Blätter [English translation]

[Verse 1]

Leaves

Fall like stones

I stand

Below my old tree

The blossoms

I cry for

Are sticky, old

And grey, ooh...

[Chorus]

Write

Your name

On an empty sheet of paper 1 [for me]

So that I

Can guess

What things I am talking to

[Verse 2]

All those

Sniveling guilty pleasures

Weigh heavy tied to my foot

Things

That I never wanted

They laid into my shoe

[Chorus]

Write

Your name

On an empty sheet of paper [for me]

So that I

Can guess

Through which things I break them

1. A play of words, a sheet of paper is also called "Blatt", just like the leaves on trees
