German and English Lyrics

In our collection of German and English lyrics for German songs, the English translations of the German lyrics make it easy and fun for English-speakers to understand and use German music as a tool to learn German.

You’ll find a wide variety of music here, ranging from Rammstein to The Sound of Music! We even offer the German lyrics for songs by the Beatles and Johnny Cash! (Yes, they made recordings in German.)

Most of the German song lyrics collection is still online at my former About.com German Language site (and we link to that), but all of the newly added lyrics are right here at AboutGerman.net, including the German lyrics from the film version of THE SOUND OF MUSIC (known in German as MEINE LIEDER, MEINE TRÄUME) and some great songs by Max Raabe (album pictured above).
