De wos schaun auf mi
I hob siebnafuchzig Engeln
Es frogts eich wiaso so vü
I sog: Weu siebnafuchzig Engeln
Des kummt bei mia grod hi
I maan, de ham echt a Weu wos z′tuan
Weu ma schenkt si nix im Leben
Und is do längst ka junga Bua
Se schaun drauf, dass i einschlof
Wo i frira no a Nocht anghängt hätt
Und se schaun drauf, dass i beizeitn sog
Fia mia wird's Zeit, Leit, es is spät
De Typn san a Wahnsinn
Voi do und voi diskret

Und se kumman da a nia irgendwia auf bled
I hob siebnafuchzig Engeln
De wos schaun auf mi

Se schaun drauf, dass i drauf schau

The song "57 Engeln" by Kurt Ostbahn & Die Kombo speaks about the presence of 57 angels that are always watching over the singer. The singer emphasizes the number of angels, suggesting that having so many of them watching over him is a big deal. The lyrics imply that the angels are there to protect the singer and watch over him when he is sleeping to make sure he stays out of trouble. They act as guides, urging him to make responsible choices in life and follow a path that is beneficial to him.
Furthermore, the lyrics seem to indicate that the angels are there to assist the singer to navigate a complex world. They act as a sort of moral compass and encourage the singer to strive for material possessions and friends that lead to a fulfilling life. The singer seems grateful for the presence of the angels in his life as they offer him guidance and protection.
Overall, the song is a reminder that we are not alone in this world, and that there might be something looking over us, guiding us through the trials of life.
