Annotations and Meaning.

[Strophe 1]

In the first verse, von Goisern questions where wealth and abundance truly reside, suggesting that it is not found in material wealth but perhaps in moral and ethical values. The imagery of fire and burning stables reflects a critique of societal and economic practices.

[Bridge]

The bridge explores themes of luck and fate, questioning whether society's actions are driven by good fortune or reckless behavior. It contrasts being Christian with the actions that lead to moral decay, implying a disconnect between professed beliefs and actions.

[Refrain]

The refrain states that money does not grow on fields ("auf da Wiesn wochst") and cannot be eaten but is instead burned ("brenna tat's guat"). This serves as a metaphor for the wastefulness of converting food crops into biofuels. The repeated mention of burning crops like wheat (Woazn), beets (Ruabn), and corn (Kukuruz) emphasizes the critical view of using food for fuel.

[Strophe 2]

The second verse questions where the missing money is and criticizes the deceitful behavior of those in power. It addresses the frustration with lies and deceit that cover up the truth, and the consequences of not achieving what is desired.

[Pre-Refrain]

The pre-refrain repeats the themes of questioning where abundance and morality reside, and the destructive impact of reckless actions.

[Outro]

The outro reinforces the main message, reiterating that money does not grow on fields and cannot be eaten, yet it is burned wastefully. It underscores the critical perspective on the misuse of food resources.
