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)
