Exil [English translation]

I need a carer

Who combs my hair

And powders my feet

When I’m thinking about dying

I am on a journey

That will separate me from life

I see no prizes

For undies, shoes and shirt

I feel nervous attacks

As strong as armpit sweat

They whip my senses

And batter my mind

Wild love, an enormous urge

Drives me forward into your warm lap

Heedless and half-rotten

I’ll stand then before you

I have never seen anything like you

I have never seen anything like you

I have never seen anything like you

I feel the heat rise

It pulls into my brain

I want to show muscles

And I fall on my face

I myself am my home

I need time and space

I often live freedom

Even if only in a dream

Wild love, an enormous urge

Drives me forward into your warm lap

Heedless and half-rotten

I’ll stand then before you

I have never seen anything like you

I have never seen anything like you

I have never seen anything like you
