Kogong [English translation]

[Verse 1]

You aren't doing well, not well at all*

Driving to your mother, only you and her

You don't dance to forget

No, you dance just to remember

You don't want a new beginning, just a clean slate

You need much more time to wander actually

What you still want from her

"I'll be home at 10, children"

[Pre-Chorus]

My heart told me everything

But I didn't really listen to it

[Chorus]

Kogong, kogong it wants to break through the concrete

It wants to loop in my head like an old Katy Perry song

Kogong, kogong, telegram not received

I am fucking Yoko Ono, my heart is Paul and John

Kogong, kogong, kogong, kogong

I want to hear nothing and beat my chest like King Kong

All the noise in vain, kogong, kogong

[Verse 2]

You do not listen, you really do not listen to anyone

You need your peace, fuck money, rest

Get on with it! Man, what are you doing

You hug each other much too long and

It doesn't matter where you are, you stay forever you

It doesn't matter how old you are, you stay forever you

Come, dear, tomorrow everything will be better

Let her closer to you

[Pre-Chorus]

My heart told me everything

But I didn't really listen to it

[Chorus]

Kogong, kogong it wants to break through the concrete

It wants to loop in my head like an old Katy Perry song

Kogong, kogong, telegram not received

I am fucking Yoko Ono, my heart is Paul and John

Kogong, kogong, kogong, kogong

I want to hear nothing and beat my chest like King Kong

All the noise in vain, kogong, kogong

[Bridge]

My heart rampages in my chest

Shouting and calling me for sanity's sake

But my world, so loud and colourful

It pushes it away, so it sounds silent

But it never ends

And I turn it up loud

[Chorus]

Kogong, kogong it wants to break through the concrete

It wants to loop in my head like an old Katy Perry song

Kogong, kogong, telegram not received

I am fucking Yoko Ono, my heart is Paul and John

Kogong, kogong, kogong, kogong

I want to hear nothing and beat my chest like King Kong

All the noise in vain, kogong, kogong

[Outro]

Every beat in vain, kogong, kogong

All the noise in vain, kogong, kogong
