Altes Fieber Lyrics in English Die Toten Hosen

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Altes Fieber by Die Toten Hosen from German to English.
Where are those days
When we believed
We had nothing to lose
We open up old crates
Pull out our stories
One big dusty pile of old paper
We listen to music from back then
Look at faded photos
Remember what once was
And again and again
It's the same songs
That feel
Like time stood still
I walk down my street
Run to our shop
See you all sitting there
Know I'm in the right place
In what highs and what lows
We were together
Thank god we're still here
And again and again
It's the same songs
That feel
Like time stood still
Because it never passes
This old fever
That always flares up
Whenever we're together
We raise a toast
With every glass
To everyone who didn't make it
And again and again
It's the same songs
That feel
Like time stood still
Because it never passes
This old fever
That always flares up
Whenever we're together
Because it never passes
This old fever
That always flares up
Whenever we're together

SONG MEANING

Altes Fieber (“Old Fever”) by the legendary German punk-rockers Die Toten Hosen is a musical time machine that whisks the listener back to the carefree days of youth. The lyrics open dusty boxes of memories, crank up vintage tunes and flip through faded photographs, all while that old fever of excitement and belonging starts to glow again. Each familiar chorus feels as if the clock suddenly freezes, letting friends relive moments when they believed they had nothing to lose but the next great adventure.

Beneath the raw guitars lies a heartfelt celebration of friendship and survival. The singer walks the same street to the same hang-out, sees the same faces and raises a glass to those who didn’t make it this far. These ritual gatherings prove that while life may climb to highs and dive to lows, the bond forged by shared music never fades. “Altes Fieber” is ultimately a shout-along anthem about the timeless power of songs to reunite friends, honour the past and keep rebellious spirits burning bright—every single time the record spins.
