Schokolade Lyrics in English Deine Freunde

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Schokolade by Deine Freunde from German to English.
Intro
This is a song
About something I want really often
Intro
But only ever get from one person
I eat fruit every day, sometimes less, sometimes more
At our place the fruit plate's never empty
And Mom says, "Eat the apples and bananas
Pears, tangerines and all that other stuff."
And then she tells me how important vitamins are and says
"Come on, finish your plate, be a good kid."
And I'm good and the sweetest there is
But when I've finished eating I sing this song
Fruit and yummy veggies
That makes me big and strong
'Cause today I wanna go to Grandma's
She gives me what I like
Grandma gives me chocolate, yeah
Tasty chocolate
Grandma gets me candy from the cupboard
She's got this drawer
Full of chocolate
Packed like in the land of milk and honey
Grandma gives me chocolate, yeah
Tasty chocolate
Grandma gets me candy from the cupboard
She's got this drawer
Full of chocolate
Packed like in the land of milk and honey
I want chocolate
I really, really want chocolate
I want chocolate
But do you know what I eat every day?
I eat veggies every day, sometimes less, sometimes more
At our place veggies are really never gone
Dad says, "Eat the cucumbers and tomatoes
From the supermarket if you must, but preferably from the garden."
And then he tells me how important vitamins are and says
"Eat your veggies, come on, be a good kid."
And I'm good and the sweetest there is
But when I've finished eating I sing this song
Fruit and yummy veggies
That makes me big and strong
'Cause today I wanna go to Grandma's
She gives me what I like
Grandma gives me chocolate, yeah
Tasty chocolate
Grandma gets me candy from the cupboard
She's got this drawer
Full of chocolate
Packed like in the land of milk and honey
Grandma gives me chocolate, yeah
Tasty chocolate
Grandma gets me candy from the cupboard
She's got this drawer
Full of chocolate
Packed like in the land of milk and honey

SONG MEANING

"Schokolade" is a playful anthem for anyone who ever had to finish their apples and broccoli before tasting something sweet. The singer lists the endless supply of Obst and Gemüse at home and cheerfully repeats what parents always say: “Vitamins make you big and strong!” He is obedient, eats everything, and then bursts into song, dreaming of the one place where healthy rules are put on pause: Grandma’s house.

When he visits Oma, a magical drawer opens like a real-life Schlaraffenland (a legendary land of plenty). Out tumble bars of Schokolade and every sugary treat a child can imagine. The chorus celebrates that sugary paradise while playful chants of “Schoko-schoko la-de” capture pure childhood excitement. Underneath the fun, the song reminds learners that treats taste even sweeter after the healthy stuff is done—balancing responsibility with a well-earned reward.
