I push aside the blankets,1 open the window and let it blow through2
I dance barefoot and alone in a circle before I get back in (bed)
I've been staring at the same spot for an hour,
The bedside lamp flickers
My legs tingle,
But I can't leave here
And on the radio they've stopped playing music.
From the swamp in the fridge I don't come out anymore.3
I believe I've lost perspective4
(It's) lacking a bit of order here, if I need all that (anyway),
Most of it I've borrowed from you.
But when I say "today", I actually mean "tomorrow"
Instead of (getting) home early its become late again
And if I wasn't so lazy, I'd get into my pyjamas5
But here I am, now I'm tidying up, now its getting loud.
I push aside the sheets, open the window
And let it blow through.
I dance barefoot and alone in circles before I get back in.
Cold air sweeps through my head and I almost overflow6, but
I push aside the sheets and dance alone in (a) circle7 before I go crazy.8
A loud bang, a short flight,
The television bit the dust first,9
(Then) the night lamp and the fridge as well.
Everything that fits through the window must go (out).
When I say "today", I don't mean "tomorrow" anymore.
If it's my turn later, that's also ok.
I'm on-and-off lazy, but I don't worry about it.
I am here, now I'm tidying up, now it's getting loud.
I push aside the sheets, open the window
And let it blow through.
I dance barefoot and alone in circles before I get back in.
Cold air sweeps through my head and I almost overflow, but
I push aside the sheets and dance alone in circles before I go crazy.
I push aside the sheets, open the window

I push aside the sheets and dance in (a) circle.
1. literally "I transfer the sheets"2. I assume "it" here refers to the wind3. I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean...4. or "view"/"outlook"/"survey"5. literally "I'd already be undressed"6. literally "boiled over"7. or "in circle(s)"8. literally "turn through" or "go berserk"9. "dran glauben müssen" is a phrase meaning "to bite the dust"
