Schlaflos, Pt. 2 [English translation]

You raise your glass once more

To my trust, to your fidelity

You talk too loudly whenever you lie -

Empty crystal is so transparent1

Like a restless person seeking his destination

Cannot linger at one place

Tell me, how many tooth brushes have you

Distributed in how many bathrooms?2

When you leave, I stand waiting in the hallway

When you are asleep, I lie beside you, awake

By daylight I block you out

Only when it gets dark do I get weak

I look up and see the same side of the moon again

The same pale face that is enthroned above us, as usual

Yet the cold light is but appearance

Your lies are sweet wine

When the morning comes, these illusions fade

The same side of the moon

It just hurts when I only think of it

And gloomy thoughts are easily blocked out

The moth flies like crackbrained around the fire

Until its wings are scorched

We get ensnarled by compromises

And you are keeping up appearances

Which makes your conscience turn hollow, like a ladder/run in a stocking

And you cannot stop at all

I look up and see the same side of the moon again

The same pale face that is enthroned above us, as usual

Yet the cold light is but appearance

Your lies are sweet wine

When the morning comes, these illusions fade

The same side of the moon

1. Ican easily read your face and realize your words are empty2. How many women have you moved in with?
