Am ersten Sonntag nach dem Weltuntergang [English translation]

Cruel is the shark

and cruel you were, too

At the end of the rainbow

the rain is getting harder

and floods in exuberance

just behind the train crossing

the street with empty bottles, stones and mud

And I walk along Kurfürstendamm one more time

Unfaithful is the sun

and unfaithful were you, too

With the purchase of a new life

you get a cigarette for free

I smoke it on the way home

so nobody gets bothered and secretly

I put your picture in a bin on fire with it

And then I walk along Kurfürstendamm one more time

On the first sunday after doomsday

Beautiful was life

Bad was the world

Good was the love

Bad the money

Vicious the dog and dear was the horse

But today it is the other way round

At the Kurfürstendamm

On the first sunday after doomsday

Up is where you are

and down is where I

wait in rubber boots for

the sky revolving around itself

every few hours

and for the passing of the time somehow

that one needs to grasp that one is still alive

And then I walk along Kurfürstendamm one more time

On the first sunday after doomsday
