Sieben Tage Lang

The song 'Sieben Tage Lang' by Bots is a powerful anthem that emphasizes unity, hard work, and resilience. The repeated question, 'Was wollen wir trinken sieben Tage lang?' (What do we want to drink for seven days?), sets the tone for a communal experience. The lyrics suggest that there will be enough for everyone, highlighting a sense of abundance and shared resources. This communal drinking is not just about consumption but about togetherness, as indicated by the lines 'Wir trinken zusammen, nicht allein!' (We drink together, not alone!). The act of rolling in the barrel symbolizes preparation and collective effort.

The song then transitions to the theme of work with 'Dann wollen wir schaffen sieben Tage lang' (Then we want to work for seven days). This line underscores the importance of collective labor and the joy that can be found in working together. The phrase 'Und das wird keine Plackerei!' (And it won't be drudgery!) suggests that the work will be fulfilling and not burdensome. The repetition of 'Ja schaffen zusammen nicht allein!' (Yes, work together, not alone!) reinforces the idea that unity makes the effort more manageable and enjoyable.

Finally, the song addresses the need for struggle and resistance with 'Jetzt müssen wir streiten keiner weis wie lang' (Now we must fight, no one knows how long). This line speaks to the uncertainties and challenges of life but also to the importance of fighting for a life without oppression ('Ja für ein leben ohne Zwang'). The song concludes with a message of solidarity: 'Wir halten zusammen keiner kämpft allein!' (We stick together, no one fights alone!). This powerful ending encapsulates the essence of the song—unity, resilience, and the strength found in collective action.
