Das Ende meiner Karriere [English translation]

And then came Monday

I searched the city

The local men

That I am so tired of

Jerked back to life

More luck than courage

My mouth much too red

And I felt good.

I met the man, who promised me success

He invited me to his home

He wanted me to take his name

But I said no

That was the end of that career

that was the end before the beginning

So I don't know what would have come

Because I stayed who I am

And then came the day to day routine

I said, "Hello"

Painted my nails

And went into the office

Politely typed his letters.

Proved my talent

would finally bring me upstairs [1]

So that they would know me

I relied solely on my sex appeal

and on my long legs

My boss said that was too much

He said, "Anna stop it"

That was the end...

And then came the Spring

I went back

After that letdown

I had to let it out

I saw a stage

and a microphone

I began to sing

I searched for the rhythm

And now that I sing my life is colorful

As long as they let me

And I cry my heart out

Make the bitterness a feast

That is the beginning of my career

That is the start and the beginning

So I don't know what would have come

Because I stayed who I am
