Blumenkind [English translation]

It has already been so long since

We played cat and mouse

Then I revealed my hideout

Then you pulled me out of it

You were a pirate and I was a Squaw [1]

And today everything seems

so weird to you

We went that way back and forth

We invented a circle

There was a fire in the field

And it was so -hot

I was a dancer and you were my applause

We were like winners but strangely

lost

Just like I used to- I dance no more

The flowers are wilted and useful no more

I only thought- that it would be a pleasure

To be your flowerchild

Life became difficult for you

The abyss was your home

I have often searched for you there

But you hardly ever came out

We saw no light- ran criss-cross

You turned around and I did not see you anymore

Just like I used to dance ...

I was a dancer- you were my applause

We were like winners but strangely

lost

Just like I used to dance ...
