Summer Wine
Gry with F.M. Einheit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A song that I had only sung for just a few
She saw my silver spurs and said lets pass some time
And I will give to you summer wine
Oh, summer wine
(Gry)
Strawberry, cherries, and an angle kissin spring
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I shall give to you summer wine
Oh, summer win
Alexander Hacke
My eyes grew heavy and my lips they would not speak
I tried to get up but I could find my feet
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
And when she gave to me more summer wine
Oh, summer wine
(Gry)
Strawberry, cherries, and an angle kissin spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I shall give to you summer wine
Oh, summer wine
Alexander Hacke
When I woke up the sun was shinning in my eyes
My silver spurs were gone, my head felt twice it size
She took my silver spurs-the dollar and the dime
And left me cravein for summer wine
Oh, summer wine
(Gry)
Strawberry, cherries, and an angle kissin spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I shall give to you summer wine
Oh, summer wine
The lyrics to FM Einheit's "Summer Wine" narrate a story of a man who walks into town with his silver spurs jingling, and meets with a woman who offers to share her summer wine with him. The song expresses the notion of fleeting pleasure and the loss that one can encounter after a brief moment of ecstasy. The woman invites him to enjoy the taste of summer wine, which is made from strawberries, cherries, and an angel's kiss in spring. The silver spurs symbolize his freedom and independence, but by removing them, he enters into a state of carefree leisure with the woman.
As the night progresses, the singer's eyes grow heavy and his lips do not speak, perhaps insinuating that he's had too much of the summer wine. The woman reassures him with an unfamiliar line, and paves the way for more indulgence. The next morning, the man awakes to find that his silver spurs and money are gone, leaving him wanting more of the summer wine that he enjoyed a little too much.
Overall, the song "Summer Wine" celebrates the fleeting pleasures of youth and the desire for temporal indulgence while simultaneously expressing the pain that often follows such satisfaction.

Walked into town on silver spurs that jingle too
I arrived in town wearing my silver spurs that make a distinct sound
A song that I had only sung for just a few
I knew a song that I hadn't sang very often
She saw my silver spurs and said lets pass some time
She noticed my spurs and suggested we spend some time together
And I will give to you summer wine
And I will offer you my special drink, summer wine
My eyes grew heavy and my lips they would not speak
I became tired and couldn't speak
I tried to get up but I could find my feet
I attempted to stand but couldn't get my footing
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
She comforted me with a phrase I didn't recognize
And when she gave to me more summer wine
And when she offered me more of her special drink, summer wine
When I woke up the sun was shinning in my eyes
When I awakened, the sun was bright in my face
My silver spurs were gone, my head felt twice it size
My spurs were missing and I had a headache
She took my silver spurs-the dollar and the dime
She took my spurs and some of my money
And left me cravein for summer wine
And left me wanting more of her special drink, summer wine
