Four of the seven band members sang in the famous "Thomanerchor" (St. Thomas Boys Choir) in Leipzig.

Later, Jens Sembdner (bass) joined the band. In 1989, Henri Schmidt (baritone) became a member of "Herzbuben". "Herzbuben" evolved into "Die Prinzen" in 1991 with Tobias Künzel (baritone) as their apparent lead singer.

Entspann Dich
Die Prinzen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Schlecht geschlafen letzte Nacht
Schweißgebadet aufgewacht
Durchgedreht
Renn' ins Bad durch den Flur
Seh' im vorübergeh'n die Uhr
Zu spät

Stürz' den Kaffee in mich 'rein

Sollte längst woanders sein
Mein Herz schlägt wild
Finde meinen Schlüssel nicht
Mir wird schwindelig
Da sagt mein Spiegelbild

Entspann' dich
Bleib' ruhig

Alles dreckig - alles grau
Nichts bewegt sich - steh' im Stau
Viel zu laut
Augen müde - Kopf ist schwer
Will hier weg - kann nicht mehr
Tag versaut

Entspann dich
Bleib ruhig
