Imus [English translation]

I knew right away I was being idiotic

When the door slammed in my face like a guillotine

And it made my mood black as the gloomiest goth

And I figured from now on, I'll always grab opportunities

I've been quite the fool

Reluctant, stiff and taciturn

I've watched from afar and said no

Dropped out and lost out on anything new

I was such a downer1, but not anymore, now I'm different

Whether playing rugby or bungee jumping

I'll think later and act first.

Ask me along, I'll empower you

You know you can count on me, I'll empower you

I'll jump in the saddle right away, I'll empower you

We can do whatever, I'll empower you

Ask me along, I'll empower you

You know you can count on me, I'll empower you

I'll jump in the saddle right away, I'll empower you

We can do whatever, I'll empower you

I'll empower you, hey, hey, I'll empower you

I'll empower you, hey, hey, I'll empower you

I'll empower you, hey, hey, I'll empower you

Ask me along, I'll empower you

You know you can count on me, I'll empower you

If you ask me somewhere, I'll be there for sure

I'll go even though I might regret it later

No politician-talk or cell phone language

Those kinds of explanations won't do anymore

You can't arrange anything through group messages

Gotta have your name on the list and be the driver

You just entertain fantasies

With idle chatter and tepid talk

Come if you will, no choosing between options

Anyone who can't move, we'll fetch on a stretcher

That's just how it is, no leaving buddies hanging

No need to shake hands on unspoken agreements

No need to control

Think again if you mean to stand someone up2

All this equivocating just churns my stomach

Having a great evening is a joint affair

Ask me along, I'll empower you

You know you can count on me, I'll empower you

I'll jump in the saddle right away, I'll empower you

We can do whatever, I'll empower you

Ask me along, I'll empower you

You know you can count on me, I'll empower you

I'll jump in the saddle right away, I'll empower you

We can do whatever, I'll empower you

I'll empower you, hey, hey, I'll empower you

I'll empower you, hey, hey, I'll empower you

I'll empower you, hey, hey, I'll empower you

Ask me along, I'll empower you

You know you can count on me, I'll empower you

(Hello, are you coming?)

Oh, will I come along, no thanks

We're in the middle of exam week

Next week is completely jammed too

And you see, I gotta find time to clean too

I'm still getting over a cold

You must understand, I just don't have time now

We've got a situation at work

It's not exactly ideal weather out there either

I might Wolt3 some food here

Some other time then, it would've been cool to get together

But nothing's really working out today

(Are you serious?)

Heck no, damn straight I'll empower you

Ask me along, I'll empower you

You know you can count on me, I'll empower you

I'll jump in the saddle right away, I'll empower you

We can do whatever, I'll empower you

Ask me along, I'll empower you

You know you can count on me, I'll empower you

I'll jump in the saddle right away, I'll empower you

We can do whatever, I'll empower you

I'll empower you, hey, hey, I'll empower you

I'll empower you, hey, hey, I'll empower you

I'll empower you, hey, hey, I'll empower you

Ask me along, I'll empower you

You know you can count on me, I'll empower you

Hey, hey, I'll empower you

Hey, hey, I'll empower you

Hey, hey, I'll empower you

Ask me along, I'll empower you

You know you can count on me, I'll empower you
