Cudzinka v tvojej zemi [English translation]

Just yesterday, we spoke the same language

and despite the few foreign words,

I managed to read your letters.

Today, the foreign ones outweigh the familiar

What the hell is up with that?

What's up with that?

Just yesterday, we all spoke the same way,

with just a few small deviations

Today, I feel like an idiot

when all the words sound foreign to me

What the hell is wrong with us...

What is wrong with us?

Yesterday I could understand you,

I still understand individual words.

But the meaning of the sentence escapes you,

and you need to try again and again.

I look into a dictionary

and try to overcome this nightmare,

that yesterday, I was your whole world

and now I'm not anymore.

I look into a dictionary and feel sad,

that now, I'm just a foreigner in your country.

Just yesterday, we spoke the same language,

but our shared vocabulary is running thin.

My quips are not witty anymore, just cutting

and they keep tearing and tearing through the string of our conversations.

Just yesterday, we spoke the same way

but words change their meanings

and every ship becomes a shipwreck

Familiar people become strangers

And we mix up especially that, which is important

and especially our heads

Yesterday, you told me witty stories

today, you're learning the alphabet

And I'm waiting what you'll come up with again

be with me, but don't wake me up anymore!

I look into a dictionary

and try to overcome this nightmare,

that yesterday, I was your whole world

and now I'm not anymore.

I look into a dictionary and feel sad,

that now, I'm just a foreigner in your country.

Just yesterday, we spoke without any problem

and now, we understand each other best when we don't speak

Words like to lead us on

and I haven't been able to read between the lines for a long time now

Just yesterday, we spoke the same language

but danger awaits in sentences now

Words malicious as venomous snakes

that will surely betray us in these crooked compound sentences

We have a blank map in front of us

maybe we have no drive

But I still understand your body language,

even though it's only when I'm naked

I look into a dictionary

and try to overcome this nightmare,

that yesterday, I was your whole world

and now I'm not anymore.

I look into a dictionary and feel sad,

that now, I'm just a foreigner in your country...

That now, you're just a foreigner in my country...

That now, I'm just a foreigner in your country...
