Am Schärme English translation
von Patent Ochsner

Out of the rain


A stiff breeze is blowing from the sea
It smells spicy and of fish
We're licking ancient wounds
And the world stands impertinent and still
When she kisses me seasick
I never even told her
But I've always known
She's the best I've ever seen
We were feverish in the fridge
Of a foreign country
We saw the borders and didn't react
We didn't have eyes, didn't have ears
No nose and no mouth
I never told her then
But I knew even then
She's the best I've ever seen
Now she's standing casually by the wall
That often used to separate us
Giving away and spilling milk and blood
(Giving away and spilling)
Even the deluge, I don't care,
And we're lying arm in arm
I never even told her
But I've always known
She's the best I've ever seen
For the next round on the carousel
On the stallion or on the swan
We're not paying even a cent and we're not giving any collateral
Things just go as they do
And they just go well
I never even told her
But I've always known
She's the best I've ever seen

...I've ever seen
...I've ever seen
