Auf Uns

Andreas Bourani's 'Auf Uns' is a song that captures the essence of celebration, unity, and the preciousness of the present moment. The lyrics freeze a moment in time, highlighting the importance of cherishing the here and now, and acknowledging the journey that has led to this point. Bourani speaks to the shared experiences of joy and sorrow, emphasizing that these experiences are what bind people together. The song suggests that as long as hearts are in control, this unity and support for one another will persist.

The chorus of 'Auf Uns' is a toast to life, to the moment that remains forever, and to a sense of eternal connection. It is an anthem that encourages listeners to raise a glass to what lies ahead, to the best that is yet to come, and to the bond that unites everyone. The song celebrates life and the infinite day that is both now and forever. The repetition of 'Ein Hoch auf uns' (A toast to us) reinforces the communal spirit and the collective joy of existence.

Bourani uses metaphors like 'Ein Feuerwerk aus Endorphinen' (A firework of endorphins) to describe the euphoric feeling that comes with these moments of unity and celebration. The imagery of fireworks lighting up the night sky symbolizes the lasting impact of these moments, making them unforgettable and 'unsterblich' (immortal). The song is a reminder that life is full of such moments that deserve to be celebrated and remembered, and it encourages listeners to embrace the beauty of life and the connections they share with others.
