Solo Tú
Hubert Kah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Seit Tagen dreht sich mir
Die ganze Welt im Kreis
Um rabenschwarzes Haar
Und ein Gesicht so weiß
Und mir wird kalt und heiß

Solo tu, solo tu
Ich sitz am Telefon
Solo tu, solo tu
Die Zeit läuft mir davon

Ihr Telefon ist tot
Alleine, wie ich will
Seh ich noch ganz genau
Ist alles wie im Film
Und ich bin völlig hin

Solo tu, solo tu
Ich sitz am Telefon
Solo tu, solo tu
Die Zeit läuft mir davon

Ihr Telefon ist tot
Alleine, wie ich bin
Seh ich noch ganz genau
Ist alles wie im Film
Und ich bin völlig hin

Solo tu, solo tu
Ich sitz am Telefon
Solo tu, solo tu
Die Zeit läuft mir davon
Solo tu, solo tu
Ich sitz am Telefon
Solo tu, solo tu




Die Zeit läuft mir davon
Solo tu, solo tu

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hubert Kah's song Solo Tu express a feeling of obsession and infatuation. The singer of the song confesses that his world has been spinning in circles for days, ever since he saw a woman with black hair and a white face, whom he describes as being completely mesmerizing. He seems to be trying to reach her on the phone, but her line is dead, which only makes him feel more desperate and frantic. He wishes he could talk to her, but he is left alone with his thoughts, and everything feels like a movie that he cannot escape. He is consumed by his feelings, and he cannot see anything else but this woman who has taken over his mind.


The repetition of "solo tu," which means "only you" in Italian, adds to the sense of obsession and makes it clear that the singer's entire focus is on this woman. The fact that he is sitting by the phone, waiting for her call, shows that he is completely consumed by his feelings and that he cannot move on until he talks to her. The sense of urgency and desperation is heightened by the repeated line "die Zeit läuft mir davon," which means "time is running out on me." The singer is aware that he needs to act fast, but he is paralyzed by his infatuation and cannot let go.

Seit Tagen dreht sich mir
I have been spinning for days


Die ganze Welt im Kreis
The whole world around me is spinning


Um rabenschwarzes Haar
Around jet-black hair


Und ein Gesicht so weiß
And a face so pale


Und mir wird kalt und heiß
And I feel cold and hot at the same time


Solo tu, solo tu
Only you, only you


Ich sitz am Telefon
I am sitting by the phone


Die Zeit läuft mir davon
Time is running out on me


Ihr Telefon ist tot
Her phone is dead


Alleine, wie ich will
Alone, as I desire


Seh ich noch ganz genau
I still see it very clearly


Ist alles wie im Film
It is all like in a movie


Und ich bin völlig hin
And I am completely taken by it
