Truck Stop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
und der Kaktus feurig sticht;
wo Kojoten einsam heulen
wenn die Abendsonne bricht;
wo die Geier gierig kreisen
wenn ein Mann vom Pony kippt;
wo es morgens schon zum Frühstück
reichlich blaue Bohnen gibt:
Arizona
Arizona
alles klar!
Alle wollen in den Westen
war'n im Traum schon immer da.
Arizona
Arizona
Cowboyträume unerreicht.
Doch ich schwör' dir
irgendwann mal
düs' ich über'n großen Teich.
Wo das Maultier störrisch meckert
weil es kein'n Tequila kriegt;
wo der alte Medizinmann
mit dem Geist von Elvis spricht;
wo das Wiehern wilder Pferde
von den Bergen widerhallt;
wo die Sonne ohne Gnade
auf die Cowboyhüte knallt:
Arizona...
Arizona...
Truck Stop's song "Arizona Arizona" is an ode to the wild west and the state of Arizona. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the rugged landscape with its fearsome wildlife, including rattlesnakes, cacti, and coyotes. The mention of blue beans for breakfast conjures an image of cowboys sitting around a campfire, sharing a meal.
The song speaks to the allure of the west, with its cowboy dreams that seem unattainable for many. The singer confesses that he shares these dreams, but he also acknowledges that he may never make it there. Instead, he promises to cross the great ocean someday.
The references to Tequila, Elvis, and wild horses all add to the ambiance of the song, creating a sense of nostalgia and longing for a simpler time. The lyrics capture the essence of the American West, with its vast expanses and rugged individualism.

Wo die Klapperschlange klappert
und der Kaktus feurig sticht;
Where the rattlesnake rattles
and the cactus burns;
wo Kojoten einsam heulen
wenn die Abendsonne bricht;
where coyotes howl alone
when the evening sun breaks;
wo die Geier gierig kreisen
wenn ein Mann vom Pony kippt;
where vultures circle greedily
when a man falls from his horse;
wo es morgens schon zum Frühstück
reichlich blaue Bohnen gibt:
where there are plenty of blue beans for breakfast
early in the morning:
Arizona
Arizona
alles klar!
Arizona
Arizona
all right!
Alle wollen in den Westen
war'n im Traum schon immer da.
Everyone wants to go west
they have always been in their dreams.

echoes from the mountains;

auf die Cowboyhüte knallt:
where the sun mercilessly
beats down on cowboy hats:
Arizona...
Arizona...
Arizona...
Arizona...
