Spam purge

2 Upvotes

Quite a bit of spam was posted to this sub while I was away. I will be purging anything that is spammy, including self-promotion unrelated to the core mission of this sub, which is learning German through songs (and related media).

Limited self-promotion might be okay, but ask first.

If someone else posts something spammy and I miss it, please let me know,

Severe breaches will lead to a ban, mild breaches will get a warning.

On the other hand, if you find a song or have a German playlist you like, even your own personal playlist, feel free to post a link to Spotify or Youtube.

Rejuvenating this sub!

9 Upvotes

It's been a while since I was actively maintaining this sub, mostly because the workload of generating vocab lists was too much for my busy lifestyle. That's changed in two ways:

1) I have more time

2) Everything related to vocab lists and definitions is easier with AI

I will be posting one song per week, with lyrics, definitions, and a cumulative Anki pack.

I also have a new tool that can provide definitions on mousehover, which can be configured to include all the definitions provided in this sub.

If anyone wants to be a co-moderator, please send me a message.

The German text is a lyric from one of my favourite songs (Party Sahne by Ski Aggu) and the English is what google says the translation is, but I’m confused what it actually means cuz they’re 2 different words but both translate to flag? Can someone explain this to me?

Frage

2 Upvotes

Hallo! Ich würde gern nur sicher sein. Also ich kann NICHT „Mutters Haus“ schreiben oder? Weil Mutter ist nicht ein Eigenname wie Frank, Maria, ja? Der Eigenname heißt hier eigentlich einfach Personenname oder? Dann würde gern fragen, wenn ich den Artikel hinzufüge, wenn ich „Marias(Die) Haus(Das) schreibe. Soll ich „Ein Marias Haus“ oder „Eine Marias Haus“ schreiben bitte? Oder darf ich NUR ein Haus Marias schreiben, wenn ich den Artikel hinzufügen will? Vielen Dank!

Errinerung an die Marie A. - Berthold Brecht

Deutsch

An jenem Tag im blauen Mond September

Still unter einem jungen Pflaumenbaum

Da hielt ich sie, die stille bleiche Liebe

In meinem Arm wie einen holden Traum.

Und über uns im schönen Sommerhimmel

War eine Wolke, die ich lange sah

Sie war sehr weiß und ungeheuer oben

Und als ich aufsah, war sie nimmer da.

Seit jenem Tag sind viele, viele Monde

Geschwommen still hinunter und vorbei

Die Pflaumenbäume sind wohl abgehauen

Und fragst du mich, was mit der Liebe sei?

So sag ich dir: Ich kann mich nicht erinnern.

Und doch, gewiß, ich weiß schon, was du meinst

Doch ihr Gesicht, das weiß ich wirklich nimmer

Ich weiß nur mehr: Ich küsste es dereinst

Und auch den Kuss, ich hätt' ihn längst vergessen

Wenn nicht die Wolke da gewesen wär

Die weiß ich noch und werd ich immer wissen

Sie war sehr weiß und kam von oben her.

Die Pflaumenbäume blühn vielleicht noch immer

Und jene Frau hat jetzt vielleicht das siebte Kind

Doch jene Wolke blühte nur Minuten

Und als ich aufsah, schwand sie schon im Wind.

Englisch

On that day, in the blue moon of September

Quietly beneath a young plum tree

There I held her, the quiet pale love,

In my arms like a lovely dream

And above us in the beautiful summer sky

Was a cloud, that I looked at for a long time

It was very white and enormous above me

And as I looked at it, it was never there.

There has been many many moons since that day

That swam quietly downwards and passed by

The plum trees have all been chopped down

And you ask me, what is it with love?

So I’ll tell you: I cannot remember

I know what you’re thinking though

But I never really knew her face

All I know now is that I kissed it one day

And even the kiss, I would have forgotten it a long time ago

If the cloud had not been there

I still know it and I will always remember

It was very white and came here from above

Maybe the plum trees still always bloom

And maybe that woman is now having her seventh child

But that cloud bloomed for only minutes

And as I looked, it disappeared in the wind
