Broken Hearts For You And Me
Trio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Es ist Zeit für etwas Flottes
Stimmung, gute Laune
Die Damen in den Innenkreis
Die Herren in den Außenkreis
In Gegenrichtung, Marsch, Fox

And the monkey wrapped his tail around the flagpole
To show his asshole
To the one, two, three

Broken hearts for you and me

I guess we agree
The party's over now, it's plain to see
Broken hearts for you and me

Why should we stay?
You know it's better if we go our own ways
Broken hearts for you and me

We tried our best
Too little future, though, and too much past
Broken hearts for you and me

Don't you cry
Kiss me good-bye
Broken hearts for you and me

We made so many mistakes
We know it better now, but it's too late
Broken hearts for you and me

Why should we stay?
You know it's better if we go our own ways
Broken hearts for you and me

Don't you cry yi-yi-yi
Just kiss me goodbye yi-yi-yi
You know why yi-yi-yi there are
Broken hearts for you and me

Don't you cry yi-yi-yi
Just kiss me goodbye yi-yi-yi
You know why yi-yi-yi

So don't you cry yi-yi-yi
So don't you cry yi-yi-yi
Bye, bye, bye, bye yi-yi-yi
Bye, bye, bye, bye yi-yi-yi

Don't cry yi-yi-yi yi-yi-yi yi-yi-yi-yi-yi
Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi
You know why yi-yi-yi




You know why yi-yi-yi there are
Broken hearts

Overall Meaning

The song "Broken Hearts For You And Me" by Trio is a melancholic reflection on the end of a relationship. The first stanza sets the tone for a change in mood, signaling a upbeat tempo, and encouraging people to join in the dance. The German lyrics translate to, "It's time for something lively, atmosphere, good mood. The ladies in the inner circle, the men in the outer circle. In the opposite direction, march, fox." The following lines shift the focus to a monkey, highlighting its irreverent behavior, wrapping its tail around a flagpole to show off his behind to the onlookers.


The chorus then breaks into the English language, with the repeated phrase, "Broken hearts for you and me." The lyrics express a mutual understanding of the state of their relationship, with the couple acknowledging that their affair has come to an end. The lines "The party's over now, it's plain to see. Broken hearts for you and me" signal that the good times have passed, and they must now accept the consequences of their decisions. The repeated line "Why should we stay?" implies that they have reached a point of no return, and it's time to go their separate ways. The final lines "Don't you cry, kiss me good-bye" indicate a bittersweet ending to the relationship.

This is my favourite band right now. This album came out 40 years ago, but I found them this month. It may be minimalistic on the surface but actually, their songs are very deep, both in the music itself but also the lyrics

@memyselfandi_69

They were really great. Yes, minimalistic but deep. A lot of people never understood them and just liked their " Hit" Da da da

@maxhoward9172

They are excellent. My oldest brother brought back a cassette from Europe in the late 80s. Have been a fan since

@Astardis1

The "best" idea 40 years ago was to print the REAL (!!!!!!) phone number of their private home on an album that went straight into the top 10.

@alienzardsketter.9076
