Katharina
Die Kneip es bal leer.
Nor die Neonröhr booven an d'r
Deck jeit an. Sei es jet möd, ehr Bein sin jet schwer.
För hück hät sei jenoch jedon.

Jo, jo Katharina Su süht es jetz us Maloche maloche söns kütt

Overall Meaning

The song "Katharina" by Brings paints a vivid picture of a tired and restless woman named Katharina who has had enough of her everyday routine. The lyrics describe a scene in an empty bar, where Katharina is sitting with heavy legs and a tired mind. Despite being surrounded by people playing games in the corner, she just wants to go home. She pleads with her companion to leave too, saying that the night is not young and she must leave early. The song portrays Katharina as someone who is exhausted by the monotony of her life and wants to break free from it.


The second half of the song delves into Katharina's past and her failed marriage. She married her husband three years ago, and he promised to be there for her through thick and thin. However, things did not turn out as she expected. He put everything on her, including taking care of the kids and the house. He was not the man he promised to be, and now Katharina is alone with her new car and washing machine, questioning whether this is what she really wanted.


The song "Katharina" is a reflection of the struggles many people face in their marriages and everyday lives. It highlights the importance of companionship and understanding in a relationship and the consequences of neglecting them. The song beautifully captures the emotions of disillusionment and weariness felt by many people.

Gänsehaut pur, selten so lebensechtes Lied gehört. Den Lebenslauf wünscht sich keiner, verlassen werden und dann auf Schulden sitzen bleiben.
