Warum hast Du das getan
Die Prinzen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Na-na-na-na-na-na-naaaaaaaaa-nana
Warum hast du das getan?
Na-na-na-na-na-na-naaaaaaaaa-nana
Seit Tagen hab ich nichts gegessen
Hab nur getrunken und viel zu viel geraucht
Ich kann den Mittwoch nicht vergessen
Ich hab dich so gebraucht?
Ich wein’ es hier ins Telefon
Ich frag dich:
War das alles Illusion?
Refrain:
Warum hast du das getan?
Das hat mich umgehau’n wie ein Orkan
Warum hast du das getan?
Mein Herz gebrochen wie altes Porzellan
Warum hast du das getan?
Das war ein rabenschwarzer Tag
Warum hast du das getan?
Du wusstest doch wie sehr ich dich mag
Im siebten Himmel wird gelogen
Den gibt es wirklich nur in Hollywood
Und auch mein schöner Regenbogen
Ist nur schwarzweiß
Seit Mittwoch auch kaputt
Ich wein’ es hier ins Telefon
Ich frag dich:
War das alles Illusion?
Refrain
Verkauft verraten und allein
Ich fühl mich so katastrophal
(so katastrophal)
Ich würde dir so gern verzeihn
Deswegen frag ich dich zum tausendsten Mal:
Refrain

Warum hast du das getan?
The song "Warum hast du das getan" by Die Prinzen is about heartbreak, betrayal and deception. The singer of the song is deeply hurt and confused as to why his significant other would betray their trust and break their heart. The first verse describes the singer's state of mind, having not eaten and smoked too much since the mid-week incident. He is unable to forget what happened and is yearning for his significant other, whom he feels he needed at that moment in time.
The chorus is repetitive and serves to emphasize the pain and confusion felt by the singer. The questions of "Warum hast du das getan?"(why did you do that?) are repeated several times, almost as if the singer cannot comprehend why his significant other would have intentionally hurt him in such a way. The pain is described as being as strong as a hurricane, and the breaking of his heart as if it were old porcelain.
The second verse continues to build on the feeling of betrayal, with the singer admitting that the idea of the "seventh heaven" is a lie, and that his "beautiful rainbow" is now black and white. He is deeply emotional and again dials his significant other's number, asking if everything they had was just an illusion.
Overall, the song portrays the raw, emotional pain of heartbreak and betrayal. The lyrics and the melody are well-matched and evoke a deep sense of sadness and confusion that is hard to shake off.
