Weiße Pferde
Austria 3 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

ich träumte von weißen pferden
wilden weißen pferden an einem strand
ich lag mitten zwischen den sternen
sah das gesicht einer wahrsagerin
ich glaube an die kartenspiele
und an meinen vorstadtkinderinstinkt
mehr als an die reden der vorsitzenden
nachsitzender, der ich in der schule war
aber sag mir woran
woran meine liebe, glauben wir noch
woran meine liebe, glauben wir noch
woran meine liebe, glauben wir noch
algo se muere en el alma
cuando un amigo se va
no me dejes aqui, mi amor
no te vayas todavía
ich träumte von weißen pferden
wilden weißen pferden an einem strand
mein lehrer war ein vogel
brachte mir das fliegen bei
aber sag mir woran
woran meine liebe, glauben wir noch




woran meine liebe, glauben wir noch
woran meine liebe, glauben wir noch

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Austria 3's song "Weiße Pferde" depict a dream in which the singer envisions wild white horses on a beach while they are lying in the midst of the stars, and they see the face of a fortune-teller. They express a belief in card games and their instincts from their upbringing in the suburbs, more than in the speeches of the chairmen they sat under in school. The singer then reflects on what they and their love still believe in, before shifting to a Spanish verse where they lament the pain of a friend leaving, and ask their love not to leave yet. The dream theme continues with the singer's teacher being a bird who taught them how to fly. The refrain again questions what the singer and their love still believe in.


The song seems to focus on the theme of searching for meaning and belief, particularly in the face of uncertainty and change. The dream imagery and references to intuition and card games suggest a desire to tap into something beyond rational thought or authority figures. The Spanish verse adds a layer of emotional depth and vulnerability, evoking the pain of loss and the desire for connection. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of yearning for something more, and a reluctance to let go of hope and love.
