Carrying on from Conni&#8217;s post (which you can find <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/german\/my-top-german-songs-of-the-decade\/\">here<\/a>), I will also be sharing my top three German songs of this decade as the year comes to a close. Below are my favorite\u00a0three songs that I hope you enjoy just as much as I do.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><b>Sido &#8211; Tausend Tattoos (2018)<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With a catchy chorus, the rapper Sido raps about his &#8220;tausend&#8221; (thousand) tattoos and what they mean. The repetitive phrase &#8220;for you&#8221; means you can sing along even if you don&#8217;t understand the words yet, and towards the end of the song &#8220;for you&#8221; changes to &#8220;f\u00fcr dich&#8221;, so you will be rapping away in German in no time!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sido - Tausend Tattoos (prod. by Djorkaeff &amp; Beatzarre)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/O-aUMnnbIX0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong><b>Andreas Bourani &#8211; Auf uns (2014)<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I love this feel good song! &#8220;Auf uns&#8221; meaning &#8220;to us&#8221;, this song is basically congratulating ourselves and everything we can achieve in our\u00a0lives. See if you can translate the chorus below:<\/p>\n<p>Ein Hoch auf uns, uns<\/p>\n<p>Auf dieses Leben<\/p>\n<p>Auf den Moment<\/p>\n<p>Der immer bleibt<\/p>\n<p>Ein Hoch auf uns, uns<\/p>\n<p>Auf jetzt und ewig<\/p>\n<p>Auf einen Tag<\/p>\n<p>Unendlichkeit<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Andreas Bourani - Auf uns (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/k9EYjn5f_nE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong><b>Sarah Connor &#8211; Wie Sch\u00f6n Du Bist (2015)<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A song dedicated to her son, which has beautiful lyrics that we can all relate to about someone that we know. My favorite\u00a0lines are: &#8220;Wie all deine Farben und all deine Narben&#8221; (with all of your colors, and all of your scars) &#8220;Wei\u00dft du noch gar nicht wie sch\u00f6n du bist!&#8221; (do you not know\u00a0how beautiful you are!)<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sarah Connor - Wie sch\u00f6n Du bist (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1gDbpWC_9pE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It was so hard to just pick three songs, and now I want to hear your favorite songs from this decade!
