Das Lied Lyrics in English SDP , Bela B.

Home / Lyrics Translation / SDP / Das Lied

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Das Lied by SDP from German to English.

So guys, you know it just as well as I do

Sales numbers are in the basement

There are no big TV appearances

That's embarrassing!

What we need now is 'The Song'

What's 'The Song' gonna be about?

About nothing

That's the genius part!

I don't give a sh*t

Let's go!

Yeah, this is the intro to 'The Song'

We start all sentimental, with AutoTune

This is the chorus, the melody's total trash

But after one listen you'll never get it out of your head

This is the chorus, I'm singing some random crap

But that doesn't matter, 'cause nobody cares about the lyrics

This is the chorus, the melody's total trash

But after one listen you'll never get it out of your head

This is the chorus, I'm singing some random crap

But that doesn't matter, 'cause nobody cares about the lyrics

This is the latest tech!

This is a green screen

And it looks freakin' real!

This is the first verse, I just sing whatever

'Cause the song has no topic at all

And I bet you still haven't even noticed yet

That the lines don't rhyme at all

I could make a song that really changes something

Against social-media craze, Nazis or bankers

But I write dumb lines and show some dancers in the video

'Cause the song is only about itself, like influencers

And if I need more lyrics, I'll just repeat something

Something, something

This is the chorus, the melody's total trash

But after one listen you'll never get it out of your head

This is the chorus, I'm singing some random crap

But that doesn't matter, 'cause nobody cares about the lyrics

totally unexpected the beat changes

Second verse and the voice is deep

Say something smart, nah, forget it

It doesn't need to make sense, Alaska

Profitable, like when you traffic weapons

Who still writes a song? That's math

In the video you see the drone flying

And we're standing on a roof just 'cause it looks cool

The voice sweet again, back to the old beat

And you cheer like a kid at the nice melody

Formulaic, always the same, what else are we known for?

This song changes nothing, except my bank balance

And companies can see the song as a job application

Kalashnikov and Bundeswehr, your ad could be right here!

This is the chorus, the melody's total trash

But after one listen you'll never get it out of your head

This is the chorus, I'm singing some random crap

But that doesn't matter, 'cause nobody cares about the lyrics

That's not how it works. What you need is a star

A real star who shines, who has charisma

In the end everyone shines

Now look what I got

You need a feature. That's what the song can handle

I like to help the colleagues, depends on the pay though

My management says

Every idiot out there knows that band

I'm a fan of their stuff too

Ha! Kraftklub! I've always wanted to do something with them

Uh, but we are SD

This is the chorus, the melody's total trash

But after one listen you'll never get it out of your head

This is the chorus, I'm singing some random crap

But that doesn't matter, 'cause nobody cares about the lyrics

And to finish, the choir

Not just any choir, the children's choir

Everybody loves kids! More epic!

the

Sorry, uh

I gotta go, off to the chatter meeting: Minds-App. Thanks

This is the chorus, the melody's total trash

SONG MEANING

SDP and Bela B. turn the spotlight on the music business itself in Das Lied, a song that gleefully admits it is about… absolutely nothing. From the very first spoken lines, the duo jokes about poor sales, missing TV gigs and the urgent need for a hit. What follows is a tongue-in-cheek checklist of every chart-friendly cliché: Auto-Tune, an annoyingly sticky hook, a greenscreen video, swaggering guest features and a children’s choir for extra “epic” points. By proudly declaring that the lyrics are meaningless while repeating them until they stick in your head, the band parodies how easily empty pop formulas can sell.

Beneath the prank lies a sharp critique. Each goofy verse calls out the industry’s obsession with clicks, ad placements and image crafting, showing how songs can be built like fast food—cheap ingredients, catchy flavor, zero nutrition. Bela B.’s cameo plays along with the joke that star power fixes everything. In the end, Das Lied is both a ridiculously catchy earworm and a sarcastic mirror held up to modern pop culture, daring listeners to notice how often we dance to songs without ever hearing what they say.
