Lied für Zwärge [English translation]

She woke up this morning

In the midst of giants, big and huge.

If she tries to explain

She has to scream frantically.

They do not see her, not at all

If she is not raging right in front of them

Or is pecking some holes in their ears

With her axe.

Be a little bit quiet and look at the ground!

The giants tear huge holes here in the forest

And build big castles giantlike.

But who, who shall live in them?

There are only few of you

But there are millions of them

Scratching at the door.

Be a little bit quiet and look at the ground!

On many, small, thousand dwarfs do you stand.

Thanks to many, small, thousand dwarfs do you stand.

Not long did it last

Compared to eternity

That the dwarfs from desire

Decayed to dust.

And the giants sank down.

Because gravity does not know any rights

Neither for borderlines

Nor for size or gender.
