Mein Erstes Lied Lyrics in English Madsen

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mein Erstes Lied by Madsen from German to English.
At the end of the street lay your house
When your parents were asleep, you snuck out
The summer was young and the night was clear
And we kissed in the gateway
With you I've experienced so much for the first time
And today I don't even know how you're doing
You were my first song
It's what was left of you
A song nobody ever forgets
I want you to know, wherever you are
It stays what it is forever
A song for you
We were in a daze for four summers
And I wrote a song with your name
You had big plans, wanted to move on
With a suitcase full of hope you went to Berlin
On your mattress we cried day and night
Your world was too big for me and mine too small for you
You were my first song
It's what was left of you
A song nobody ever forgets
I want you to know, wherever you are
It stays what it is forever
A song for you
And sometimes I hear the melody again so clear
As if it all just happened yesterday
You were my first song
It's what was left of you
A song nobody ever forgets
I want you to know, wherever you are
It stays what it is forever
A song for you
A song for you

SONG MEANING

„Mein Erstes Lied“ invites us on a nostalgic trip back to long, warm summer nights when everything felt new and endless.

The narrator recalls a youthful romance that bloomed behind sleepy suburban windows: secret late-night meet-ups, first kisses in a doorway, plans as big as the sky. Although the couple eventually drifts apart — she heads to Berlin with a suitcase of dreams while he stays behind — their short, intense love leaves a lasting echo. She becomes his first song, the melody that captures every laugh, tear, and heartbeat of that formative time. Even years later, when he hears those chords, the memories rush back as vividly as ever. The track celebrates how music can turn fleeting moments into something permanent, reminding us that first loves may disappear from sight, but they can live on forever in the songs they inspire.
