written on our grave.

Lay your head upon my shoulder,
it’s nice to feel it there,
and we play Bonnie and Clyde.
Come on, we bomb us through life,
and open every door,
because we are Bonnie and Clyde.

Lay your head upon my shoulder,
it’s nice to feel it there,
and we play Bonnie and Clyde.
Our love should be like dynamite,
which constantly explodes.
You are Bonnie, I am Clyde.


After I finished translating I found out that there actually exists an English version of the song. It's not an exact translation of the German lyrics, but it may be better for understanding:

Before we even met I had been waiting for you,
we laid eyes on each other and immediately knew.
Behaving like two bandits, in a world that's going straight.
They're weak, we're strong; we're right, they're wrong,
they can't stand in our way.

Lay your head upon my shoulder,
it's so good to know you're there
and we'll feel like Bonnie and Clyde.
This town's too small, let's steal a car
and drive on out of here
and we'll feel like Bonnie and Clyde.

Our faces on the front page, we'll be public enemies,
we'll live our lives like outlaws and we'll steal what we need.
We'll rob some banks, gun down some cops, make off across the fields.
Our love will just get stronger with the whole world at our heels.

Lay your head upon my shoulder
it's so good to know you're there
and we'll feel like Bonnie and Clyde.
They can hate us, they can hound us
we won't even care
'cause we'll feel like Bonnie and Clyde.

One day they may corner us like rats in a trap,
but can anybody else say that they've never felt like that?
Some get scared and some get mad and some just run away,
but we'll shout "death or freedom", go out with guns ablaze.

Lay your head upon my shoulder
it's so good to know you're there
and we'll feel like Bonnie and Clyde.
Our love will be like dynamite
exploding everywhere
and we'll feel like Bonnie and Clyde.

Just lay your head upon my shoulder
it's so good to know you're there
and we'll feel like Bonnie and Clyde.
Let them chisel on our tombstones
the names they learned to fear:
Here lies Bonnie, there lies Clyde.
