You told me all you had to say, after years of silence
You even told me that you loved me, for god's sake, did you have to?
Had I been the Danube, you would have dried me up
I give to you freely (lit. by hand and by hat) and you sent me into poverty
You take and you demand but you never give me what you give others
Maybe I should really jump off a bridge, since there is never enough money
But at least I'm still alive
I work like a horse, all night and day
Just so I have enough to give you
And I don't look at others, do you see how I'm being ruined
I work like a horse, all night and day
Just so I have enough to give to you
But it's never enough, what more do you want from me
Now you tell me towers and cities wouldn't be enough for you
Now you tell me to give you gold and jewels
Hold on just a little, don't you feel any shame
