Wovon Sollen Wir Träumen Lyrics in English Frida Gold

Home / Lyrics translation / Frida Gold / Wovon Sollen Wir Träumen

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Wovon Sollen Wir Träumen by Frida Gold from German to English.

I'm right in the middle and give myself over to it all

But if you look behind the scenes

Then it always starts like this

I always sleep too long

Can't get it together and feel sh*tty because of it

I don't recognize myself in the shop windows

Don't spot anything I like

I need the prettiest clothes

And the strongest men

And a hand that holds my hand forever

What should we dream of, the way we are?

The way we are? The way we are?

What can we believe in? Where's this leading?

What will come and stay, the way we are?

I feel empty and the night weighs heavy

So heavy on my shoulders

All that hope

It's been gone for a long time

Another night just wasted

I've searched and searched

In the farthest corners

For eyes that interest me

It's never worked

But I don't wanna get it

What should we dream of, the way we are?

The way we are? The way we are?

What can we believe in? Where's this leading?

What will come and stay, the way we are?

We let ourselves drift through the city's clubs

Through strangers' hands and we never get enough

Then we wake up

With somebody else's lover

The ones we thought

We'd never leave

We can't breathe anymore

And forget to eat

We drink too much, it's still a game without aim

When's it gonna stop? When do we get out of here?

What should we dream of? Where's home?

Where's home?

What should we dream of, the way we are?

The way we are? The way we are?

What can we believe in? Where's this leading?

What will come and stay, the way we are?

We let ourselves drift through the city's clubs

Through strangers' hands and we never get enough

Then we wake up with somebody else's lover

The ones we thought we'd never leave

What should we dream of?

“Wovon Sollen Wir Träumen” captures that late-night moment when the party lights fade and the big questions switch on. Frida Gold sings from the heart of a sleepless city: waking up too late, staring at shop-window reflections that don’t feel like you, and chasing glittery distractions in clubs where the music is loud yet the meaning is quiet. The lyrics paint the modern search for identity as a restless carousel of fancy clothes, fleeting lovers, and too many drinks, all while a nagging emptiness keeps asking, “What should we dream of, just as we are?”

Beneath the catchy pop beat lies a gentle challenge. The song wonders how to find hope and a true home when everything around us feels temporary and staged. It invites listeners to press pause on the endless nightlife game, look past the surface, and start dreaming of something real and lasting. In short, it is a vibrant anthem for anyone who has ever felt lost in the crowd yet still believes there must be a brighter, more authentic dream waiting to be claimed.
