Amoi seg' ma uns wieder

What “Amoi seg' ma uns wieder” means

This song is a tender, emotional reflection on death, faith, memory, and reunion. In the lyrics, death is described not as an end but as a return: the soul goes back to its origin, and the singer hopes for a meeting "once again" in the afterlife. The tone is mournful but comforting, with a strong sense of gratitude for life and loved ones, especially in the lines about laying down old days with thanks and closing the eyes for all time. For a learner, it is especially interesting because it uses Austrian/Bavarian dialect forms, which give the song a warm, intimate, folk-like feeling and differ noticeably from standard German.

About Andreas Gabalier

Andreas Gabalier is an Austrian singer-songwriter, known for mixing traditional Alpine folk music with modern rock and country influences. He became one of the best-known German-language artists in the region, and his style is often described as "Volks-Rock’n’Roll."

"Amoi seg' ma uns wieder" was first released in 2008, appeared on his debut album in 2009, and was later released as a single in 2014 after renewed attention from the TV show "Sing meinen Song." The title means "We will see each other again sometime," and the song is widely understood as a farewell song about loss and reunion, with a personal connection to the deaths of Gabalier’s father and sister.

• “Amoi seg ma uns wieder”

  Standard German would be "Einmal sehen wir uns wieder". This repeated refrain means "One day we’ll see each other again," and it carries the song’s central message of hope beyond death.

• “Wie a Blattl trogn vom Wind”

  This image compares a human life to a little leaf carried by the wind. It suggests fragility and helplessness, but also a natural return to where we came from.

• “aufi zu die Engerl fliagst”

  This means "you fly up to the little angels," a gentle, religious way of speaking about dying and going to heaven. The diminutive "Engerl" makes the image affectionate rather than frightening.

• “Ois wos bleibt ist die Erinnerung”

  "All that remains is memory." This line captures the song’s emotional core: when life ends, memories are what the living keep, and they become a source of meaning and comfort.

• “dankend nieder”

  Literally "lay down thankfully," this phrase shows acceptance and gratitude at the end of life. It is poetic and solemn, and it reflects a peaceful rather than bitter attitude toward dying.

• “A Liacht sui da leichtn”

  This means "A light should shine for you." The light symbolizes remembrance, hope, and eternal life, which is a common image in Christian-influenced funeral and memorial language.
