Kommt ein Mann in die Bar [English translation]

A guy walks into a bar

And the bartender says: It's over now

It's been a long time since that was funny

Not because it never wasn't funny,

but rather the bottom line is much too bad for punchlines that, the closer you look at them, the worse they are.

A dog waits in front of the door

And the man says: All right!

Long faces everywhere

because nothing is like it was before (in the good old times)

Because every good joke at someone else's expense is somehow too expensive for whoever's not in on the joke.

And at the gaming machine a girl hopes

the sun may rise now (she may have luck now)

like a timber pile in a garden hopes to become green each year

when spring is coming/is at our door

The girl says: We should

perhaps abandon hope

The roof is leakproof, the beer is cold

The heart was broken a long time ago

And the harbour is only important for the person who wants to come back and a so well-ment revolt is only useful for the one who wanted it

"I was young", the man tells

Learnt swimming and they stood at the pool edge

and shouted:

"Breathe in, breathe out"

I keeled over with laughter and nearly drowned, I gulped water and understood that I can't expect more

In the playground on the opposite a dog bites himself through a tire

Among the children with their mothers, who are so tired of feeding the mice for the snakes

Perhaps, perhaps it isn't easy to bear all this

Hope has already run on ahead to dig the grave

Pehaps the smart one recognizes that and the fool makes remarks

And one stands it and the other starts running to get support

And the girl gets payed out and the man has already been home for a while and the bartender wipes the bar and says

Tomorrow it is......

perhaps, perhaps even more difficult to bear all this alone

Hope has already run on ahead to dig the grave

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps, perhaps this will be the last night

Otherwise I'll continue my search until I've found you
