Hans und Gabi
Der Plan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of Der Plan's song "Hans und Gabi" tell the story of two people deeply in love who want to get married and start a family. They have a daughter, followed by a son who is very intelligent. Hans works hard to provide for the family while Gabi takes care of the children at home. Despite the daily grind, they are happy and content with their family life. However, things take a tragic turn when Hans is called up to join the army. In his absence, Gabi falls in love with Kurt Martin, leaving Hans heartbroken and bitter. He becomes a General and leads his army to invade a neighboring country, planning ruthless destruction against the enemy. As Hans is consumed by his destructive thirst for revenge, he wonders why Gabi left him.
The song taps into the themes of love, family, loss, and the damaging toll of war. It offers a poignant reflection of the fragility of relationships and the devastating effects of conflict on individuals and society. The opening verses illustrate a picture of a happy family, emphasizing the bond between Hans and Gabi, with their love leading to the birth of two beautiful children. However, the story takes a dark and violent turn when Hans is betrayed and left with feelings of anger and resentment. He devolves into a vengeful and heartless character, consumed by his need for retaliation.
