Gute Kinder Lyrics in English by CIVO, Esther Graf
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Gute Kinder by CIVO from German to English.
Da, da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da, da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da, da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da, da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Was ist nur aus uns geworden?
What have we become?
Denken nicht an Morgen
Don't think about tomorrow
Shit, wir waren doch gute Kinder
Sh*t, we were good kids though
Guck uns an, in achtzig Jahren
Look at us, in eighty years
Sind wir alle nicht mehr da
We'll all be gone
Und dann sollen die sich an uns erinnern
And then they should remember us
Wir schreiben Namen an Häuser, wir pusten Rauch in die Nacht
We write names on houses, we blow smoke into the night
Wir haben zu große Träume für diese winzige Stadt
Our dreams are too big for this tiny city
Verlieben uns viel zu schnell, können nicht gut umgehen mit Geld
We fall in love too fast, can't handle money well
Und denken nur an uns selbst, weil es sonst keiner macht
And only think of ourselves, because no one else does
Fehler muss man machen, Regeln muss man brechen
You have to make mistakes, you have to break rules
Wir wollen nichts verpassen, was ist nur aus
We don't want to miss anything, what has become of
Was ist nur aus uns geworden?
What have we become?
Denken nicht an Morgen
Don't think about tomorrow
Shit, wir waren doch gute Kinder
Sh*t, we were good kids though
Guck uns an, in achtzig Jahren
Look at us, in eighty years
Sind wir alle nicht mehr da
We'll all be gone
Und dann sollen die sich an uns erinnern
And then they should remember us
Da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da, da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da, da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Wir haben zu viele Pläne und dafür ein Leben Zeit
We have too many plans and only one lifetime for them
Haben schon alle unsre Tränen mit Mitte zwanzig verweint
We've already cried all our tears by our mid-twenties
Wir wollen Geschichte schreiben und dass die Welt uns sieht
We want to make history and for the world to see us
Wir bauen die größte Scheiße, damit uns jemand liebt
We do the craziest sh*t, so someone loves us
Fehler muss man machen, Regeln muss man brechen
You have to make mistakes, you have to break rules
Wir wollen nichts verpassen, was ist nur aus
We don't want to miss anything, what has become of
Was ist nur aus uns geworden?
What have we become?
Denken nicht an Morgen
Don't think about tomorrow
Shit, wir waren doch gute Kinder
Sh*t, we were good kids though
Guck uns an, in achtzig Jahren
Look at us, in eighty years
Sind wir alle nicht mehr da
We'll all be gone
Und dann sollen die sich an uns erinnern
And then they should remember us
Da, da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da, da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da, da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da, da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da, da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da, da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da, da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da, da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

Did you like this lyrics translation?
verweint — cried away / wept away
Verweint is the past participle of the verb verweinen, which means to cry away or weep away something, often referring to time or tears. It's a more intense and evocative word than simply geweint (cried).
In the context of the song, the line "Haben schon alle unsre Tränen mit Mitte zwanzig verweint" (We have already cried away all our tears by our mid-twenties) suggests a sense of having experienced a lot of emotional hardship early in life, leaving them with no tears left for the future. This unique usage makes it particularly interesting.
