Discover the story of the song > Jein – Fettes Brot

The protagonist's girlfriend is away on vacation, so he's out looking for other women. However, he still loves his girlfriend and feels guilty about wanting someone else. König Boris has a crush on his friend's girlfriend but doesn't want to ruin their friendship. Schiffmeister is invited to a big party but his girlfriend wants him to stay with her. All three of them are unsure if they should go for what they want or stay loyal to their partners, so they answer "jein" (which means kinda/sorta) to the question of whether they should do it or not.
