Tante Emma [English translation]

In the shopping center and discounter

I am always in a bad mood

In the endlessly huge supermarket

I am close to a heart-attack

There are so many things in the racks

I don't know what I should take

Buying something comes close to torture

I only go the corner shop:

In the corner shop

Right at the corner over there

When the bell rings at the door

It's close to nostalgia

At the supermarket I am alone

Nobody helps me when I am searching for something

I push around my cart

And look what the other people buy

Then I stand in the line to pay

No, I can't picture that at all

I know where I am still a customer

I go to the corner shop

In the corner shop

Right at the corner over there

When the bell rings at the door

It's close to nostalgia

It's private at the corner shop

It's no vending machine

When I can't pay my stuff

The saleswoman says it doesn't matter and she'll put it on the cuff

When the corner shop does not exist anymore

And the discounter takes its place

I will sit down on the sidewalk

And start a hunger strike

In the corner shop

Right at the corner over there

When the bell rings at the door

It's close to poetry
