Schulweg – 9th August 2025

~ shaun tenzenmen

seit dem kindergarten

unser alltag
gemeinsamer

kopf voller träume
offen
zum lernen

hand in hand
wir verlassen
den platz

und tragen unsere zukunft
in unseren herzen

gebildet

An up-and-down cherita for dVerse’s MTB and inspired by the attached picture. I used Google Translate to arrive at the German. I have no idea how poetic it might sound in that language – any tips appreciated. Here’s the original English write:

since kindergarten

our routine
together

head full of dreams
open
to learning

hand in hand
leaving
the square

carrying the future
in our hearts

educated

  9. A sweetly nostalgic and hopeful account! With my schoolgirl German, I think pretty much anything sounds heavily portentous in German, including this translation. But, that’s OK; such a tone could also fit the subject matter well.
