Die Zigarette Danach [English translation]

you get dressed – don't turn around

no word from you – I can hardly believe it

because everything I once did

makes me sick – I know

to you it looks different

& everything I once began

was not worth the day

now that it looks different

the cigarette after & the sekt before

& the kiss in the middle

that can't be all of it

the cigarette after & what one just says

the smoke disturbs the play

& slowly you say - adieu

you move your hand across your face – laugh a little too long

say just a word – do I trust you or not

because everything you also do

wakes my courage as new

to you it looks different

I don't want you to now go like that

that would not be worth the night

to me it looks different

I know you don't know me

but you can learn to

your laughter makes me lonely – when you now go &

it's too much dreamt of

when your hand is in my hand

the abyss is bearable

und der Kuss mittendrin

die Zigarette danach und was man halt so sagt

für mich sieht´s anders aus

...und langsam sagst du – vielleicht
