Chris Martin used the phrase "Lieber Ralf, ich bin ein Coldplayer" in an interview with NME.

 

Is that the only time -- on TV or in print -- that anyone can remember him saying that?

 

That was a one-time only thing, right?

Yeah, when he wrote a letter to Kraftwerk to ask permission for using the sample of Computer Love in Talk.

i've got him singing in german.. cracks me up :lol:

But as far as a commercial publication, like in an interview, or in a TV interview that was the only time?

Chris can mutilate most languages. :lol:

Yes, I think it was. But I don't have all the interviews and articles so I'm not sure.

hehe, there's also another interview where he speaks a few sentences in german. back in 2003... as far as I know he learned it at school but he once said his teacher told him he wasn't good. :lol: but he always speaks a bit german when there's a concert in germany. :)

Thanks therese...:)

 

I think Chris sounds well sexy when he's speaking French. He may still maintain his English accent [quite funny, actually], but at least he tries...

Is there something Chris can't do? :stunned:

*doubts*

:cool:

:lol:

i really don't like german (no offense) but he sounds fucking hot :)

thanx for the german song

 

downloading.... :P

I want to hear him talk in latin...he should know it, at least a little bit :lol: :lol:

Thanks for the song Therese and the interview, Sarah :)

Yeah, he can do everything :lol:

some guy translated their letter for Kraftwerk on german.

singing in german? need more details... *g*

 

At Cologne - Frühlinger See 2005 during 'The Scientist' he sang "..Wie komme ich am besten, am besten zum Bahnhof.." :P

that definitely is not german :P

 

@iriden: "what's the best, best way to the train station?"

oh, i heard ich and that's basically all i know :lol:

Yeah, wasn't he singing "Ich bin"... blah blah blah something? :huh:

Well, I'm not good at German so I shut up.

@iriden: "what's the best' date=' best way to the train station?"[/quote']

:lol: :lol: :lol: hope that someone told him "I can bring you there if you want" :P

It's "Ik bin" or something like that... it's dutch (obviously :lol:) Dutch and German are kinda similar, so your mistake isn't bad :)

that song up there isn't german - it's dutch. ;)

 

and as far as I understood it... chris wrote the letter for kraftwerk in english. then someone translated it... and he wrote it again in german. *g*

I once heard him reading a good deal of the german letter on our radio. so cute. ^^
