Hab mein Pestkarren vollgeladen
Absurd Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hab meinen Pestkarren vollgeladen,
voll mit toten Menschen
die muss ich zum Acker fahren
weil sie nun schon stinken

Drum lad ich all mein Lebentage
wieder Pestleichen auf mein' Wagen
Hüh, Schimmel Hühahüh
Hüh, Schimmel Hüh

Auf dem Richtplatz muss zum Henker
der arme Sünder
über seine Zottelteile
freuen sich gar die Kinder

Drum lad ich all mein Lebentage
wieder Galgenvögel auf mein' Wagen
Hüh, Schimmel Hühahüh
Hüh, Schimmel Hüh

Hab meinen Wagen vollgeladen
voll mit schönen Mädchen
als sie ins Bordell ankamen
hurten sie durch's Städtchen

Drum lad ich all mein Lebentage
nur noch schöne Mädchen auf mein' Wagen
Hüh, Sklave Hühahüh
Hüh, Sklave Hüh

Hab meinen Pestkarren vollgeladen,
voll mit toten Menschen
die muss ich zum Acker fahren
weil sie nun schon stinken

Drum lad ich all mein Lebentage
wieder Pestleichen auf mein' Wagen




Hüh, Sklaven Hühahüh
Hüh, Sklaven Hüh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Hab mein Pestkarren vollgeladen" by Absurd are dark and disturbing, telling the story of someone who continuously loads their cart with dead bodies, either from the plague or the gallows, and drives them around town. The first verse speaks of loading the cart with dead bodies and having to take them to the fields because they are starting to rot. The chorus follows with the person stating they will spend their life loading their cart with more dead bodies, singing "Hüh, Schimmel Hühahüh, Hüh, Schimmel Hüh" which roughly translates to "Giddy up horse".


The second verse is about the gallows where the executioner hangs the guilty and the children of the town celebrate the occasion. The same theme is repeated in the chorus with the person stating they will fill their cart with more gallows birds. Finally, the last verse speaks of the person filling his cart with beautiful women who end up in the brothel and the person singing "Hüh, Sklave Hühahüh, Hüh, Sklave Hüh" which means "Giddy up slave". The song repeats the same verses with minor variations.


The lyrics of this song are clearly disturbing and dark, portraying death, the plague, the gallows, and prostitution. The song's meaning can be interpreted in several ways, but it is mainly about the acceptance and assimilation of these dark aspects of life. The chorus can be seen as a metaphor for life, where we are constantly loading our carts with more burdens and hardships.
