Erdbeerkuchen Lyrics in English AnnenMayKantereit

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Erdbeerkuchen by AnnenMayKantereit from German to English.
Summer sun, cake fork
Ice-cold lemonade
Sunglasses are a must
And filter coffee to enjoy
And the strawberry cake
You gotta try it sometime
The strawberry cake
You gotta give it a try
It won't be here much longer
Summer sunset
I raise my glass 'cause I can
We drink Federweisser
Gladly pour me some
Federweisser
Ain't real wine at all
The strawberry cake
You gotta try it sometime
The strawberry cake
You gotta give it a try
It won't be here much longer
The strawberry cake!
the strawberry cake
You gotta give it a taste
The strawberry cake
You gotta give it a try
I'll give, I'll give, I'll give, I'll give you the recipe
Recipes are underrated
I once woke someone with it
I hid another slice for you
The strawberry cake!

SONG MEANING

Erdbeerkuchen is a sweet ode to the simple joys of a German summer. Picture the scene: blazing sunshine, clinking forks, ice-cold lemonade, and that must-have pair of sunglasses. Over this laid-back backdrop, AnnenMayKantereit invites us to taste life as vividly as a slice of freshly baked strawberry cake. Each line piles on another seasonal delight—filter coffee, young Federweißer wine, sunset toasts—turning the song into a picnic blanket of sensory images.

Yet beneath the sugary glaze sits a gentle reminder: summer never stays for long, so you’d better savor it while it’s here. Sharing the secret recipe and hiding an extra slice for a friend speaks to generosity and nostalgia, hinting that memories, like cake, become even sweeter when passed around. In short, “Erdbeerkuchen” celebrates living in the moment, indulging in small pleasures, and spreading the love one crumb at a time.
