Translation of the song lyrics Lieder drüber singen - Söhne Mannheims

Lieder drüber singen (original)

Jetzt nimmt das alles Formen an,
Jetzt kann ich was erkennen.
Vielleicht werden uns’re Kinder Lieder drüber singen.
Verse 2 (Klimas):
Wir fang’n noch mal von vorne an Und diesmal wird’s gelingen.
Dann werden uns’re Kinder Lieder drüber singen,
Lieder drüber singen…
Chorus (Naidoo, Oac, Wehland, Klimas):
Es wär' schön, wenn ihr glücklich wär't,
Dass wir vor euch hier war’n.
Denn ansonsten gäb' es keinen Grund,
Dass wir vor euch hier war’n
Und die Welt ist nicht gesund.
Doch es gäbe, es gäbe guten Grund,
Dass es besser wird als es vorher war
Und vielleicht, vielleicht machen wir das wahr.
Rap 1 (Marlon B.):
Straight to the top,
Ah, me say straight to the top.
Straight to the top,
And we will ne’er stop.
(2x)
Say me, look around and listen what I see.
Chorus (Naidoo, Oac, Wehland, Klimas)
Rap 2 (Metaphysics):
Yeah, so lost in this world goin' crazy.
I suppose that’s how he made me.
I remember when I was a baby,
Situations changin' lately.
I sit here contemplatin',
My steps and moves I’m makin'.
Life’s hard when I hear you’re making
Prophecies, not meditation.
All the children who’ve been taken
all their right in a situation
So lost, like me goin' crazy.
I suppose that’s how he made me.
I see the world is shakin',
It seems like something’s breakin'.
Gotta do what gotta be done,
And so I let the spirit ripen
like the morning in the sun.
Chorus (Naidoo, Oac, Wehland, Klimas)
Verse 3 (Klimas):
Sie soll’n nur wenig Sorgen haben,
Die Schmerzen könn'n abklingen.
Dann werden uns’re Kinder Lieder drüber singen.
Verse 4 (Naidoo):
Wo fühlt es sich geborgen an,
Dort wird man sie hinbringen.
Und dann können uns’re Kinder Lieder drüber singen,
Lieder drüber singen…
Chorus (Naidoo, Oac, Wehland, Klimas)
Vielleicht machen wir das wahr.
(Wehland)

(translation)

Now it's all taking shape
Now I can see something.
Maybe our children will sing songs about it.
Verse 2 (climates):
Let's start again from the beginning And this time it will be successful.
Then our children will sing songs about it,
sing songs about it...
Chorus (Naidoo, Oac, Wehland, Klimas):
It would be nice if you were happy
That we were here before you.
Because otherwise there would be no reason
That we were here before you
And the world is not sane.
But there would be good reason
That it will be better than it was before
And maybe, maybe we'll make it real.

And we will ne'er stop.

Verse 3 (Climates):
You shouldn't have too many worries
The pain can subside.
Then our children will sing songs about it.
Verse 4 (Naidoo):
Where does it feel safe
They will take her there.
And then our children can sing songs about it
sing songs about it...
Chorus (Naidoo, Oac, Wehland, Klimas)
Maybe we'll make this come true.
