Manillio Lyrics

Amene Tag wo aues wine Stoppstrass schint,
On a day where everything seems to be in chaos,

wit vom richtig Lottoschiin,
despite not having won the lottery jackpot,

schnänkt mä sich ä chli Brodaux ii,
we treat ourselves to a little luxury,

doch am auer auer auer liebste am nä Tag wo aus chopfstat.
but above all, my dearest, is the day after losing my mind.

Auues schint wine Stoppstrass, kene richtig im Lotto,
Everything seems hopeless, as if we hit a dead end, and still no lottery jackpot win,

het mä sich a was grad so geid,
in spite of this, we're content with where we are,

doch am liebste hebi mi a di.
but above all, my dearest, I love being with you.

Wi chame nur haut gfunde ha,
We wonder how we managed to find happiness in the age where social media updates every second,

bevormä Socialmedia im haubstundetakt het akutalisiert,
Before social media took control of our lives,

sich ghebt het ame Iphone mit Fotos vore cc-tante.
and people were content with just showing their photos to close relatives.

Mir rede über Bizepsgränze,
We talk about things like bicep measurements,

i Fitnesszäntre, aus Usglich zum Bürojob.
at fitness centers, as a way of balancing the pressures of our 9-5 jobs.

Findet sich im Grossrumjoga,
We find ourselves practicing yoga in large groups,

schikt si Schosshund zum nä Psycholog.
Even sending our lap dogs to therapy.

Lüt häbe sich a Wiskyfläsche,
People turn to whiskey bottles,

wend d'Wäut schnäu dräit cha eim schwindlig wärde,
As a way to cope with the dizzying pace of the world,

herti Jungs hebe sich a Gwicht aber ii –
While strong guys lift weights,

wände mi a Fründe, lüte-ä-nä ahh,
I want to be with friends, people who make me feel alive,

sitze id Bar, vertrinke ir Nacht,
Sitting in a bar, drinking the night away,

ds Händy ir Hand,
But, even with our phones in our hand,

wo dr ganz Tag bli-bla blinkt,
constantly beeping with notifications all day long,

doch am liebste häbi mi a di.
but above all, my dearest, I love being with you.

Wime ohni festi Jobs glich gut läbt,
Living well without a steady job,

schtaat nid im Betty Bossy.
Not relying on Betty Bossy (the Swiss version of Martha Stewart) for a perfect life.

Miter Wohning wi us selbi Foto klappt ds o nid ohni Banküberfall.
Getting a living space that's Instagram-ready without robbing a bank.

Wahn über aus, louft nid nach Plan,
Life is unpredictable, and doesn't follow a script,

we Zeiche uf Sturm dr Schiffsmascht knackst
Like signs of a storm breaking the ship's mast,

find Notfau haut am nä Pizzarand,
But even in the worst of times, we can find comfort in a slice of pizza,

doch faus nid -
for a moment, forgetting our troubles.

wände mi a Fründe, lüte-ä-nä ahh,
I want to be with friends, people who make me feel alive,

sitze id Bar, vertrinke ir Nacht,
Sitting in a bar, drinking the night away,

ds Glas idr Hand,
holding a glass in our hand,

ke Plan wasi gmischt ha da drin aber shii.
without any idea of what's mixed in there,

ii, wände mi a Fründe, lüte-ä-nä ahh,
I want to be with friends, people who make me feel alive,

sitze id Bar, vertrinke ir Nacht,
Sitting in a bar, drinking the night away,

ds Händy ir Hand, wo dr ganz Tag bli-bla blinkt,
But, even with our phones in our hand, constantly beeping with notifications all day long,

doch am liebste häbi mi a dii.
but above all, my dearest, I love being with you.
