Hey Thomas [English translation]

I haven't seen you for a long time

I was surprised to stand in front of you for once

I almost didn't even notice you

but the big red stone

gave away your name

It's been so many years

and so much has happened since then

shit comes and shit goes

we've a'eady seen most'v it.*

You're not here, but still you've missed

absolutely nothing

Next to you an old married couple,

one sits wonderfully at your feet

on the big fat tombstone

of a dead pig priest.**

so many years have gone by...

you are not here, but nonetheless

It's been so many years

and so much has happened since then

shit comes and shit goes

we've a'eady seen most'v it.

shit comes and shit stays

nothing but shit as far as the eye can see

congratulations to those who are already dead - Hey Thomas!

You're not here, and nonetheless...
