To feel extremely happy and joyful.
文化背景
The number seven is generally considered a lucky or 'holy' number in German folklore, appearing in many fairy tales (e.g., The Seven Dwarfs, The Seven Little Goats). The phrase is frequently used in 'Schlager' music (German pop/folk) to describe romantic longing and fulfillment. While the phrase is secular today, its roots in the 'seven heavens' of Abrahamic religions are still recognized by older generations.

Preposition Alert
