D'Red
Sophie Hunger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I ha aui Prognose
U kennä ke Affäkt
I bruche dini Rose
Aber ha so viu Respäkt

So winki dä Matrose
Sie si immer nöi
Wär o gärn nöi gebore
Gedankelos allei

I ha gar nüt z´säge hie
Drum frag etzt nüme na
I ha gar nüt z´sage hie
O wenn du meinsch das i das cha

Zwüsche hie u jetzt liet
Aus wo nid isch worde
Zwüsche hie u jetzt liet
Aus wo nid isch gsi
Frag nid nach mim Wahre
La mir so viu Würd
Aues het u het kei Sinn

I wet dir so viu sägä hie
Drum frag u la nid los




I wet dir so viu säg hie
Frag u la nid los

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sophie Hunger's song D'Red convey a sense of introspection, contemplation and uncertainty. The opening verse "I ha aui Prognose, U kennä ke Affäkt, I bruche dini Rose, Aber ha so viu Respäkt" roughly translates to "I have all the predictions but no effect, I need your rose but I have so much respect". These lines suggest that the singer has all the information about what's going on but lacks the ability to make a meaningful impact, necessitating the need for something beautiful and calming, notably a rose, to soothe their worries.


The second verse then talks about a sailor who is always looking for something new, which he hopes will cure his ennui. Though it's not clear why this is important, it suggests that the singer is searching for meaning or novelty, something harder to achieve than they had assumed. The chorus "I ha gar nüt z'säge hie, Drum frag etzt nüme na, I ha gar nüt z'sage hie, O wenn du meinsch das i das cha," continually reiterates that the singer does not have much to say, even if it's asked of them. There is one more verse, further reinforcing the idea that the singer is searching for something and struggling with what they should say, yet they still have nothing concrete.


Overall, the song appears to be about uncertainty, searching, a sense of the transitional nature of things, and fearing that one may not have much to show even though they have all the potential. It's a song about the struggle to be oneself, even if one doesn't know who that is yet.

I have all prognoses I dont know any affect
I need your roses but 
have so much respect 
So I wave at the seamen. 
they are always new
Would also gladly been born newly
Thoughtslessly alone
I dont have to say much here
So dont ask again
I dont have to say much here
Althought you think that I can do so
Between here and now lies everthing that didnt come true. 
Between here and now lyies everthing that wasnt meant to be
Dont ask for my true self
Let me as much dignity
Everthing has and has no sense
I want to tell you so much here therefore ask and dont let go. 
I want to tell you so much here therefore ask and dont let go.

Unfortunately i don't speak german and not even swiss-german... but this song goes to the deepest place in my heart. So it is because of this kind of situation that i say that music has no boundaries. May music unite us all. Peace from Dominican Republic.

Greetings from Chile amigo mio :)

@onetrickpony2236

Same here. It makes me cry whenever I listen to it and whatever mood I am in. It`s beautiful. I am German, only understand half of what she sings - but no need to search for the lyrics, it works without.

@blimao86

I don't speak German either and I agree...this music is just so gorgeous. When you can't understand the meaning of what is spoken, Sophie's voice just becomes another instrument and a most elegant, tenured one at that! Bravo from the United States!

@marcjanssens4248

Grâce, talent, intelligence, chaleur de la voix ; que demander de plus ? Et une interprétation de "Ne me quitte pas" de Brel, que le maître lui-même n'aurait pas reniée ...

@chileanseataji4205

Sigo a Sophie hace 10 años, es tan talentosa e infravalorada... saludos desde Chile

@emmaa6837

FINALLY I found this song again After years of search ✨

@lioneldupas

Comment ne pas aimer Sophie Hunger ? Les fées se sont penchées sur son berceau et lui ont tout donné : le talent, la voix, le charme.
