Maskarada [English translation]

A human being can get used to everything

so I probably will too,

God-willing, God-willing:

So that I can act like

it doesn't hurt me

when you push me

to at least save that

which will allow itself to be saved.

To not ask you who

you are spending your nights with

and why we aren't sleeping together like before.

To not allow the anger to overpower me

so that I smash everything (in sight)

when, in the morning, you return to me from her.

Welcome, friends

to our little masquerade.

You are all invited

to the best party in town.

Crack open the champagne,

let's really let ourselves go crazy,

and even if we strip naked

our masks will remain.

A human being can get used to everything

so I probably will too,

God-willing, God-willing:

So that I can act like

I do not hear you

when you curse me

to save the little

that will allow itself to be saved.

So that I do not rue the day,

when I said 'I Do' to you,

or the children that I gave birth to for you.

And to fool everyone into thinking

that I am not upsetting myself

because I saw you with another woman.
