What's wrong, I ask
Aren't you going dancing tonight?
And she looks at me, at seventeen years old
A tear falls from her blue eyes
No, I don't think I can, she says
I already know it's over again
And the whole world collapses on you again
And you would like to hide now
Everything can be different tomorrow
Donna donna, donna donna blue
Believe me, everyone loses sometimes, everyone falls from the sky sometimes
Put on your jeans and your red shoes
And then go dancing again
There are so many who are alone like you, Donna Blue
Maybe you'll fall in love again tonight
When you're young, life is just beginning
And what's the point of locking yourself in the room?
Every adventure dies because of it
Donna donna, donna donna blue
Believe me, everyone loses sometimes, everyone falls from the sky sometimes
Put on your jeans and your red shoes
And then go dancing again
There are so many who are alone like you, Donna Blue
Donna donna, donna donna blue
Believe me, everyone loses sometimes, everyone falls from the sky sometimes
Put on your jeans and your red shoes
And then go dancing again
There are so many who are alone like you, Donna Blue
Donna blue

verkriechento hide away / to crawl into a corner

Verkriechen means 'to hide away' or 'to crawl into a corner'. It's a vivid verb that describes a strong desire to retreat from the world, often due to sadness or embarrassment.

In the song, the lyrics say, "Und am liebsten würdest du dich jetzt verkriechen" (And most of all, you'd like to hide away now). This word perfectly captures the feeling of wanting to withdraw and isolate oneself when facing heartbreak, making it a relatable and emotionally resonant choice.

Ever felt like a breakup was the end of the world? That's exactly where we find the young woman in this song. The singer speaks to a seventeen-year-old girl with blue eyes who is crying because her relationship has ended. She feels like her whole world is collapsing and just wants to hide in her room.

Instead of letting her stay sad, the singer offers some powerful advice. He calls her "Donna Blue," a nickname that plays on her blue eyes and her blue mood. He reminds her that everyone experiences heartbreak and that she's not alone. His solution? Put on your jeans and your red shoes, go out dancing, and open yourself up to new adventures. After all, he sings, when you're young, life is just beginning, and you might even fall in love again tonight!
