Darling, centuries have passed since we last saw each other.
That soothing voice, to play with your fingers,
What a strange play this is!
To lose you one day and carry your name the next day,
You and me, together on stage all day
They gawk and stalk, chase and bait, to keep us apart,
They laugh at us, cast their shadows on us,
We keep on dancing and keep on playing,
Wearing these clown masks, we keep entertaining,
We are the story of your latest news report,
So much smear on my face, no place to hide
Darling, how you despise these sentimental words,
You are, after all, mein gebildete Mann
