Rysunkowa postać [English translation]

Someone drew me a new nose,

Another face and a pair of other hands,

And then mercilessly rubbed out

All that was my own self.

He grabbed me by the collar and pinned me

To a Bristol board1 with a painted background.

Since that time I’ve never known…

I really don’t know

What I’m supposed, what I’m supposed to do.

Is it going to always stay this way?

I feel like a cartoon character.

Who was that guy who hit upon the idea

Of surrounding me, out of spite,

With a world made of paper, of paper.

They make me walk a fairytale road,

Keep fighting with a paper dragon,

Live and sleep in paper houses,

Steal a paperboard moon from the sky.

Oh, Fate! Oh, Fate!

I keep being hit at a nose that’s not mine.

Even though I try,

I cannot, I cannot escape

From this land of paper hearts.

Is it going to always stay this way?

I feel like a cartoon character.

Who was that guy who hit upon the idea

Of surrounding me, out of spite,

With a world made of paper, of paper.

Oh, oh, oh, a world made of paper.

A world made of pa-pa-pa-pa-paper.

Is it going to stay this way?

Always a cartoon character

Always a cartoon character
