Du lässt dich geh'n [English translation]

You are so weird to look at,

do you really think, I do appreciate that,

when you do not understand me any longer,

when you get only on my nerves?

I've been drinking during half the night,

and thus emboldened myself,

only to finally confess to you,

„I simply can't look at you any more!

With your sloppy figure

you offend my good taste.“

With you I can think of nothing else,

but to be well-behaved by day and night.

For weeks I've been living at your side

and do not feel anything at my side.

Only your chatter, so empty and stupid -

I am afraid that it will kill me.

Yes, in former times you were nice and beautiful.

You let yourself go!

You let yourself go!

You probably don't really imagine,

that you could be appealing to me,

with your uncovered knees,

with your deranged stockings.

You walk around in your dressing gown,

you even do not change for dinner.

In your hair I must see those curlers,

which are dangling all over to and fro.

And on top of everything these crooked heels -

how could I ever fall for something like that?

You show off to our friends,

and you make me a fool.

That makes me angry at night, even in my dreams,

and in my deep sleep.

I believed, that you loved me,

when I decided to stay with you forever.

If only you would be silent,

that would be great!

You let yourself go!

You let yourself go!

I think about it by day and night,

whether things could not be different.

Lastly you are my wife,

but I can't make sense of you any longer.

Show me, that you still love me,

just try a little bit.

With a little smile only -

and do something for your figure, too!

Then I would be encouraged again,

and everything would be fine.

Just be a little nice to me,

so that I don't lose you completely.

Remember the good times:

Our love at first sight!

How I came to your place in the evening

and took you in my arms.

It would be nice, if by my heart

you'd let yourself go!

There let yourself go!
