Hahnpfalz
Hubert Von Goisern Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The song "Hahnpfalz" by Hubert Von Goisern is a traditional Austrian folk song that tells the story of someone who wishes to visit Hahnpfalz, a place in Austria. The song is essentially a call to action, with the singer urging himself to wake up early and set out on his journey. The lyrics emphasize the importance of seizing the day, by waking up at the crack of dawn and being productive. We hear the symbol of a rooster crowing, which is a common trope in folk songs, marking the start of a new day and urging the singer to get moving.
As the lyrics progress, we hear a description of a "Schüldhahn," or a rooster with beautiful black and white feathers, who perhaps serves as a metaphor for the beauty of the natural world the singer will encounter on his journey. The song inspires a sense of wonder and adventure in the listener, urging them to step outside of their comfort zone and explore the beauty of the world around them.
Overall, "Hahnpfalz" is a song of encouragement and inspiration, urging listeners to embrace each new day with enthusiasm and take advantage of the opportunities life has to offer.
