Behind the words

Same idea, different pictures

English goes high: over the moon like the cow in the nursery rhyme, or up on cloud nine. French joins the angels, être aux anges.

German is out of its little house, aus dem Häuschen, beside itself with joy. In Turkish, someone's skirt bells are ringing, etekleri zil çalıyor, as if they were dancing.
