Warum bin ich so fröhlich? [English translation]

Why am I so cheerful, so cheerful, so cheerful?

So downright cheerful? So cheerful I have never been before.

I have already been often cheerful, very cheerful, very cheerful.

But so amazingly cheerful I have never been till today.

I am also sometimes sad, so profoundly sad,

then I'm horribly sad, then everything's hurting me.

I'm sometimes slightly neurotical, psychotic, chaotic,

instable and neo-gothic, but today I'm ok.

That's why I'm so cheerful, so cheerful, so cheerful,

almost exaggerated cheerful. So cheerful I have never been before.

Today I'm not faded, not a little bit faded,

I also am not peevish, you can see that.

Today I am very calm, surprisingly calm,

I can't believe it, I can't understand it.

Also I'm not cheerful anymore, so cheerful, so cheerful.

Also I'm not cheerful anymore, then I'm dead...

...normal!!!
