Auf dem Feld [English translation]

I've learnt love

You've put me far off

I'm not in your eyes

Gone from your minds

Fighting a queer war

Sticking in a deep shaft

Nobody cries for me

I'm lacking trust

It's not about winning

Only about a stale victory

And also about my narrow self.

Dance the golden calf!

Keep your shoulders cold!

Go ahead with your plans,

and close the windows!

Step the beautiful shoe

Sing a song with it

Because you can only be happy

If you can forget

I'm my own diary

At home I'm good for nothing

Standing on the mine

Sleeping on the field

And no home is hurting

Because it spares me out

Dance the golden calf!

Keep your shoulders cold!

Go ahead with your plans,

and close the windows!

Step the beautiful shoe

Sing a song with it

Because you can only be happy

If you can forget

Talking monologues

Speaking up for myself

Fighting silent rage and doubts with empty courage

Lying in my fears, in my loyalty, my territory

I'm representing a vague idea and here I#m getting eaten up

Dance the golden calf!

Keep your shoulders cold!

Go ahead with your plans,

and close the windows!

Step the beautiful shoe

Sing a song with it

Because you can only be happy

If you can forget

So dance the golden calf

It's getting harder soon

Nothing is for free

And things are getting tight

If it doesn't concern you

It's only poison for you

Because you can only be happy

If you can forget

Because you can only be happy

If you can forget
