Schach matt English translation
von Roland Kaiser

At the beginning, there was just a brief glance at me
A smile on her face
Then her fingers ran through her long, black hair
She did nothing more

But for me, that was more than enough
I was born as a man
She attacked with the weapons of a woman
And I was lost

Checkmate by the lady in the game
Checkmate because I liked her so much
Checkmate because she played very cleverly
Checkmate grabbed me move by move

She wins, I thought to myself
She senses that I'm losing
The woman drives me crazy

She was so tender, almost like a little child
And yet as wild as her land
She was like a cool drop of dew on the grass
And yet she set me on fire


Hot and cold, she caught me
Since the first moment
Too much has happened until today
I can't go back

Checkmate by the lady in the game
Checkmate because I liked her so much
Checkmate because she played very cleverly
Checkmate grabbed me move by move

She wins, I thought to myself
She senses that I'm losing
The woman drives me crazy

La la la la la la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la, la la la la la la

Checkmate by the lady in the game
Checkmate because I liked her so much
Checkmate because she played very cleverly
Checkmate grabbed me move by move

She wins, I thought to myself
She senses that I'm losing
The woman drives me crazy
