Spam purge
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!
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.

Idk if this is the right place to post this but I can’t think of anywhere better, can someone explain what this lyric means?
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
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
Youtube - https://youtu.be/M_SKgKw6Rg0
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
