Grapefruit [English translation]

Gloom hangs above you on the wall

Like a very old garland with a sea of elephants

And concrete balloons

Which are shaped like monsters

Others wear timeless perfumes, but you wear this dismal look

So dismal that even Lana Del Rey would be jealous of you

You say that it's your fate

That "from now on..." - sorry, I don't believe in that

[Chorus]

And you know that things will become true if you say them often enough

Say them often --, today's gonna be a beautiful ...

You know, things will become true if you say them often enough

Say them often --, today's gonna be a beautiful day

Come, let's open up the windows, turn the radio up loud

Let fresh winds in and all the old doubts fly out

When you firmly believe, then you'll be happy

And today, we've got grapefruit for breakfast

Do you see? I understand you

It's just a theory for now, but I believe I understand you

I've felt similar to you before

Maybe I also know too little about you

But your sad face, that reminds me of me

You remind me of me

Because y'know, last year - in about exactly the same timeframe as now

I fought with blunt swords and ghosts

I laid in bed every day and asked myself questions

Stuff like: What the fuck is my plan in this world?

But all that head breaking, the dangerous fighting

And duels against myself really sapped all my energy

Until I held up a white flag towards happiness

Because, if I can win, then I've also lost something in the end

I always wanted to be like the others, but that brings absolutely nothing

And that's never gonna happen, anyway, because the others already exist

The day that became clear to me was my fresh start

And today I can say that I am my best friend

[Chorus]

And you know that things will become true if you say them often enough

Say them often --, today's gonna be a beautiful ...

You know, things will become true if you say them often enough

Say them often --, today's gonna be a beautiful day

Come, let's open up the windows, turn the radio up loud

Let fresh winds in and all the old doubts fly out

When you firmly believe, then you'll be happy

And today, we've got grapefruit for breakfast

And all these beautiful things in the world - it can't be down to chance

Mother Earth really tried to do her best for us

Time passes too quickly for the thought monsters to decay

And how you regard yourself, only you can decide that

And hugs, and flowers, and dancing in the summer rain

Hey, look: swimming, breathing, reading, sleeping

Friends and snapshots

Love, laughter, cooking, dancing

Christmas - how nice is this!

And then you suddenly realise that you are your own homeland

And you still sing, and we're both in the kitchen

And there's Coldplay, but above all, there's grapefruit for breakfast

And one more thing: when you break your leg, you go to the orthopaedist

So maybe you could also talk to a therapist

Because you're not crazy - at least no crazier than I am

Take off your summertime sadness and show me your face

And I want to tell you so much fucking more, like:

You don't have to suffer through phases like this - at least not secretly

Don't listen to the doubts, because you're not alone here

And everything always carries on, carries on, just like us

[Chorus]

And you know that things will become true if you say them often enough

Say them often --, today's gonna be a beautiful ...

You know, things will become true if you say them often enough

Say them often --, today's gonna be a beautiful day

Come, let's open up the windows, turn the radio up loud

Let fresh winds in and all the old doubts fly out

When you firmly believe, then you'll be happy

And today, we've got grapefruit for breakfast

And you know that things will become true if you say them often enough

Say them often --, today's gonna be a beautiful ...

You know, things will become true if you say them often enough

Say them often --, today's gonna be a beautiful day
