Vorsicht! Zerbrechlich [English translation]

She stands in the schoolyard

all alone.

You see by her face

she’s been crying.

She’s so teary-eyed; and

with such a pale face.

Wishes she could tell you --

Doesn’t trust herself.

“Caution; I’m fragile;

Handle with care.

There’s already so

much broken in me.

Caution; I’m fragile;

Handle with care.

Caution, I’m fragile --

Can’t help it; not my fault.”

The other school children

Laugh and give shouts.

She’d very much like

to also be so glad.

But she has a secret;

she’s so afraid.

She wants so much to tell them --

Doesn’t trust herself.

“Caution; I’m fragile;

Handle with care.

There’s already so

much broken in me.

Caution; I’m fragile;

Handle with care.

Caution, I’m fragile --

Can’t help it; not my fault.”

Tiny signals

can be overlooked.

Tiny signals;

just try to understand.

Tiny signals --

will not always be there;

will not always be there;

will not always be there.
