If you can't understand German and you aren't familiAr with the language, you can't know that they use cliches.
"Cliche" isn't just a language-specific thing. There may be cliches that are specific to a language, but there is also such thing as THEMATIC cliches. Many themes are cliched and hackneyed, whether sung by Germans, by English people or whatever. You'd have to be from a culture where the themes are not cliched in order for it to not be hackneyed.
