Baschi, his debut album from 2004, went platinum and topped the Swiss album charts; his follow-up album, Irgendwie Held (2005), is well on its way to platinum status; and his third and current album, Fürs Volk (2007), is his most successful to date. It has already gone platinum and is number 1 in the album charts. His singles have also been an undisputed success: Gib mer ä Chance (no. 2), Bring en hei (no. 1), and Wenn das Gott wüsst (no. 3). Baschi is the first artist to sing in dialect to have three singles reach the top 3 of the Swiss single charts.
Chum bring en hei! (loosely translated as ‘Go on, bring it home’ or ‘Go on, put it away’) was chanted across the country by thousands of football fans during the 2006 World Cup. Since releasing his football hymn, Baschi himself a football fanatic has become one of the most successful singers to perform in dialect. His no.-1 single Bring en hei which was also used as the theme song for the docu-soap Der Match and the coverage of the 2006 World Cup on Swiss television sold over 50,000 copies and remained in the Top 100 of the Swiss single charts for over a year. Bring en hei is in fact the fourth most successful Swiss song in the history of the Swiss single charts.
In 2008, Baschi’s ode to football will once again be used as the theme music for another major football event: Swiss television and UEFA have decided to use a remix of the song, Bring en hei (Swiss Song for UEFA Euro 2008), as Switzerland’s official song for the European championships. Bring en hei, Baschi!

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aus CD Baschi - Endstation Glück
Song Nr. 3 4.02: Philadelphia
Klavier
So vil Härze sind verlore,
so viel Auge, so viel Träne
Gschichte n uf de Strosse
Hinter jedere Fassade,
hinter jedere n Iigangstür,
spielt ds Läbe zwüsche Hoffnig
und verloschenem Füür
I der Dunkelheit vor Stadt
schliiched Geischter ume
uf dr Suechi nachem Kick,
wo sie im Alltag nie hend gfunde
Was haltet öis am Läbe?
Was macht öis würklech stark?
D' Sehnsucht nach der Freiheit,
wo in öis isch jede Tag
Ganz egal was au passiert,
Du seisch: "Scheissegal wo 's Läbe n ane führt".
Parat zum Kampf für es bitzli Glück
Stand uf! Und zeig, wer Du bisch!
Und öffnet Öiri Auge!
Fanged a, dra z'glaube!
Äs Läbe voll mit Liebi,
das cha jedem Männsch sys Ziel si
Doch wär bi n i und wo goht's ane?
's Glück söll ändli(ch) wieder strahle!
Wirsch ächt de für immer begrabe?
Deckel zue, neu starte
Instrumental
Du chasch's halte när isch's Früehlig
U(n) isch gar nid i dim Härze
Chasch tagelang nur penne,
währenddämm die andere renned...
vo Glück zu Glück
U nid einisch e Misere
Wieso 's die andere händ,
chasch au Du dir nid erkläre
Nur Wenigi chönnd's schaffe
Nur Wenigi händ's druff
I ghör se n au scho lache
Fuck, wenn wach i wieder uf?
Schlussändli gaht's um Liebi
und i schiiss uf alles Andere
Sölle(d) doch die andere
Troschtpriise go sammle ;-)
Ganz egal, was au passiert,
Du seisch: "Scheissegal wo 's Läbe ane führt"
Parat zum Kampf für es bitzli Glück
Stand uf! Und zeig, wär Du bisch!
Und öffnet Öiri Auge!
Fanget a, dra z'glaube!
Äs Läbe voll mit Liebi,
das cha jedem Männsch sys Ziel si
Doch wär bi n i und wo goht's ane?
Ds Glück söll ändlech wieder strahle!
Wirsch äch(t) de für immer begrabe?
Deckel zue, neu starte
Repetition
Doch wär bi n i un' wo goht's ane?
Ds Glück söll ändli wieder strahle!
Wirsch äch(t) de für immer begrabe?
Deckel zue ...
... und neu starte...
erweiterter Refrain
...in es Läbe voller Tate
Spiel ab jetz mit offne Charte!
Will, du chasch nümm länger warte!
Und du öffnisch Dini Auge,
chasch gar nid würkli glaube,
was Du gsesch und füehlsch
So viel Guets für Di!
I däm Läbe, wo Di zwingt,
müesse glücklech z'sy,
chasch o Du
die einzigi Antwort sy
Klavier
The lyrics to Baschi's song Philadelphia explore the themes of hope, perseverance, and the search for happiness in life. The song begins by painting a picture of a society in which people have lost their hearts and souls, and where stories of struggle and hardship are prevalent. Amidst this bleak backdrop, the song suggests that life itself is a precarious balance between hope and despair. However, even in the darkest moments, there is a glimmer of light shining through the cracks, and the song encourages the listener to hold onto the hope for a better tomorrow.
The lyrics then suggest that the key to finding happiness lies within oneself, and that the freedom to search for that happiness is a vital part of what makes life worth living. Despite the challenges that life presents, the song reminds us that it is important to stand up for what we believe in and to fight for our dreams. No matter where life takes us, we must always remain true to ourselves, and never give up on the search for happiness.
Overall, Baschi's Philadelphia is a poignant and uplifting song that speaks to the human experience in a profound and meaningful way. While the lyrics may be simple, their message is powerful and universal, reminding us that we are all in this together, and that the search for happiness is a journey that we all must undertake.

So vil Härze sind verlore,
Many hearts have been lost,
so viel Auge, so viel Träne
So many eyes, so many tears
Gschichte n uf de Strosse
Stories on the street
für so vili nid z erträge
For so many to not bear
Hinter jedere Fassade,
Behind every facade,
hinter jedere n Iigangstür,
Behind every entrance door,
spielt ds Läbe zwüsche Hoffnig
Life plays between hope
und verloschenem Füür
And extinguished fire
I der Dunkelheit vor Stadt
In the darkness outside the city
schliiched Geischter ume
Ghosts sneak around
uf dr Suechi nachem Kick,
In search of a rush,
wo sie im Alltag nie hend gfunde
Which they never found in their everyday lives
Was haltet öis am Läbe?
What holds us to life?
Was macht öis würklech stark?
What really makes us strong?
D' Sehnsucht nach der Freiheit,
The longing for freedom,
wo in öis isch jede Tag
Which is within us every day
Ganz egal was au passiert,
No matter what happens,
Du seisch: "Scheissegal wo 's Läbe n ane führt".
You say, "I don't care where life leads".
Parat zum Kampf für es bitzli Glück
Ready to fight for a little bit of happiness
Stand uf! Und zeig, wer Du bisch!
Stand up! And show who you are!
Und öffnet Öiri Auge!
And open your eyes!
Fanged a, dra z'glaube!
Start to believe!
Äs Läbe voll mit Liebi,
A life full of love,
das cha jedem Männsch sys Ziel si
That can be every person's goal
Doch wär bi n i und wo goht's ane?
But where am I and where do I go?
's Glück söll ändli(ch) wieder strahle!
Happiness should finally shine again!
Wirsch ächt de für immer begrabe?
Will you really bury it forever?
Deckel zue, neu starte
Close the lid, start anew
Du chasch's halte när isch's Früehlig
You can hold it until it's spring,
U(n) isch gar nid i dim Härze
And it's not even in your heart
Chasch tagelang nur penne,
You can sleep for days,
währenddämm die andere renned...
While others run...
vo Glück zu Glück
From happiness to happiness
U nid einisch e Misere
And not even misfortune
Wieso 's die andere händ,
Why do others have it,
chasch au Du dir nid erkläre
You can't explain to yourself
Nur Wenigi chönnd's schaffe
Only a few can do it
Nur Wenigi händ's druff
Only a few have it
I ghör se n au scho lache
I already hear them laughing
Fuck, wenn wach i wieder uf?
Fuck, when will I wake up again?
Schlussändli gaht's um Liebi
Finally it's about love
und i schiiss uf alles Andere
And I don't care about anything else
Sölle(d) doch die andere
Let the others
Troschtpriise go sammle ;-)
Go collect consolation prizes ;-)
Doch wär bi n i un' wo goht's ane?
But where am I and where do I go?
Ds Glück söll ändlech wieder strahle!
Happiness should finally shine again!
Wirsch äch(t) de für immer begrabe?
Will you bury it forever?
Deckel zue ...
Close the lid ...
... und neu starte...
... and start anew...
...in es Läbe voller Tate
...in a life full of deeds
Spiel ab jetz mit offne Charte!
Play now with an open card!
Will, du chasch nümm länger warte!
Because you can't wait any longer!
Und du öffnisch Dini Auge,
And you open your eyes,
chasch gar nid würkli glaube,
You can't really believe,
was Du gsesch und füehlsch
What you see and feel
So viel Guets für Di!
So much good for you!
