Seife [English translation]

Not every mistake goes away,

no matter how much wite-out you pile on,

a stain remains,

the Stain-devil 1is happy,

"How delightful"

I colored everything in too colorful and covered up

over the edges,

where the heck does the template begin?

Begins the template - I am tense2

[Refrain:]

Oh great, I didn't mean that,

that was not on purpose, really not,

it wasn't me, it wasn't me, it was not me

'Sponge over it3, I'll quickly wipe this off

Maybe with soap it will work

maybe with soap it will come off, over

sponge over it, I'll quickly wipe that off

Maybe with soap it will work

maybe with soap it will come off, over

Wite-out stain, stain, wite-out stain, stain

Wite-out stain, stain, wite-out stain, stain

I'm jumping off the lie-scaffolding into the fairy tale castle

and avoid every piece of truth

like a child the whole wheat bread for breakfast

Please not another piece (yuck, yuck)

I wade around the lard dish 4and spread it unfortunately into every corner. How is this supposed to go away?

Lard corner, Mr. Beuys, I regret it deeply

[Refrain]

Fears babble from my nostrils

I barf confetti, kiss one of Satan's daughters

The roof drifts off, it's hailing frogs

I try to shoot myself with a bow and arrow

after reaching into Amor's quiver

Over it

Over it

Over it

Sponge over it, I'll quickly wipe that off

Maybe with soap it will work

maybe with soap it will come off, over

Sponge over it, I'll quickly wipe that off

1. Brand name for a laundry stain remover2. 'Unterlage angespannt' is a fun wordplay that does not translate into English, so I translated the meaning of the sentece3. "Schwamm drüber" is a phrase that literally translates 'sponge over it' and means: forget it!4. "Fettnäpfchen" means 'lard dish' and 'stepping into the lard dish' is the same as 'putting your foot in your mouth'
