Wirtslied
Jan Hegenberg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trigardon hat sechs Wirte da bist’e platt
Die machen dich sogar mit Resten satt
Es fliest das Bier der Wein ins Glas
Den Teller füllt nur der beste Fraß
Ref.:
Ein Hoch auf die Exkredenzen
Heut’ Abend saufen wir ohne Grenzen
Ein Hoch auf die Exkredenzen
Wer hier nicht satt wird und durst noch verspürt
Wen das bechern nicht ständig auf’s Pinkelhaus führt
Der ist uns'ren Wirten nicht würdig erwiesen
Trigardon dein Eid sei gepriesen
Trigardon dein Eid sei gepriesen
Ref.
Wer kann hier noch stehen wer kann noch gehen
Und alles einfach statt doppelt sehen
Wessen Krug ist vertrocknet, öde und leer
Der rufe dat Inge zum nachschenken her
Ref.
Dat Helga die selber nie nüchtern bleibt
Den festen Trinker ins Koma treibt
Die füllt deinen Magen mit Bier
So rate ich lass Kupfer lass Silber hier
Ref.
Und denkst du daran die Zeche zu prellen
Und dich leise besoffen davon zu stehlen
Dann wird dich der Leo was besseres lehr’n
Und er wird dir so einiges Arges bescher’n
Ref.
Ihr habt’s nun vernommen, hebt eure Humpen
Und seid uns willkommen, nehmet an unserem Glücke teil
Ja,
Pest auf, Tod für und Heyl!
Pest auf, Tod für und Heyl!
The song "Wirtslied" by Jan Hegenberg is all about celebrating the joy of drinking and eating in a tavern. The song opens with a reference to Trigardon, which is a fictional place that has six taverns. The singer suggests that these bars are so good that they can make you full even with leftovers. The taverns also serve good wine and beer, and the food is top-notch.
The chorus of the song celebrates the idea of drinking without limits, with a toast to "Exkredenzen," which is a German term for debts incurred while drinking. The singer also suggests that if someone cannot get full after eating in these taverns or doesn't have to go to the bathroom after drinking, they don't deserve to be there.
Towards the end of the song, the singer warns against skipping out on the bill and getting drunk quietly. He tells the listener to enjoy the company of other drunk people, and to immerse themselves in the joy of imbibing.
Overall, "Wirtslied" is a catchy and humorous song that captures the essence of drinking culture in a tavern in a smart and insightful way.
