They know exactly who you are -
To us you seem to be one of those
They tell it like it is -
No one knows you that well
And indeed you’re by nature such and such -
Such and such! Somehow!
- understanding you, that makes them happy -
Someone like that never changes
But none of that defines you, you know
none of that does not fade with time
only you certainly won’t, you know
none of that is real
none of that
Such and such
And none of it remains anyway
Such and such
And none of it is there anyway
Such and such
Believe me, none of that
is you
You were always such and such -
Exactly so, only smaller
With age such a thing only gets worse -
Exactly so, only more alone ('aloner')*
How nice, when you’re loved for what you are –
Such and such, and so alone!
Such as you were, such as you are –
Is that you, must you be that?
But none of that defines you, you know
none of that does not fade with time
only you certainly not, you know
none of that is real
none of that
Such and such
And none of it remains anyway
Such and such
And none of it is there anyway
Such and such
Believe me, none of that
is you
You father’s happy because he knows
you are such and such
And mother is happy because she knows
you are such and such
Your pet is happy because it knows
you are such and such
Your teacher is happy because he knows
you are such and such
Your friends are happy, of course,
you are such and such
At work: all happy, of course
you are such and such
At home: all happy, of course
you are such and such
And you fall apart
because you know you’re such and such
you fall apart because you know you’re such and such
*In German, “alleiner,” which is not standard German.
