Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ja, heit is wos los, do drüben sitzt de Schulze Lola,
de geh i heit frontal o, de lod i ei zum Whisky Cola.
Mogst Du meinen Körper, glaabst Du, i bin sexy,
kimm, und gib mir doch Bescheid!

Heaven on the seventh floor, and I've never been so high bevore.*

Ja, nobel is so a Diskothek, do drüben sitzt a Dame,
wia's aa so schee hergricht is, ois wia in der Reklame.
Und wia's aa so schee lächln tuat, so schee ois wia a Gräfin,
do check i glei amoi hi zu ihr und sog, hey, sog amoi, Chefin,
Mogst Du meinen Körper,
glaabst du, i bin sexy,

Dicker Popo, runder Buckel, was bist du für'n schlimmer Schnuckel,
soll ich heute mit dir gehn? Hoppla, da kann was geschehn!

Doch hoit kurz inne, bevor wir uns weiteramüsieren,
gib mir zwanzg Pfenning, i muaß mei Mammi antelefonieren,
i sog:
Mogst Du meinen Körper,
glaabst du, i bin sexy,
kimm, und gib mir doch Bescheid!

So much heaven we got, just the hour bevore,
high as a mountain, but harder to climb.*

Hello, Hellei, servas Sepp, wos host du do heit im Schlepp,
huh, vergiß es!

Ja, sog, wos machst denn du so, bist du bei einer Firma,

If you like my body, and you think I'm sexy, come on, sugar,
let me know!*
Mogst du meinen Körper, glaabst du, i bin sexy,
kimm und gib mir doch Bescheid!

Overall Meaning

The song "Disco" by Ringsgwandl is a playful and upbeat reflection on the nightclub scene of the 1980s. The lyrics describe a night out at a fancy discotheque, where the singer is hoping to catch the attention of a glamorous woman across the room. He's confident in his own attractiveness, asking her if she likes his body and if she thinks he's sexy. Despite his bravado, he takes a moment to pause and call his mother before continuing his pursuit of the object of his desire. The chorus repeats the question, "Mogst Du meinen Körper, glaabst Du, i bin sexy, kimm, und gib mir doch Bescheid!" which translates to "Do you like my body, do you think I'm sexy, come and let me know!" The song ends with a humorous exchange between the singer and a friend, discussing their respective jobs and social circles.
