Du bist so hässlich [English translation]

Together I've lived way too long

with the same woman in the same burrow,

paying off my laps of life to her.

Always the same struggles for supremacy,

always the same duties at night.

I'm getting feeble and my brain is running out.

Our love got lost like a handkerchief,

and when she talks to me I'm standing outside of myself.

Only sometimes when I dream, I am reborn,

I play the strong man, and then I tell her:

You are so ugly that it's hard to bear,

your gait and smile do bother me,

so does the way you look at me.

You are so ugly that it's hard to bear,

your decency annoys me, and since long

it upsets me that you attract me,

that you still attract me.

It's true, I am a subordinate,

the world feels like glue,

and life is running past me full of lust.

The same duties day by day,

a shot glass of freedom, as agreed,

instead of being a hero I'm a wimp.

Then friends arrive, besieging my time.

The same old sayings, and I'm playing with my toes,

instead of leaping up and furiously standing wide

in front of them, so they can clearly hear each word:

You are so ugly that it's hard to bear,

and your childish songs of happiness and friendship kill me.

You are so ugly that it's hard to bear,

and your ridiculous urge to laugh with me, is so stupid,

so terribly stupid.

Together I've lived way too long

with the same woman in the same burrow,

paying off my laps of life to her.

The same cowardice each day,

concealing what you want to say.

I'm even running out of my heroic dreams.

And somewhen she will ask me, that's for sure,

why I kept running from myself all the time.

I will be speechless and, as always, will be silent,

and then she'll tell me, standing up in front of me in victory:

You are so ugly that it's hard to bear,

your gait and smile do bother me,

so does the way you look at me.

You are so ugly that it's hard to bear,

but since a long time it satisfies me,

that finally you don't attract me any longer,

that finally you don't attract me any longer.
