Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Und du liebst es zu sagen, ich bin so gern frei.
Wo hier irgendwo anders hin zieh′n?
Josephine, Josephine, Josephine
Josephine, Josephine, Josephine
Dein kleiner Kopf hat die Gewalt von zweihundert Legionen,
Du hast mich und meine Festung besiegt.
Josephine, Josephine, Josephine
Josephine, Josephine, Josephine
Wer stolpert bleibt steh'n und wer steh′n bleibt nimmt in Kauf,
Dass die Spinner einem sagen "Lass das bleiben und hör' auf",
Bitte gib nichts und hör nicht auf sie,
Denn du hast Ritter und Schlösser verdient.
Josephine, Josephine, Josephine,
Du hast Ritter und Schlösser verdient.
The lyrics to Vait's song "Josephine" speak of a woman named Josephine who is depicted as being warm, free-spirited, and in control.

He then goes on to compare her to a powerful leader, one who has conquered not only him but also his fortress. Josephine is portrayed as a force to be reckoned with, one who commands respect and admiration from all those around her.
The lyrics further delve into the obstacles Josephine may face and how others may try to hold her back.
