Monster [English translation]

I really want to stand up,

But it doesn’t happen.

I’m not going to go,

for I make myself late.

I close my eyes again

And everything spins

No one believes what I see here

No one understands me.

There is a monster in my room,

And it is always staring at me.

It is really getting worse all the time

Because I can’t decide for myself;

It inhibits me,

disgraces me,

inspects me,

and laughs at me.

There is a monster in my room.

I’m already losing patience.

The monster in my room

is to blame for everything.

It rings at the door.

I’m not allowed to go.

The washing is piled up in front of me.

I’m not allowed to have a look.

Right now I’m calling you.

I am not allowed to dial.

Really, I’m not allowed to tell

You anything at all.

There is a monster in my room,

And it is always staring at me.

It is really getting worse all the time

Because I can’t decide for myself;

It inhibits me,

disgraces me,

inspects me,

and laughs at me.

There is a monster in my room.

I’m already losing patience.

The monster in my room

is to blame for everything.

At night I go to the refrigerator.

I just know

That I will never become slender.

Even if I would like to sleep,

It is never silent.

And I have to do things

That I don’t want to do at all.

There is a monster in my room,

And it is always staring at me.

It is really getting worse all the time

Because I can’t decide for myself;

It inhibits me,

disgraces me,

inspects me,

and laughs at me.

There is a monster in my room.

I’m already losing patience.

The monster in my room is to blame for everything.
