Dies ist meine 12305te Nacht
Die ersten paar tausend,
die kannst du vergessen,
ich hab es auch getan
Diese hier ist auch schon fast vorbei
Was bleibt ist Nikotin und gelbe Finger
Viele vorher die habe ich verpulvert
und kurz- und kleingehackt
in vielen verausgabt, verbraucht, gefluechtet
verfluechtigt, den Drachen gejagt
In einer Handvoll war ich nahe dran
meist am Ende, nah am Ende,
gegen Ende, gen morgen
voruebergehend selbst ertraenkt
Was bleibt ist Alkohol und dumpfe Traeume
Mache gingen endlos und ich aus und los
zu warten wo doch kein Bus faehrt
alle vergingen, bis jetzt, bis 12305
In machen warst du vorhanden
aber ich war nicht ganz da
In vielen hab' ich dich im Schlaf gesucht
In vielen hab' ich dich schlafend gesucht
Was bleibt?
Von hier bis Mars war naeher
als von mir bis zu die
Ich schien aus Antimaterie zu sein -
gefaehrlich!
Es war meine 12305te Nacht
In der du vor mir erschienst
Du liesst deine Augen leuchten
wohl nicht von ungefaehr
Du warst auf derselben Suche und
aus demselben Grund
zog's dich wohl auch zu mir
Insgeheim warst du mein Spiegelbild
Ich zog dich und zu mir
Ich war in dir - zu seh'n; und umgekehrt
Weck die Liebe nicht
bevor es ihr nicht selbst gefaellt
Bevor es ihr nicht selbst gefaellt
[English translate: 12305 (th Night)]
This is my 12305th night
the first few thousand
you might as well forget
just as I have also
this one here is almost finished too
what remains is nicotine and yellow fingers
many before I've frittered to powder
and diced and minced into bits
in many expended, exhausted, escaped
extinguished, chasing the dragon
in a handful I got very close
towards the end, close to the end,
right at the end, towards morning,
in its passing drowned
what remains is alcohol and numbed dreams
some were endless and I set out and off
to wait where nonetheless no bus goes
all passed by till now, till 12305
in some you were present
but I was not entirely there
in many I sought you in my sleep
in many I sought you sleeping
what remains?
from here to mars was closer
than from me to you
I seemed to be made of anti-matter -
fairly dangerous!
it was my 12305th night
in which you appeared
you made your eyes glow
I'm sure with some fair reason
you were seeking the same thing and
for the same reason
you too were then drawn to me
you were my mirror image secretly
I drew you up and towards me
inside you - I saw myself; and inversely
Do not stir up love
before it is itself willing
before it is itself willing)
