Kein Pokal [English translation]

Even if you accuse me

And swear you like me,

I don't mind at all.

Whether you hiss or bite,

Call me confused or immature,

Vow vengeance till doomsday.

It's about time you wake up!

All bags are packed,

And the days are numbered

And none is missing.

I don't like much to be on my own,

But I like to be without you.

I don't know where I belong to,

But I know you bother me.

Cloud nine is still far away.

Perhaps I just ask for trouble,

My heart a sieve.

Do you think I can't live without you?

Your compassion constricts me.

You don't get me - and you dont' get me down.

I feel emotionally extorted.

I suffocate in this selfmade nest,

Because you don't leave me in peace.

I'm no quarry, no price cup,

No hunting trophy

To seduce and then bring down,

Untill it doesn't move any more.

We've outlived each other,

It's just over and done.

I don't know where I belong to,

But I know you bother me.

Cloud nine is still far away.

Perhaps I just ask for trouble.

Before a hell will be let loose:

We loved each other enough,

We loved for nothing,

Loved to no avail.

I don't know where I belong to,

But definitely not to you.

Cloud nine is still far away.

Perhaps I just ask for trouble,

My heart a sieve.

I see my future without you,

I put an end to this.

There are no similarities,

No spiritual kinship,

My heart is like a sieve.

We loved on trial.

We loved on trial.
