Vor vollen Schüsseln [English translation]

He was the Earth's poorest knight

He was worse off than bad

They spat at him and burned disgrace into his flesh

In front of full bowls I must die of hunger

By the hot oven, I freeze to death

Wherever I reach, nothing falls but shards

I'm in shit up to my teeth

I'm in shit up to my teeth

The last hair from my skull

Has made a blank silver moon

I barely have a fig leaf to wear

Everywhere I'm venerated1 and spat at

Everywhere I'm venerated and spat at

I'm up to my neck in bad luck

And I even sleep under an elder bush

Upon which not one star has ever shone

Everywhere I'm venerated and spat at

Everywhere I'm venerated and spat at

1. "Verehrt" seems completely out of place here.
