Not really important, I know, but 'May' is pronounced like 'my' or 'm-eye' in German. 😉
It can be pronounced in 100 ways in German.
@@untergehermuc Aber in diesem Fall ist eben nur eine richtig. Und es geht ja um den Namen.
Translate??
@@DreamersDreamBig sorry! But in this case, only one is correct. And it's all about the name.
Okay lemme see if I’m picking up on any of the words using context clues.
Richtig = “correct”
Und = “and”
Ist = “this”
Aber = “sorry”
Es = “it’s”
Namen = “name”
How did I do??
Tommi is a childhood friend of Henning May's. Tommi had moved away from his city early on and eventually Henning himself moved to Berlin. The song is expressing the homesickness he feels and the longing that, especially Cologne people seem to feel towards their city and its people. This is an introduction of this, then new song to a crowd (17.000) of Cologne people which strongly react to specific lines in the song (some of it is sung in Cologne dialect) x
The song is partly sung in "Kölsch", the regional dialect where Annenmaykantereit come from, Cologne!
I’ve known for a long time that I want to travel to Germany just to see amk perform live. This song (plus other things I’ve seen where they talk about their love for Cologne) made me decide that if I’m gonna make the trip to see them, it needs to be in Cologne. I need to see them in their hometown and feel that love
I just bought my ticket to see them on September 9th in Cologne and I can’t even put into words how excited I am. I know it’s gonna be so special
Omg that sounds like a dream!!
I will see them in Hannover. 😊
@andmiran Where are you from?
Wow!! I’m in California and going to Koln 9/9/23!!! Bought my ticket last year and I just can’t wait! See you there🤣🥰
We envy you! 😉
@@meise99 I’m from the US. Virginia. Where are you from?
Tommi is a friend of the "Teller" in the song, it is probably a male person (Tommi can be a short form for Thomas).
There are several local things that must be understood, so the song make any sense.
- He says how much he misses the Rhine (the Rhein, the river that crosses Cologne): when you are in Cologne, it is almost inevitable that you don't see the Rhein meeting the Dom (the Dome). These are for a lot of local people (and also tourists) very special. Historically saying, the Rhine is also very important, because it is a part of how Cologne was built. Before it was a whole "one" city, it was separated by the Rhein. There are even some local jokes about people who are from the "wrong" side of Cologne: the Schäl Sick ("wrong side" in Kölsch, the local dialect). Cologne was only the left part of the Rhine and on the Right side there were tribes that used to attack Colonia);
- The Spree river is in Berlin and it shows some "rivalry" betweens Köln and Berlin, because these are some of the biggest cities in Germany. A lot of people who wants to try "more creative" things go to Berlin. So when he talks about the Spree, it is an allusion to when we see the Rhein here in Cologne;
- We, people from Cologne, are very proud of our town: It is a place where everyone tries their Lucky and where people are usually more "opened" than the other Germans in other regions. The city is also proud of its creation: it was a Roman colony that mixed up with local "tribes" and developed itself. It is possible to see through other bands this spirit of "proud because we're made of different people" such as Kasalla (in a song "Jröne Papajeie" (green parrots)) or Bläck Fööss (Drink doch ene met (Let's drinke a beer!) or Unsere Stammbaum (Our family tree)) or Cat Ballou (Liebe deine Stadt - love your town!). These songs refer how colorful Cologne is and that Cologne is what it is because of this mix of different cultures.
- Last but most important: he mixes the song with some Kölsch (Da wo mer zosamme jroß jewoode sinn (da wo wir zusammen groß geworden sind (there, where we all grew up together))), which is the Local Dialet of Cologne and is not widely spoken anymore, but it is well preserved. You can still listen to a lof of music in Kölsch and also Cultural events such as theatre only in Kölsch.
In his introduction, Henning talks about how awesome it is that they started out as street musicians and are now playing in front of 17,000 people.
17,000!!!! Jeeeeezzzz
Well, I love AMK and I did like your reaction. But most of all I loved the community you gathered ariund you! I have learned more in the comments here than months trying to find info on the Internet.
Thanks everyone for bring foward such precious information!
yes jung und dumm means young and dumb, english partially came from old germanic so it is no surprise that you hear some similar sounding words. also english just flat out took alot of words from german, like kindergarden being kindergarten
this was fun to watch! thank you for your reaction :)
I really enjoyed watching your reaction to the song! You had tons of fun even though you couldn't understand him and the translation you found wasn't very good indeed.
My wife played this song for me on Monday after we watched the huuuge carnival parade.
Köln is a nice place to live! Can't wait to see them live. Alaaf ;-)
For Cologne people, the highest attribute they could get is that in the ID Card/Passport is mentioned: Born in Cologne!
I would actuall contest that. Cologne's people are so free and open, being a 'Kölner' is just a feeling. Its exactly not about where you're from, just that you love cologne and their people. Thats all there is to be part of cologne.
Ok, das Ding ist
Ok, the thing is
Das Lied heißt Tommy
The song is called Tommy
You are basically German!!!
Let’s goooo!!!
I think you might like 'Der Rest Meinen Leben' by German hip hop artist Kummer, featuring Henning May.
this song is a hymn for cologne people
Cologne is not a city, Cologne is a feeling
I like your video. And I do like AMK. I recommend an older artist, Rio Reiser "für immer und dich"
Noted! ❤️
Ich muss auch immer an Rio und TSS denken
ua-cam.com/video/Mf-rrQfYu9E/v-deo.html - Variation in a duet with Ina Müller in a famous German TV-Show ('Ina's Nacht' produced by public TV of Northern Germany in 2022).
I love that one, too.
And: Ina Müller says Henning‘s name and the one of his band. So you can listen carefully to the pronunciation 😊
Great video, but where did you get the english lyrics from? Thats translated word by word. It's ok, but for a lot of sentences there would be better translations that would bring the feeling mich better
a great hym
Tommi is his brother
Prost! (cheers!)
Ich liebe ihn
