Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dia Menscha schmeißa sich im Zura Wörter an da Grindt -
Då moansch, du bisch im Zoo, weil då hearsch Viechernåma blos.
Ma saht: "Du Esl" und "Du Hirsch" und "Du Rhinozeros"!
Und håt då oaner gå koan Ånstånd und wird gånz gemein,
Der saht - wenn er mål schimpft mit dir - "Du bisch a dummes ..."! Bei da Menscha, bei da Viecher geit's a Balzzeit, des isch klår!
Doch bei da meischta Menscha dauert sie des gånze Jåhr!
Jacky hoaßt er "gamsa" geaht er - er isch auf der Pirsch!
Steaht då wia a Giggeler, saht: "Hallo Maus, ich find dich heiß!"
Doch sie draht sich um und saht: "Fliag å då mit dem ...!" Ououo - Wia im Zoo geaht's zua!
Ououo - A so a Viecherei!
Ououo - Gråd so geaht's zua,
Als war der Mensch no im Urwåld und ma heart da Tarzanschrei!
Ououo - Wia im Zoo geaht's zua!
Der Mensch, des isch a Viech, des merkt ma glei!
Das Kostüm so mancher Dame, du då bluatat mir das Herz,
Weil d'r Kråuga, isch a Fuchspelz und d'r Måntl isch a Nerz!
Am Huat, då steckt a Feder, jå die Feder von am Pfau,
Und die Tasche isch aus Leder - Krokodil, des siecht ma gnau!
Des Gsicht, des håt sie bunt - gråd wia a Pappagei åugmålt!
Und hintanoch, då hatscht der Esl, der das ålles zåhlt!
The song "Wia im Zoo geaht's zua" by Bluatschink talks about how the behavior of human beings is similar to that of animals in a zoo. The singer finds it strange that people indulge in name-calling just like the animals in the zoo where they are referred to by their species. Here, humans call each other names like "stupid" and "idiot," and it shows how much shrewdness and condescension exists in our societies. The song tells us about how humans use the concept of courting or active pursuit to attract a partner, which can be animalistic in nature. The singer talks about a man named Jacky, who calls himself a hunter and tries to flirt with women in a club.
Through the song, Bluatschink tries to portray how humans imitate their animal counterparts, particularly from the animal kingdom they observe in the zoo. The song emphasizes the irony that despite human beings possessing higher intellect, we still exhibit animalistic tendencies, just like the animals in the zoo. The song is a commentary on human behavior and how we are sometimes unable to control our primitive instincts.
Overall, "Wia im Zoo geaht's zua" is an amusing song that highlights various aspects of human behavior in a lighthearted way while also pointing out some hard truths about our nature.
