Wen D'r Maar Aan [English translation]

You can hate me, jabber behind my back

I am who I am

I won't budge, yes, get used to it

For I am who I am

They hate you and me

It takes a lot of trouble to be myself

For I've been fighting for much too long

The people who expect more than I can give

They jabber about you and me

Thinking they know who we are

I think nothing of it

I've donned a mask

And thus I go through life

Unknown to anybody

I've given up courage

I just won't budge, yes, get used to it

For I am who I am

Often unpopular but not yet given up

No, no, oh no

I think nothing of it

No, no, oh no

Often misunderstood but that's life

It is what it is

I smile when in sorrow but I don't mention it (to you)

Ah, well, it is what it is

They jabber about you and me

Too many people just don't really get what I mean

That's why I find it hard to just talk about my feelings

They hate you and me

Thinking they know who we are

I think nothing of it

I've donned a mask

And thus I go through life

Unknown to anybody

I've given up courage

I just won't budge, yes, get used to it

For I am who I am

Often unpopular but not yet given up

No, no, oh no

I think nothing of it

No, no, oh no
