Mein Kind Lyrics in English by In Extremo
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mein Kind by In Extremo from German to English.
Schlaf mein Kindchen schlaf
Sleep, my child, sleep
Ich weine für dich
I cry for you
Schlaf mein Kindchen schlaf
Sleep, my child, sleep
Ich lache für dich
I laugh for you
Wo immer du auch bist
Wherever you may be
Da wird ich singen
There I will sing
Nur für dich
Only for you
: Alles was bleibt das ist die Zeit
All that remains is time
Die der Wind verweht
Which the wind blows away
Du bist befreit bis sich das Rad
You are freed until the wheel
Von vorne dreht
Turns again
Nun bist du frei, der Sturm zieht vorbei
Now you are free, the storm passes by
Nach Nirgendwo
To nowhere
Ein letzter Schrei
A last cry
Nun schlaf recht schön
Now sleep very well
Schlaf mein Kindchen schlaf
Sleep, my child, sleep
Ich brenne für dich
I burn for you
Schlaf mein Kindchen schlaf
Sleep, my child, sleep
Ich träume für dich
I dream for you
Schlaf mein Kindchen schlaf
Sleep, my child, sleep
Ich liebe nur für dich
I love only for you
Bis mein Stein bei dir liegt
Until my stone lies with you
Da werd ich denken
Then I will think
Nur an dich
Only of you
: Alles was bleibt
All that remains is time

Did you like this lyrics translation?
Nirgendwo — Nowhere
Nirgendwo translates to "nowhere". It's a striking and somewhat melancholic word that evokes a sense of vastness and an unknown destination.
In the context of "Mein Kind," the line "Nach Nirgendwo" (To nowhere) appears after the child is described as being "befreit" (freed) and the storm passing. It suggests a journey into the unknown, perhaps an afterlife or a state of peace beyond earthly concerns, making it a poignant and thought-provoking choice.
