Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Schatz, Du Arschloch! by Weekend from German to English.

Babe, you asked why I don't write you a song

So I thought: alright, you'll get one

You said I should describe you honestly

You're great, it's just hard for you to show it

And if we fight a lot? Nah

At least not when one of us is asleep

You ask what I think of you, though I've no idea why

I figured stuff like that is up to you

Of course my buddies can stand you

They just don't come visit us anymore

Because we're so hard to reach by bus

And maybe also 'cause you insult them

I often ask myself: what did I do to deserve such luck?

It's like a lifelong vacation in a civil war

I guess I'd better be sweet to you

You're not fat, nope, your jeans are mean

Bridge

Babe

Please, please, please don't hit me

Bridge

No matter what it's about

It wasn't me

Bridge

I swear, if you break my nose again

I'll leave you

If that's allowed

I thought I'd still tell you that

Babe, you a**hole!

I hope you face-plant in your high heels

And oh I hate Grey's Anatomy

And sure you get fat if you just sit around

Kittens aren't cute, they're useless

I thought I'd still tell you that

Babe, you a**hole!

And if anything bothers me? I guess, nope

Babe, you know I think fun's stupid too

At least you want me to stick with music

Provided I only write songs about you

I think we fit well together

I'm scared and you know how to use that

And if I think you're jealous?

But babe, no, of course not

You say trust is the cornerstone

The private detective has to be for my protection

Me not being allowed to talk to other women is okay

I know that includes the voice on my voicemail

Of course I'm allowed to go meet my friends

If they put in writing they're not into men

You wonder why I'm still doing all this, babe?

because I'm scared

Bridge

And it goes on as usual

Because I'm afraid to lose you

I mean, of your reaction

Bridge

I'll stay with you, 'cause being alone is lame

And besides, you know where I live

I thought I'd still tell you that

Babe, you a**hole!

I hope you face-plant in your high heels

And oh I hate Grey's Anatomy

And sure you get fat if you just sit around

Kittens aren't cute, they're useless

I thought I'd still tell you that

Babe, you a**hole!

Arschloch — Asshole

Arschloch is a very strong and common German insult, directly translating to "asshole". While it's a swear word, its prominent use in the song's title and chorus makes it impossible to ignore and highly memorable.

In the context of "Schatz, Du Arschloch!" (Darling, You Asshole!), the word is used humorously and ironically within a dysfunctional relationship. The singer uses it to express a mix of frustration, affection, and dark humor towards his partner, making it a central and enticing element of the song's narrative.

Schatz, Du Arschloch! is a razor-sharp anti-love song that flips the classic romantic ballad on its head. Weekend addresses his girlfriend with sugary pet names while cataloging every outrageous thing she does: smashing his nose, insulting his friends, policing his conversations, and force-feeding him endless episodes of Grey’s Anatomy. The playful rhymes and punchy humor keep the song light on the surface, yet every joke hints at a much darker reality.

Beneath the laughs lies a portrait of a toxic, abusive relationship where fear and manipulation rule. The narrator’s sarcasm disguises genuine terror, revealing how easily violence can hide behind “terms of endearment.” By mixing comedy with discomfort, Weekend invites listeners to chuckle, wince, and ultimately question why anyone would stay in such chaos. It is a catchy, clever reminder that not every “love song” is about love at all.
