Die schönsten Tage is a song by German pop/hip hop duo SDP and German singer and rapper Clueso. It appears on SDP’s 2022 album entitled Ein gutes schlechtes Vorbild. It reached #13 on the German charts.
mal – This term, meaning times or multiplied by, is often used in a way that is difficult to translate. This usage softens a request or command to make it more polite. A commonly heard example is schau mal, meaning look!. While no words are added to the translation, the sense of the phrase is different than if mal were not present. We see another example of this usage in this song with Lass mal was machen, was wir nie mehr vergessen meaning Let’s do something we’ll never forget.
schwarzfahren – This compound verb is a combination of the adjective schwarz meaning black and the verb fahren meaning to go, to drive or to ride. In German, as in English, schwarz can also be used to mean illegal (think black market). It translates as fare dodging. You can get accused of schwarzfahren either by taking public transport without a valid ticket or by driving a car without a valid driver’s license. It translates literally as black-riding. In this song, it appears as the past participle schwarzgefahren.
Weißt du noch? – This phrase is usually translated as do you remember?. It translates literally as do you still know?.
auf jemanden/etwas scheißen – This vulgar phrase means to not to give a sh*t about someone/something. It translates literally as to sh*t on someone/something. The person or thing being defecated upon will be in the accusative case.
Nevermind – This is the name of the second studio album by the American rock band Nirvana, which was released in September of 1991. Lead singer Kurt Cobain reportedly liked the title because it was a metaphor for his attitude on life and because it was grammatically incorrect.
trocken – This adjective means dry. Like its English counterpart, trocken can also mean alcohol-free (think dry January, or a dry event). With references to both rain and a bar, the song’s author seems to be playing with both meanings here.
los – When used on its own, los means let’s go, off we go or let’s start. It is a common colloquial shortening of los geht’s, from the separable verb losgehen, meaning to set off, to go off or to start. Los is the separable prefix of the verb.
egal – This is a common colloquial shortening of the phrase es ist mir egal which means it doesn’t matter or I don’t care. It translates literally as it is unimportant to me.

Lyrics with Translation
Songs in any language often leave room for multiple interpretations. Following is my interpretation of the song lyrics.
Die schönsten Tage The most beautiful days
[Chorus] Die schönsten Tage war’n schon immer die Nächte The most beautiful days have always been the nights Kein’n Plan zu haben, war schon immer der beste Not having a plan has always been the best Was machst du heut noch? What are you still doing today? Ich frag’ nur aus Intresse I’m just asking out of interest Lass ma’ was machen, was wir nie mehr vergessen Let’s do something we’ll never forget
[Verse 1] Die besten Freunde, die verrücktesten Nächte The best friends, the craziest nights Die Sonne geht auf und wir geh’n als letzte The sun is coming up and we’re going to be the last to leave Der erste Trip, der erste Kuss The first trip, the first kiss Wir teil’n den letzten Drink, verpassen den letzten Bus We share the last drink, miss the last bus Mucke laut, Arm in Arm singen wir „Forever Young“ Music loud, arm in arm, we sing “Forever Young” In den Club schwarzgefahr’n, hatten nie ein’n Masterplan Fare-dodging in the club, never had a master plan Es gibt keine Aktion, die uns zu krass war There is no action that was too crass for us Denn man bereut nur das, was man nie gemacht hat Because you only regret what you never did
[Chorus] Die schönsten Tage war’n schon immer die Nächte The most beautiful days have always been the nights Kein’n Plan zu haben, war schon immer der beste Not having a plan has always been the best Was machst du heut noch? What are you still doing today? Ich frag’ nur aus Intresse I’m just asking out of interest Lass ma’ was machen, was wir nie mehr vergessen Let’s do something we’ll never forget
[Verse 2] Schlechtes Benehm’n, doch die besten Geschichten Bad behavior, but the best stories Wir sagen sorry, statt um Erlaubnis zu bitten We say sorry instead of asking for permission Weißt du noch? Do you remember? Wir teilten mein kleines Bett We shared my little bed Deine Eltern war’n entsetzt, sie wollten ‘nen Typ mit Cash Your parents were horrified, they wanted a guy with cash Keine Nacht gepennt, es war wir gegen den Rest No night slept, it was us against the rest Nichts konnte uns stoppen, auch kein Gesetz Nothing could stop us, not even the law Wir sind zwei von Millionen We’re two out of millions Und schlafen könn’n wir, wenn wir tot sind And we can sleep when we’re dead
[Chorus] Die schönsten Tage war’n schon immer die Nächte The most beautiful days have always been the nights Kein’n Plan zu haben, war schon immer der beste Not having a plan has always been the best Was machst du heut noch? What are you still doing today? Ich frag’ nur aus Intresse I’m just asking out of interest Lass ma’ was machen, was wir nie mehr vergessen Let’s do something we’ll never forget
[Verse 3] So vieles war geil, weil wir nicht wussten So much was cool, because we did not know Was wirklich gut ist, vermisse die Zeit What is really good, I miss the time Wir war’n so frei, obwohl wir nur mussten We were so free, even though we just had to Denn abends war Party von Juni bis Mai Because the evenings were parties from June to May Scheiß’ auf Konsequenzen, Kurt Cobain, Nevermind I don’t give a sh*t about consequences, Kurt Cobain, Nevermind Einfach keine Grenzen kenn’n, Unendlichkeit Just knowing no limits, infinity Wir war’n schon immer anders, aber nie allein We’ve always been different, but never alone Egal, wohin wir gehen, komm, wir geh’n zu weit No matter where we go, come on, we’re going too far Ich will noch mal los, dass irgendwas steigt I want to go again, so that something goes up Genauso wie damals, komm, hast du Zeit? Just like back then, come on, do you have time? Auch wenn es regnet, ist doch egal Even if it rains, it doesn’t matter Keiner ist trocken in unserer Bar No one is dry in our bar
[Chorus] Die schönsten Tage war’n schon immer die Nächte The most beautiful days have always been the nights Kein’n Plan zu haben, war schon immer der beste Not having a plan has always been the best Was machst du heut noch? What are you still doing today? Ich frag’ nur aus Intresse I’m just asking out of interest Lass ma’ was machen, was wir nie mehr vergessen Let’s do something we’ll never forget Die schönsten Tage war’n schon immer die Nächte The most beautiful days have always been the nights Kein’n Plan zu haben, war schon immer der beste Not having a plan has always been the best Was machst du heut noch? What are you still doing today? Ich frag’ nur aus Intresse I’m just asking out of interest Lass ma’ was machen, was wir nie mehr vergessen Let’s do something we’ll never forget
