Ich bin nicht verliebt [Unverwundbar] [English translation]

I see you standing in front of me, unbelievably beautiful.

Perhaps I drank one beer too many and should leave now.

My God, how I search for words and don’t find any

for what I want to tell you, I don’t know any.

You say, you must slowly go away.

I nod, “yes, yes”

Why the hell don’t I say:

“Stay here please”?

I’m not in love, not at all with you.

Why don’t you get it? That’s ridiculous.

Do I look as if I were?

I’m invulnerable, that no longer happens to me.

I’m not in love, even if that were the case,

I wouldn’t tell you, that would be totally preposterous.

As long as I don’t know, whether you feel the same way,

I’m not in love, and you don’t hurt me.

I’m invulnerable!

Everything screams inside me: Say something, will you?! And yet I remain speechless.

Oh God, I hate myself for that - men are dumb.

You smile and lend me your hand: “Perhaps I’ll see you later”

I smile at you bashfully, “One just sees himself”

You slowly open the door

And ask me: “Will you be here tomorrow?

Same time, same bar?”

I beg: “Yes, yes!”

I’m not in love, not at all with you.

Why don’t you get it? That’s ridiculous.

Do I look as if I were?

I’m invulnerable, that no longer happens to me.

I’m not in love, even if that were the case,

I wouldn’t tell you, that would be totally preposterous.

As long as I don’t know, whether you feel the same way,

I’m not in love, and you don’t hurt me.

I’m not in love, not at all with you.

Why don’t you get it? That’s ridiculous.

Do I look as if I were?

I’m invulnerable, that no longer happens to me.

I’m not in love, even if that were the case,

I wouldn’t tell you, that would be totally preposterous.

As long as I don’t know, whether you feel the same way,

I’m not in love, and you don’t hurt me.

I’m invulnerable!
