Richi Lyrics Meaning Stubete Gäng | Hoodie Gääggeler
The lyrics describe Richi’s hilarious confusion as he steps into a club for the first time. One line translates to, ‘Richi, I told you to just give in to it,’ as he fumbles through dancing and flirting. The songwriter uses an excavator as a metaphor for his awkward attempts to ‘dig’ into the nightlife scene.
De richi de richi de richi isch no nieRichi, Richi, Richi has never before,
Am fritig am samschtig um d’hueser um gah ziehgone out on the town on a Friday or Saturday.
No gar nie gah tanze no niemals in e clubHe’s never gone dancing, never been to a club,
Doch huet isch de abig da gaht er z’erscht mal furtbut tonight’s the night he’s finally going out.
De richi de richi de richi de het ghoertRichi, Richi, Richi, he’s heard the word,
Im usgang wird baggeret wird baggeret wie gstoertthat in the nightlife, people ‘dig’ [flirt] like crazy.
Drum nimmt er sin bagger und fahrt vor d’ discothekSo he takes his excavator and drives to the disco,
Die liechter die musig das het er no nie gsehseeing lights and music like he’s never seen before.
Um ihn ume so viel lueuet und alli sind am schreieSo many people around him, and everyone’s screaming,
Alles dreit sich um ihn um de richi laht sich gheieeverything spins around him, and Richi lets himself go.
All am gumpe all am tanze de club isch am baebeEveryone’s jumping and dancing, the club is shaking;
Richi i ha gseit du soellsch di gaebe“Richi, I told you to just give in to it!”
De richi de richi de richi weiss ned wieRichi, Richi, Richi doesn’t know how;
Mit einere chli gred und chli glachet het er niehe’s never chatted or laughed with a girl before.
Wo eini i de maengi denn ploetzli vor ihm stahtWhen one suddenly stands before him in the crowd,
Da weiss doch de richi no gar ned wie das gahtRichi really has no idea how this works.
De richi de richi de richi isch verdatteretRichi, Richi, Richi is totally confused,
Wo sie fragt du richi hesch du denn no nie baggeretwhen she asks, “Richi, haven’t you ever ‘dug’ [flirted]?”
Sie wett ihn gaern kuesse will kuesse das isch schoenShe wants to kiss him, ’cause kissing is nice,
Am richi wird truemmlig das isch er sich ned gwoehntbut Richi gets dizzy, since he isn’t used to this.
Sie luegt ihm tueuef id auge und sie hebt ihn a de handShe looks deep in his eyes and takes him by the hand,
Chum doch emal chli noecher und de nimm mich i din arm“Come a little closer and take me in your arms.”
Doch de richi weiss noed wie drum seit sie ihm den aebeBut Richi doesn’t know how, so she tells him again,
Richi i ha gseit du soellsch di haebe“Richi, I said you need to hold on!”
So oeppis het er nie erlaebt de richi laht sich gahHe’s never seen anything like it, and Richi lets himself go,
Het vor freud grad eine und denn no mal eine gnohthrowing back a drink for joy, and then another one.
Ploetzli faht’s a druelle alls verschwuemmet und vernaebletSuddenly the room starts spinning, all blurry and hazy,
Richi i ha gseit du soellsch di haebe“Richi, I told you that you need to hold on!”
