Es ist so schade English translation
von Die Lassie Singers

It's such a shame, that you're the way that you are
that unfortunately you aren't someone else,
that you're unfortunately just so completely yourself.

If only you were older or wider
a little taller, or maybe a little broader,
More chivalric and charming,
or simply more interesting!

It's such a shame, that you're the way that you are
that unfortunately you aren't someone else,
that you're unfortunately just so completely yourself.


If only you were warmer or deeper,
more lively or lavish,
a little funnier, a little brighter,
a little more sexual.

Then it could be really good,
that something could happen between us.
But if you stay the way you are, nothing will come of it.
As long as you are the way you are, it's not going to work between us.

It's such a shame, that you're the way that you are
that unfortunately you aren't someone else,
that you're unfortunately just so completely yourself.
