Do loßense Drache steije
Kumm, lor dir dat Spillche ens an
Wä kütt wal am hühkste? Wä hät de längste Schnor?
Opsteech en Karriere, Zällt dat em Leeve nor?
Uns Drache huh am Himmel
Jebunge un en Freiheit
Su maach ich dich
Drache, die steije, su huh et jeit
Bes en d'r Himmel, nor wenn d'r Wind jot jeit
Drache, die steije, su huh et jeit
Bes en d'r Himmel, nor wenn d'r Wind jot jeit
Drache, die steije
Mänchmol sin do zwei, die halde sich för kloch
Die binge ehr Drache zesamme un hoffe op ne jode Floch
Doch et jitt och Flaute, un de Winde ston nit jot
Ehr Drache, zesammejebunge, lande beids en d'r Sot
Uns Drache huh am Himmel
He unge du un ich
Jebunge un en Freiheit
Su maach ich dich
Drache, die steije, su huh et jeit
Bes en d'r Himmel, nor wenn d'r Wind jot jeit
Drache, die steije, su huh et jeit
Bes en d'r Himmel, nor wenn d'r Wind jot jeit
The song "Drachesteije" by Brings tells the story of two friends who decide to fly kites on a large field behind the highway. They invite everyone to join them and have fun. However, a competitive spirit arises, and they began to wonder who has the highest kite or the longest cord. They reflect on whether these petty victories really matter in life and if it leads to a successful career.
Despite that, they realize the beauty of the moment, watching their kites fly high in the sky. They feel free and united, sharing this experience together. The lyrics highlight the joy and liberation of feeling the wind and being in nature, enjoying life's simple pleasures like flying kites. The song is a reminder of the importance of finding joy in the moment and not getting carried away by competitive or societal pressures.
