#DAMDAMDAM! Lyrics in English by SDP
Papperlapapp is a wonderfully quirky German interjection, similar to saying "balderdash" or "nonsense" in English. It's an onomatopoeic word that sounds a bit like someone dismissively flapping their lips.
In the song, the artist uses it to brush off negative feelings: "Die schlechten Tage fucken mich ab / Ach was! Papperlapapp, darauf 'n Schnaps!" (The bad days are messing me up / Oh well! Nonsense, a shot on that!). It perfectly captures the song's carefree and rebellious spirit, making it a memorable and fun word to learn.
Get ready to shake off your worries with SDP's "#DAMDAMDAM!" This German duo brings us a super fun, rebellious anthem about not caring what anyone else thinks. The whole song is built around this catchy, defiant melody that goes "Dam-da-dam-dada-dadam-dadam," which is what the singer whistles and hums when he's just over it all.
From skipping out on math class ("Es war damals schon so im Matheunterricht" [It was already like that back in math class]) to just talking nonsense all day ("Bin den ganzen Tag nur Scheiße am reden" [I'm talking shit all day]), the song celebrates living life on your own terms. He doesn't care what bothers people ("Mir doch scheiß egal, was die Leute so stört" [I don't give a damn what bothers people]) and even jokes about his life being a career now, even though he just did his own thing ("Aber mein Leben nenn'n die Leute jetzt Karriere" [But people now call my life a career]). It's all about finding your own path, even if it means a warm Jägermeister and ignoring the haters. So turn up the music and just go "Dam-da-dam-dadam-dam!"
