un är vrbringt sini tage a dr kasse
si wird mau rächtsawalt
un är schaffet jede donnschtig abe ging no ar kasse
wo si emau dür d migros düre louft
u sich es geodrüegg chouft
u ihn het gseh
si isch fasch chli verläge worde
är het e job i dr migros
u si studiert a dr uni z bärn
si hei nang lehre kenne
i dr migros
das isch e wunderschöni liebesgschicht
wo hützutags nur leider rar u sälten isch
oder e zuefall isch
si heisst julia u är isch kei romeo
u das isch ds schöne dra – drum verzeuis ja
u ging we si jitz iichöif macht
u weiss wär a dr kasse lacht
si zaut bi däm wo ihre so gfaut – u weiss no genau
wie si isch närvös worde wo si ihn het gseh
är het e job i dr migros
u si studiert a dr uni z bärn
si hei nang lehre kenne i dr migros
si hei ja schwein gha dass denn grad dr amor
dür d migros düre louft – u sich nöii pfile chouft
a sim boge schriisst u eifach mau druflos schiesst
e so chas eim ga – i dr migros
hüt sy si glücklech u froh
är fahrt e fiat uno u si ne mercedes benz
si het e grosse lohn u är schmöckt nach pitralon
am samschtig schafft är o si sitzt im migrosrestaurant
är het e job i dr migros
u si studiert a dr uni z bärn
si hei nang lehre kenne i dr migros
das isch e schöni gschicht wo hützutags
leider nur no sälten isch
u höchstens kitschig isch
wär s gloubt wird ehrlech
am shakespeare chöme d träne
vom himmu oben abe
dür d backen ab un är schribt es buech
verdient millione
u hett e job ir migros
si het ne gärn u das so oder so ...
The lyrics of Florian Ast's song "Migros" tell the story of a couple who met while working at the Swiss retailer Migros. The verses describe the daily routine of the two protagonists, a man and a woman who have very different lifestyles: he spends his days at the cash register and dreams of becoming a lawyer, while she studies at the University of Bern and works part-time at the same store. The chorus reveals that the two are in love, and that they owe their happiness to Migros, which brought them together.
The lyrics are full of details about the daily life of the two characters. The woman is described as being nervous and shy when she first sees the man, and the fact that he works at Migros seems to make him more approachable to her. The song celebrates the simple pleasures of life: buying groceries, going out for coffee, and enjoying the company of loved ones. The refrain ("er het e job i dr Migros / u si studiert a dr Uni z Bärn / si hei nang Lehre kenne / i dr Migros") is repeated over and over again, emphasizing the central role that Migros plays in the couple's story.
Overall, "Migros" is a song about finding love in unexpected places and appreciating the small things in life. It celebrates the idea that happiness can be found anywhere, even in a grocery store.
