Weißes Papier [English translation]

I'll take your cat and shake it out

until everything falls out

That it has ever eaten from my hand

And later I'll even beat the carpet

And if I find one of my hairs in it

I'll simply pocket it

Nothing shall give you bad memories

Reveal what I was to you

Don't say that that would be completely unnecessary

Because it only becomes painful afterwards

When what once was bubbles up again

Better to be as pure

And as ignorant as a blank piece of paper

In the future I will be a different person

Like the one you saw in me

The trousers that you crocheted for me

I'll throw in the container for the Salvation Army

I'll eat on the floor boards with my hands

And watch every cartoon on TV

Everything that you don't like, I'll praise

I will be simply as pure

And as ignorant as a blank piece of paper

I won't even be able to see the sea again

Where the wind misses your hair

Where every wave is a sigh

And every grain of sand is a glimpse of you

At best I would be an astronaut

And would fly through the stars were nothing is familiar

Or messed up by your touch

I will never again be as pure

And as ignorant as a blank piece of paper
