Romanze [English translation]

They met each other at the beach shortly before sunset

They giggled and were slightly abashed

Everything was so new, they hadn't known each other for long

He presented her a boquet of roses

She said "Roses awaken such romantic feelings"

He nodded and he said "Yes, undoubtedly

Just a few thousand molecules in the nose are enough

The smell of stuff called 'pheromones'"

And they sat together in silence for quite a while

And looked out over the ocean

And looked out over the ocean

She whispered "See! The moon is huge today!

The night is far too beautiful to ever end

It is so romantic here, I am breathless!"

And she grasped him softly with both hands

He said "The diameter of the moon in the sky

Is a consistent 31 arcminutes

So approximately half a degree, it's entirely evident

It'd be incorrect to assume different sizes"

And they sat together in silence for quite a while

And looked out over the ocean

And looked out over the ocean

There they sat by the ocean on this warm Summer night

She reached for his hand and softly sighed:

"How wonderfully the stars twinkle; it is magnificent!"

And she snuggled up to him tenderly

He looked at her and only said "The stars don't twinkle.

It would be insane if it were so.

Perhaps it looks like it, but the light is just distorting

In the upper layers of the atmosphere"

And they sat together in silence for quite a while

And looked out over the ocean

And then she went home without him.
