Ramones
Love a Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ihr patentiert euch die Langeweile. Ihr spielt den Dummen, so oft es euch möglich ist. Ihr fahrt in Urlaub, damit ihr raus kommt, doch leider kommt ihr immer wieder heim. Fahrt doch mal ganz weit fort und bleibt bitte dort.
Ihr seid so hässlich in euren Herzen. Es macht mich traurig, was ihr Leben nennt. Ihr tapeziert gerne in euren Heimen. Ihr seid die richtigen Leute für den falschen Job.

Ihr seid nicht die RAMONES, denkt euch was neues aus. Alles, was ihr heute sagt, war gestern schon gelogen. Die Blätter an den Bäumen bleiben unbeschrieben und das Lieblingsspiel des Maulwurfs heißt Blinde Kuh.

Was denkt ihr euch? Denkt ihr überhaupt? Ihr fahrt zum Baumarkt und kauft euch Kantholz, entspannt bei Comedy trotz Hypothek. Ihr baut Swimmingpools für eure Brut, doch die ertrinkt da viel zu selten drin.

Ihr seid nicht die RAMONES, denkt euch was neues aus. Alles, was ihr heute sagt, war gestern schon gelogen. Die Blätter an den Bäumen bleiben unbeschrieben und das Lieblingsspiel des Maulwurfs heißt Blinde Kuh.
Denkt euch was neues aus. So kann es nicht weitergehen.





Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Love A's song "Ramones" are a commentary on societal norms and the pressures of conforming to them. The lyrics highlight the monotony of everyday life, the emptiness of material possessions, and the lack of originality in modern society. It criticizes people who seem content with their mundane routine, and lack any drive to break away from it. The song urges them to think for themselves and come up with something new.


The first paragraph of the lyrics talks about how people patent their boredom, playing dumb and going on vacation to escape reality. However, they always return home. The singer urges the audience to travel far away and stay there, hoping this will give them a fresh perspective. The second paragraph touches on the ugliness that resides in people's hearts, highlighting that their lives lack anything meaningful or fulfilling. The final line states that they are the right people for the wrong job, meaning that they are simply going through the motions of life without any real purpose or passion.


The chorus of the song repeats the message that people need to come up with something new and break away from the mundane. It emphasizes the point that everything people say today has already been said before and adds that the trees' leaves remain unwritten, and the mole's favorite game is blind man's bluff. The last paragraph tells people to think for themselves and break the mold, urging them to come up with something new to move forward.

Have I ever told you How good it feels to hold you
It isn't easy to explain

And though I'm really trying I think I may stop crying
My heart can't wait another day When you kiss me I just gotta
Kiss me I just gotta Kiss me I just gotta say

Baby I love you C'mon baby
Baby I love you Ooh-wee-ooh baby
Baby I love I love only you

I can't live without you I love everythinh about you
I can't help it if I feel this way

Oh, I'm so glad I found you I want my arms around you
I love to hear you call my name Oh, tell me that ya feel
Tell me that ya feel Tell me that ya feel the same

Baby I love you C'mon baby
Baby I love you Ooh-wee-ooh baby

I love to hear you call my name Oh, tell me that ya feel

Siempre te he dicho
Lo bien que se siente abrazarte
No es tan facil de explicar
Y aunque realmente sigo intentando
Creo que comenzaré a llorar
Mi corazón no puede esperar otro dia mas
Cuando me besas solo consigo, me besas solo consigo, me besas solo consigo decir...

(Nena, te amo) Vamos nena!
(Nena, te amo) Soplado en el cielo
Nena te amo, te amo solo a ti

No puedo vivir sin ti
Amo todo lo que hay en ti
No puedo evitarlo si lo siento asi
Oh, estoy tan contento de haberte enc

My dad absolutely loved The Ramones. He sadly passed away in early August this year. This played at his funeral and it was absolutely beautiful. I don't think I'll ever be able to this song and not cry.

I love how a punk band can make this type of music and to be honest, it’s probably the best soft song I’ve ever heard

@demitrisalloum5131

the fact that it's a cover makes this statement kind of ironic

@gregoryblomberg40

Joey sang but no one else played on this tune

@daviddonnelly3871
