Zelten Auf Kies Lyrics in English Tream , treamiboii

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Zelten Auf Kies by Tream from German to English.
Back then I lost my heart way too often
Those were the nights of my life
No problems in my head, just the sea in my ear
We were the heroes of my hood
We camp on gravel, we never go home
Marlboro Gold, watch the sun come up
I hustle my beats, Marie-ie-ie's in my arms
Tell me, how do I get those days back?
Hey, forever young turned into memories
But my glass isn't empty yet
Tonight we drink to us, it's far from over
We couldn't care less who made it
Home was the soccer pitch
Doors kicked in, anyone of you got a light?
Stole a few smokes, downed a mix
Then sh*t-faced on the moped, Bluetooth box brought the perfect sound
We smashed the cigarette machine
Showed off the loot, everybody wanted to fix us
We slept in class and got grilled
So we ditched school and played hooky
First time Bacardi
Drunk at a party
The very very first time she lay in my arms
The first bust-up, summer '69
But I know those times are far from over
We camp on gravel, we never go home
Marlboro Gold, watch the sun come up
I hustle my beats, Marie-ie-ie's in my arms
Tell me, how do I get those days back?
Hey, forever young turned into memories
But my glass isn't empty yet
Tonight we drink to us, it's far from over
That time was so f*ckin' gre-e-eat
It was so f*ckin' gre-e-eat
But my glass isn't empty yet
Till sunrise, there's still more to come
We camp on gravel, we never go home
Marlboro Gold, watch the sun come up
I hustle my beats, Marie-ie-ie's in my arms
Tell me, how do I get those days back?

SONG MEANING

“Zelten Auf Kies” invites you to roll out a sleeping bag on rough gravel and relive the riotous nights when nothing mattered except friends, first loves, and the next sunrise. The lyrics paint a movie-like montage: sneaking cigarettes, blasting beats from a shaky Bluetooth speaker, demolishing a vending machine for the thrill, and collapsing into each other’s arms under a sky turning pink. It’s the soundtrack of carefree teenage rebellion, where a Marlboro Gold and a bottle of Bacardi felt like passports to freedom, and the local sports field doubled as an endless universe.

At its heart, the song is a bittersweet toast to nostalgia. The singer raises a half-empty glass to memories that still feel “geil” (awesome) and asks the question every adult dreamer knows: How do we get those days back? Though time has turned “forever young” into a collection of stories, the chorus vows the night is “noch lange nicht um” (far from over). In other words, youth may fade, but the spirit of those gravel-camping escapades keeps burning—as long as there’s music to spin and another dawn to chase.
