Der Weihnachtsmann ist schuld daran
Die Prinzen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Daß jeder jeden liebt
Der Weihnachtsmann ist schuld daran
Obwohl's ihn gar nicht gibt
Einmal im Jahr wolln wir allen was schenken
Sogar unsrer dämlichen Nachbarin
Schreiben Karten an Leute, an die wir gern denken-
Einmal im Jahr falln wir uns um den Hals
Essen Gans und Pralinen, weil's so gut schmeckt
Die Straßen sind still und nur ganz selten knallt's
Da öffnet der Vater grad 'ne Flasche Sekt
Der Weihnachtsmann...
Nur einmal im Jahr, das ist mir viel zu wenig
Ich will jeden Tag mit dir baden gehn
Nur einmal im Jahr, nee, glaub mir das lehn ich
Voll ab, denn den Rest würd ich nicht überstehn
Vor fast einem Jahr warn wir zwei ganz allein
Und ich hab dir gesagt, daß ich dich gerne mag
Jetzt hörn wir nebenan unser Baby schrein
Seit es da ist, ist Weihnachten jeden Tag
Der Weihnachtsmann...
Der Weihnachtsmann ist schuld daran:
Ich lieb dich immer noch
Der Weihnachtsmann ist schuld daran
Wahrscheinlich gibt's ihn doch.
The lyrics to Die Prinzen's song Der Weihnachtsmann ist schuld daran speak of the pervasive feeling of love and togetherness that seem to arise during the Christmas season. The song attributes this feeling to the existence of the mythical figure of Santa Claus, claiming that he is the reason why people love each other during this time, despite the fact that he doesn't actually exist.
The song also touches on the traditions and rituals associated with Christmas, such as gift-giving, card-sending, and feasting. However, the lyrics suggest that these practices are somewhat contrived, and that people only participate in them once a year because of the influence of the Christmas spirit.
Interestingly, the song also makes a reference to a personal relationship, hinting at the idea that the warmth and affection associated with Christmas can extend beyond the holiday season. The singer mentions wanting to be with the person they love every day, and suggests that the birth of a child has made every day feel like Christmas.
Overall, the lyrics to Der Weihnachtsmann ist schuld daran capture the complex mix of emotions that people experience during the festive season. They suggest that the joy, love, and togetherness that people feel during this time are both contrived and genuine, and that the mythical figure of Santa Claus plays a key role in creating these feelings.
