Küssen Verboten Lyrics in English Die Prinzen

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Küssen Verboten by Die Prinzen from German to English.
You want me
Because you think I'm pretty
I gotta say
I can totally understand that
You give presents
And you wash my dishes
And I think
That I've got it good with you
But there's one thing
I just can't stand
When your wet lips
Get too close to me
Chorus 1
Kissing's forbidden
Kissing's forbidden
Nobody who ever saw me would've believed that
Kissing isn't allowed with me
Verse 1
Back at school
I was seven years old
Verse 1
There was Jule
Totally into me
Verse 1
I went home
She followed right behind me
Verse 1
And during recess
She wanted even more
Verse 1
She thought she could buy me with cheese rolls
And then her wet lips came up to me
Chorus 2
Kissing's forbidden
Kissing's forbidden
Nobody who ever saw me would've believed that
Kissing isn't allowed with me
Bridge
And last night in a dream
Tobias walked through the door
Bridge
I saw big, wet lips
And all I could do was scream
Chorus 3
Kissing's forbidden
Kissing's forbidden
Nobody who ever saw me would've believed that
Kissing isn't allowed with me
Kissing's forbidden
Kissing's forbidden
Nobody who ever saw me would've believed that
Chorus 3
Kissing isn't allowed with me
Nobody who ever saw me would've believed that
Kissing isn't allowed with me

SONG MEANING

Küssen Verboten (“Kissing Forbidden”) is a playful pop anthem by the German group Die Prinzen. The narrator loves the admiration he gets – gifts, chores done, endless compliments – yet he refuses the one thing every admirer really wants: a kiss. From childhood crushes waving cheese sandwiches to friends who appear in his dreams with looming lips, he keeps repeating the catchy rule "Küssen verboten!".

Beneath the humor sits a clear lesson about personal boundaries. No matter how attractive, generous, or persistent someone is, consent is non-negotiable. Die Prinzen wrap this message in a sing-along melody, witty storytelling, and comic exaggeration, reminding listeners that saying “no” can be firm, funny, and unforgettable.
