Ganz anders [English translation]

Yeah, come on, hit, hit it

[Oh yeah]

[Oh yeah, yeah, Udo's in the house]

[Oh yeah, listen]

[I'm telling you]:

Actually, I'm nothing like that

But too often I just haven't got the time to be myself

Right now, you're meeting someone

Whom I know just as little as you do

I've got so many appointments

At the disco, in court and at the bank

So I simply send my alter egos there

While the real me is staying in the closet

Refrain:

I'm not at all the kind of guy

That everybody thinks I am

And I'm going to

Prove that to you some time soon

Actually, I'm nothing like that

But too often I just haven't got the time to be myself

Right now

You're meeting someone

Whom I know just as little as you do

I'm pretty sure you've got a wrong picture of me in your head

Something just like a real Kujau1

I'm sorry, it's not my fault

Because my real me is currently on vacation

(Refrain)

In the end, I've got one question left:

Why do you always take everything I say

Literally? That's quite a shame.

(Refrain)

Actually, we're nothing like that

But too often we just haven't got the time to be ourselves

Right now, you're meeting some people

Whom we know just as little as you do
