I han e wohnig wo mr gfaut u i ha mr e meersou gkouft
U irgendwenn hani begriffe dass es witergeit
D'zit isch en auti maschine wo louft u louft u louft
U jitz loufen i wieder mit
Mau chli füre u mau chli zrügg
U bi mau chli hie u da u gumpe drii u wieder druus
I loufe eifach so chli mit u bi geng grad e haube schritt am blues voruus
Chumm mach dr mau um mi nid z'viu gedanke
Es isch doch schön gsii u beröiie teun'i nüt
Höchschtens das wo när no aus isch cho - das hött i nid bruucht
Aber gloub mr jitz bin i wieder ziemli bi de lüt -
Gloub mr jitz bin i wieder viu viu besser druffe
I rasiere mi wieder u trinke nume no ir nacht -
I flicke jede zwöit tag d'stereoalag vore nachbarin
Wo äuä nidemau di hätt iiversüchtig gmacht
The lyrics to ZüriWest's song "Blues" touch upon a sense of personal progression and moving forward after a period of difficulty. The singer describes how things have become much better for them recently, with a new home and a new car. They have also come to grips with the passing of time, recognizing it as an old machine that simply continues to run forward. The singer then describes how they are rediscovering themselves, taking small steps forward and backwards, hopping from one place to another, all while walking along to the sounds of the blues.
The singer then addresses their listener, telling them to not think too much about their current situation. They reminisce that everything has been wonderful and they don't want to think about the past anymore. They proceed to reflect on their personal growth, letting the listener know that they are much better than they were before. They are starting to shave and drink again, and they are even repairing items around the house such as the stereo for the neighbor. The singer has regained their sense of confidence and direction, and they are determined to keep moving forward.
