Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
mir kläve ständig an der uhr
pünktlich sinn dat is en pflicht
anders funktioniert et nit
morgens fröh fängk et schon an
ich ben noch am schlofe drann
jeder jed mer ob de sack
bis ich dann ming sache pack
de zick, zick, zick
die mät tick, tick, tick
un die kütt, kütt, kütt
nie zurück, rück, rück
de zick, zick, zick
die mät tick, tick, tick
un die kütt ne me zurück
stroßebahn kütt och zu spät
besser wenn mer lofe dät
üverall de dress verkehr
alle fahre krüz un quer
völlig fedig nass geschwitz
ich an mingem schreibtisch sitz
5 vor ach alles jod
ich ben do un doch schon dut
mit de johre sieht mer dann
dat mer zik nit koufe kann
jeder dach en enzelstück
un der kütt ne me zurück
alles wat so wichtig wor
is ob eimal ni me do
un dir wed jez plötzlich klar
dat da noch jet andres wor
(Dank an tom für den Text)
The song "De Zick" by Brings is a catchy tune about the importance of time in our lives. The lyrics introduce the idea that time is a strict and unforgiving ruler, dictating our every move and never stopping for anyone. The opening lines of the song, "Wat is et nur, wat is et nur? Mir kläve ständig an der Uhr" roughly translate to "What is it now, what is it now? We're always watching the clock." This establishes the theme of the song, which is that being punctual is a duty that cannot be ignored.
The lyrics continue with a description of a typical morning routine, where the singer is still half asleep while everyone around him is rushing to get ready. Even the streetcar is late, and it would be better just to walk to avoid the traffic. The stress of trying to keep up with a busy schedule is starting to show, as the singer describes himself as "totally exhausted and sweating" when he finally makes it to his desk at work. Despite all this, he still manages to be on time, but the realization that time is slipping away from him and that nothing lasts forever looms in the background.
