Making a trilogy of the German HipHop songs, here are the Absolute Beginner. One of them – Jan Delay – has started his own solo career now and is better than with the Beginners. But nothing beats this video, because it’s just so amazingly, wonderfully, low-budget weird.

Absolute Beginner – Liebeslied

For those of you who don’t understand the lyrics, I’ve even translated them because they are so worth it (especially the first part)! [Just don’t expect anything that actually fits the rhythm – I’m going for meaning here.]

Absolute Beginner – Love Song

This is love at first sight
Not even Drum ‘n Bass can keep up with your heart now
You have found your treasure without digging for very long
Want to take it in your arms und cuddle for hours
Completely caught, you fish are floundering on the hook
Tonight you will wait in a tent in front of the record store
With you a radio, in case it comes on again
Spontaneous indifference to all other songs right away
Who look all the same and use too much make-up
Choose from fifty words to talk about the same things
With cosmetic surgery on digital consoles
Well advised in style questions by Poles
For you there’s only one and no others
and if somebody doesn’t think yours is number one
you’ll see red like Heinz and lock them up
Torture him with Simple Minds until they cry

Dangerous liaisons
But it’s not your fault, the song is liable for that
Your ears feel like new born every day
And you wonder, can you marry tracks in Denmark
Our beat made boom
and it made zoom

(Chorus)
You want a love song, you get a love song
A song that you love
So listen
fall in love

If you have nothing in life, everything’s ghetto
that means happiness gross, frustration net
and on your face a tear tattoo, hey, then it’s time for music
because then you’ll dance and fly through the record store
And if your girlfriend is gone, meaning your ex
is the grasp for the Beginner’s song a reflex
No more sides – but jumps on the LP
happens, stay relaxed, buy a new one, it doesn’t matter
and if your life sometimes looks dumb
do as I do, get your philosopher out, write a text, have your break through
You are in love me, my arrow has hit you
Now you’re high on Beginners, before you were drunk
of too many producers, because no matter how they turn it
only thin tracks and rap with wee-wee in their eyes
Therefore I rarely play on your heart strings
while I learn to stand in the charts…

(Chorus)
