The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Mein Herz Ist Ein Tourist" by the artist "Tonbandgerat"

Contents

In the song "Mein Herz Ist Ein Tourist" ("My Heart Is a Tourist") by the German band Tonbandgerat, the lyrical hero tells the story of his complicated relationship with a girl whose nature prevents her from staying in one place for long.

The song begins with the hero describing the euphoria of falling in love: they spend nights together, dancing, and everything seems to be going well. However, he cannot shake the feeling that their connection is short-lived. The girl openly admits that her heart is like a tourist, not staying long in any city or with any one person. She cannot promise him eternal love, and although she does not deny the possibility that he is "the one," her nature remains unchanged - "My Heart is a Tourist."

The repetition of the phrase "Her neighbors greet me / Already in the stairwell" emphasizes the fleeting nature of their relationship. He has already become a part of her life, but winter is coming, and the number of days they will spend together is dwindling. The anticipation of inevitable separation intensifies, and despite outward well-being, the lyrical hero cannot ignore the alarming signals.

The culmination is the hero's confession: "If you want my love, I'll tell you, / That it doesn't belong to anyone, not even me." This phrase can be interpreted in two ways. On the one hand, he acknowledges the strength of his love for the girl, so strong that it is beyond even his own control. On the other hand, it may be a reflection of his own fear of attachment, his fear of being abandoned.

The recurring refrain "My heart is a tourist" emphasizes the main idea of the song - the girl's freedom-loving nature will not allow her to be tied to anyone for long. The song leaves a feeling of bitterness and the inevitability of parting, but at the same time, it celebrates the beauty of fleeting feelings and freedom of choice.

Da standen wir und sind eingetaucht

Kopfüber in die Nacht

Ich wusste nicht, dass ich tanzen kann,

Doch sie hat mich dazu gebracht

Und sind wir mal ehrlich,

Läuft es gut, doch denk ich nach,

Bleibt sie nicht für immer da

Denn sie sagt:

"Mein Herz ist ein Tourist,

Bleibt nie lang

An einem Ort, bei einem Menschen.

Kann schon sein, dass du der richtige bist, doch

Mein Herz ist ein Tourist,

Mein Herz ist ein Tourist"

Ihre Nachbarn grüßen mich

Schon im Treppenhaus

Bald fällt der erste Schnee,

Und die Tage werden immer weniger,

An denen wir uns nicht sehen

Und sind wir mal ehrlich,

Läuft es gut, doch denk ich nach,

Bleibt sie nicht für immer da

Und sie sagt:

"Mein Herz ist ein Tourist,

Bleibt nie lang

An einem Ort, bei einem Menschen.

Kann schon sein, dass du der richtige bist, doch

Mein Herz ist ein Tourist,

Mein Herz ist ein Tourist"

Wenn du meine Liebe willst, dann sage ich dir,

Sie gehört keinem, nicht einmal mir

Und sie sagt:

"Mein Herz ist ein Tourist,

Bleibt nie lang

An einem Ort, bei einem Menschen.

Kann schon sein, dass du der richtige bist, doch

Mein Herz ist ein Tourist,

Mein Herz ist ein Tourist"
