Brief/Telefon/Tür [English translation]

Today I got a letter from a woman

I have once (I think)

Known and loved her

Whenever that could have been?

I don't really know

I have opened the letter

But I didn't read it

I have put it on the table

And looked at it

One hour later the phone was ringing

The way it sounded today was a bit peculiar

I took off the receiver

And put it on the wall

Someone said words

And then sentences with names

I have put it on the table

And looked at it

No time for silly jokes

I am busy getting older

We will see who will have the last laugh

You'll soon be laughing out of the other side of your face

No time for silly jokes

I urgently need to get older

We will see who will have the last laugh

And the rumours will be cleared out

They will be cleared out

Asshole

In the evening there was a knocking at the door

Once only in the beginning

And then a second time

Then there was a break and then it knocked again

I was sitting on my chair and had to smile

I have put myself on the table

And looked at it

No time for silly jokes

I am busy getting older

We will see who will have the last laugh

You'll soon be laughing out of the other side of your face

No time for silly jokes

I urgently need to get older

We will see who will have the last laugh

And the rumours will be cleared out

They will be cleared out

Asshole

No time

No time

I am busy getting older
