Gute Bekannte [English translation]

Let's shake hands and be good 'friends' (acquaintances),

With no obligations, no evil intent.

"Friends", you know, disappear, like written on the sand,

But that's okay, we were only good 'friends'.

[Part 1]

I have no real friends, just good 'friends' (acquaintances),

So, I don't have to thank anyone for flowers.

I can entertain visitors, as long as they're shy and awkward.

You hunched your shoulders, like you'd like to a hug,

But I wave you off.

No risks for me, and no, I'm not mad.

I've ventured lots of emotions on the Internet,

But I'll leave the room, if you talk about your private life.

I want no one to get too close.

You say, you'd like an Internet exchange.

I send out an email, you get the info,

Then you forward it on to a bunch of damned hooligans!

No problem! We're just good 'friends', right?

{Bridge} (2X)

I have you, you have me,

We keep this distance in between.

[Hook]

Let's shake hands and be good 'friends' (acquaintances),

With no obligations, no evil intent.

'Friendships', you know, one day disappear, like written in sand.

But that's okay. We were only good 'friends'.

[Part 2]

Small talk, but you always talk 'down',

To good 'friends', like those who deliver your fast food.

And when you give me a blood-red diamond,

I just say, you can move on, you have the 'green light',

Since 'friendships' can become daily problems.

You say you're heading for the cold north.

You ask, have I aborted my first illegitimate kid?

When we see each other again, the corks will pop. I'll be thirsty.

My marriage proposal is not serious, maybe.

You'll know by the way I answer the waiter's question:

Do you want the bill 'separate', or all together'?

Nothing is forever, this life has no scruples, it's the pits.

Before I lose a brother and an aunt, I'll make them good 'friends'.

[Bridge] (2X)

I have you, you have me,

And we'll keep this distance, in between.

[Hook]

Let's shake hands and be good 'friends' (acquaintances),

No obligations, and no evil intent.

We know that 'friendships' end, as though written in sand.

But that's no problem. We were only good 'friends'.

(Outro/Exit)

Solo (guitar plays here)

Ah, I'm all alone,

Solo! Forever!

So lonely!

I miss you!

Such a pity!
