Von Liebe ka Spur
Wolfgang Ambros Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wie i aufwach und mi umdrah
da merk i du bist weg
ohne a Wort bist du fort
es is scho klar, du brauchst mi ned
um Erlaubnis fragn
Wiast kommen bist, bist gangen
ohne was zum sagen
Es is no so a Duft von dein Parfum in da Luft
rundherum da letzte Rest vom Fest
A halbe Flaschn Sekt im Eck
Vor'm Bett verstreutes G'wand
Warum hast es so eilig g'habt
jetzt war'ma no beinand

Wann ma aufwacht in da fruah
is von Liebe ka Spur
ma nimmt si ned die Zeit
für a halbe Stund zu zweit
A neicha Tag beginnt
die Nacht vorher vergisst ma g'schwind
Ma putzt si no die Zend
Und damit hat die Gschicht ihr End

Wie die andern alle z'haus gfahrn san
da hast du gsagt: "i bleib;
bei mir daham gibt's kan, der auf mi wart'"
was nacher war, war wundersche
du hast mir soviel geben
nur i dir offensichtlich ned
naja was soll's, so is des Leben

Wann ma aufwacht in da fruah
is von Liebe ka Spur
ma nimmt si ned die Zeit
für a halbe Stund zu zweit
A neicha Tag beginnt
die Nacht vorher vergisst ma g'schwind




Ma putzt si no die Zend
Und damit hat die Gschicht ihr End

Overall Meaning

The song "Von Liebe ka Spur" (No trace of love) by Wolfgang Ambros speaks about a one-night stand in which the singer wakes up alone in bed after having spent the night with someone who left without saying a word. Although there are still signs of the night before, such as the scent of the woman's perfume and scattered clothes, there is no trace of love. The singer is left feeling used and unimportant, realizing that the woman didn't need his permission to leave or even say goodbye. The chorus repeats that there is no trace of love when he wakes up in the morning, and he doesn't take the time to spend a half hour with her before starting a new day.


The second verse reveals more about the night they shared. The woman stayed while the others left, saying that no one was waiting for her at home. The singer thought it was wonderful that she stayed and gave him so much, but it was clear that he didn't return the feelings. The song ends with the realization that the story is over, and the singer cleans up and moves on. The lyrics leave the listener to ponder the emptiness of casual encounters and the hollowness of one-night stands.

Ich liebe Wolfgang Ambros. Er ist ein Original mit Ecken und Kanten. Er hat soviel Gefühl in seiner Stimme. Er deckt soviel thematisch ab und ist immer Spitze. Ich verweise auf Der Hofer wars, oder Der Zentralfriedhof. Corinna Corinna geht mir ans Herz. Wolferl, wir lieben dich so wie du bist.
