Eichhörnchentag English translation
von Ina Müller

Has anyone seen my keys?
Where did I leave the car yesterday?
My coffee cup was right here on the shelf
Where was that receipt again?
I think I’ve misplaced my glasses
Already rummaging through the trash for the 20th time
And I’m still thinking, “Remember this!”
Before I promptly forget it again
And I’m still thinking, “Uh… hm”

Today is squirrel day again
I’m pacing through the apartment like crazy, back and forth
Today is squirrel day again
And I forgot—

Today is squirrel day again
The little grey cells just won’t get in gear
Today is squirrel day again
And I forgot where I buried everything
(Where I buried everything)


No charging cable here, even though I have four (four)
My lipstick was right here just a moment ago (just a moment ago)
It must have rolled under the sofa (rolled under the sofa)
I can sing every 80s song by heart
Always finish quotes flawlessly
But what was it I wanted here in the kitchen?

And I’m still thinking, “If anywhere, then there”
The drawer where everything always ends up
And I’m still thinking, “Uh… hm”

Today is squirrel day again
I’m pacing through the apartment like crazy, back and forth
Today is squirrel day again
And I forgot—

Today is squirrel day again
The little grey cells just won’t get in gear
Today is squirrel day again
And I forgot—

I’ve somehow got nothing on my radar today
And I’m wondering if it was always like this before
Or if it’s just some weird phase right now
And will it go away, someday go away again?

Today is squirrel day again
I’m pacing through the apartment like crazy, back and forth
Today is squirrel day again
And I forgot—


Today is squirrel day again
The little grey cells just won’t get in gear
Today is squirrel day again
And I forgot where I buried everything
