Trink mit mir [English translation]

He got himself a chair

And started a conversation

Simply sat down beside me

As if there was no other place

In the bar around us

Just here at my table

On his finger there was a part

Slightly lighter than the rest

Where he used to wear his wedding ring

He thought he was really smart

And he believed

That I would not figure it out

Drink with me!

I'm also only sitting around

Because I fear to go home

The evening is still long

And it seems to be the same with you

Stay here and drink with me!

Come and tell me about you

Even if it's easy to figure it out

And I should not trust you!

I like you - what's your problem?

He wanted to please me

And he was, like almost all the others,

Not capable of a real feeling

He drank, and he drank a lot

Too much

And with time passing by I felt sorry for him

But sympathy and love are unfortunately different

And sometime later I said:

At home your wife is waiting

And she likes you

And if you go to her

Bring some flowers with you!

Drink with me!

I'm also only sitting around

Because I fear to go home

The evening is still long

And it seems to be the same with you

Stay here and drink with me!

Come and tell me about you

Even if it's easy to figure it out

And I should not trust you!

I like you - what's your problem?

And sometime later he left

With swaying steps

And looked miserable while leaving

He said: I have no home

Because my wife ran away yesterday

So come on:

Drink with me!

I'm also only sitting around

Because I fear to go home

The evening is still long

And it seems to be the same with you

Stay here and drink with me!

Come and tell me about you

Even if it's easy to figure it out

And I should not trust you!

I like you - what's your problem?

Because this life is so hard

The flat is so empty

My only solace

It's you

I say: Drink up fast

And then go home fast

You may be able to beautifully lie

But to talk me around

You're lying - a bit too good!
