Schlechtes Karma [English translation]

This morning in the rain the tram

drove away before my eyes.1

The first time didn't matter much to me

until I see: Hey! The driver was laughing at me!

Then I overlook, in the pouring rain,2

a streetlamp and run straight into it.

But unfortunately I don't have time to be annoyed,

cause my new jacket isn't waterproof.

Oooohh... Oh nooo...

Poor me

Today I have bad karma.

Honestly, man, that was

a really bad choice.3

Poor me

The day doesn't want me to succeed.

Can somebody pinch me?

Hug me?

Does anyone have mercy

on a loser,

who needs a lot of love right now?

Then I wanted to quickly withdraw some money

and entered the wrong PIN three times. ohoh

I entered the bank to get a new card,

and while I was was waiting in line,

my girlfriend's ex-boyfriend started talking to me,

him, who I really can't stand,

and said: "Hey dude, check it out:

I'm moving into your neighboring apartment soon!"

Ooooohh ... Oh nooo ...

Poor me

Today I have bad karma.

Honestly, man, that was

a really bad choice.

Poor me

The day doesn't want me to succeed.

Can somebody pinch me?

Hug me?

Does anyone have mercy

on a loser,

who needs a lot of love right now?

And because the day wasn't over,

then a police officer stopped me in the evening

and said: "Hey, now that is really red!"

I say to myself: "You idiot!",

which upsets the police officer,

He thought I was talking to him.4

And so I get yet another ticket.

So much works out for me in just one day!

Poor me

Today I have bad karma.

Honestly, man, that was

a really bad choice.

Poor me

The day doesn't want me to succeed.

Can somebody pinch me?

Hug me?

Does anyone have mercy

on a loser,

on a loser,

on a loser,

who needs a lot of love right now?

A cigarette would do about now

but I don't smoke anymore.

I just don't get it.5
