Dorfkinder Lyrics in English Finnel

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dorfkinder by Finnel from German to English.
We're all village kids, f*ck your city
Louis V is dope when you ain't got anything else
We're all village kids, we know how it's done
We go wild at night and we're up early again
Everything we need is right here in the mud
I grab a moped and a case of beer and we blast off right away
I'm with my crew at the bus stop
Who drinks Wildberry-Lillet? We've got pretzels and Helles here
Nobody gives a damn what you allow, I wear what I want
My Air Force 1s? They're Engelbert Strauss, yeah
In my Fendt we roll to the Schützenfest
And there we finish ourselves off
We're all village kids, f*ck your city
Louis V is dope when you ain't got anything else
We're all village kids, we know how it's done
We go wild at night and we're up early again
We're all village kids, f*ck your city
Louis V is dope when you ain't got anything else
We're all village kids, we know how it's done
We go wild at night and we're up early again
The yard, the barn, the field, that's our hood
We've got the volunteer fire crew and don't need a club
I've got two thousand hectares, you rent a high-rise
You stare at gray walls, I've got wood by the cabin
Sunday-league football, the ref shows me red
He's from Berlin and he's a total idiot
Come to our hick town, it's always worth it
If you don't greet us, you'll get banned from the village
We're all village kids, f*ck your city
Louis V is dope when you ain't got anything else
We're all village kids, we know how it's done
We go wild at night and we're up early again
We're all village kids, f*ck your city
Louis V is dope when you ain't got anything else
We're all village kids, we know how it's done
We go wild at night and we're up early again

SONG MEANING

“Dorfkinder” is Finnel’s rowdy love-letter to small-town life. In playful German slang, she and her friends proudly wave the flag for every barn party, tractor ride, and muddy field that shaped them. The chorus—“Wir sind alle Dorfkinder, scheiß auf eure Stadt” (“We’re all village kids, forget your city”)—teases urban fashionistas clutching their Louis Vuitton while celebrating the real luxuries of the countryside: mopeds, pretzels, cheap beer, and sunrise hangouts at the bus stop.

Beneath the humor, the song delivers a sincere message about belonging, community, and self-confidence. Finnel contrasts concrete high-rises with endless farmland, pricey clubs with the local Schützenfest, and anonymous city crowds with the tight-knit crew of the volunteer fire brigade. “Dorfkinder” turns rural clichés into badges of honor, reminding listeners that identity is not about status symbols but about the people and places that feel like home—no matter how much mud is involved.
