Blaubär Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She warbles as she flies
But I never give her water
Till the forth day of July.
It is often that I wonder
Why women love men
And I look back and I wonder
Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
But I never give her water
Till the forth day of July.
Gonna build me another castle
On a mountain so high
So then I can see my true love
As she passes by.
Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
But I never give her water
Till the forth day of July.
--- Instrumental ---
Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds
I know you of old
You have robbed my poor pockets
Of silver and of gold.
Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
But I never give her water
Till the forth day of July
The first verse of the song 'Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird' describes the pleasant melody that the cuckoo bird sings as she flies. However, the singer mentions that he doesn't give her water until the fourth of July, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for withholding something important until a specific time for maximum impact.
The second verse begins with the lines "It is often that I wonder, why women love men" which shows the singer contemplating the complex nature of love and relationships. He then reflects on the qualities that make men, men, which could be interpreted as a commentary on masculinity and the expectations society places on men.
The third verse sees the singer dreaming of building a new castle on a mountain so high that he can see his true love whenever she passes by. The song ends with an instrumental and a final verse, where the singer addresses the Jack of Diamonds, accusing him of robbing him of silver and gold, and once again mentions the cuckoo bird.
