Streep Mijn Naam Maar Weg [English translation]

Cross out my name

From your address book

Many fives, even more sixes

Now that I open up,

Now that I can confess everything,

You have to get used to

That it is true what I say

Cross out my name

Don't flip through

the album with portraits anymore

And yellowed dry bouquets

Put them down now

Put them aside

Like a book from the old days

Because you only read it once

Better don't flip anymore

Lies are so beautiful

So quiet and enigmatic

As long as they are still themselves

As long as you believe them

Let them rest in your head

Because the truth hurts more

Don't flip through

your diaries and notebooks anymore

All pencils and markers

Never wrote something down

That can give you something to hold on to right now

That will make you survive right now

Do what I say once more:

Cross out my name
