Ohne dich [English translation]

I’m pleased that you're pleased to see me again,

and it's nice that you ask how I'm doing.

I know what you want to hear – rather don't ask.

Everything's better without you.

I look bad? Very well then, if you deem so.

Whereas you are more beautiful than ever.

And what does that tell us? I don’t know.

Everything's better without you.

Without you life runs straight ahead and the sun in the circle.

Without you the moon is always full and every Christmas white,

and the other tchotchke (knick-knack) isn’t bothering me.

Everything's better without you.

Take care of yourself and don't give me a call.

Stay the way you are and leave me alone.

The truth is plain and simple.

Everything's better without you.
