Sag's mir English translation
von Tiemo Hauer

I want to see what you see - but I don't see it.
Want to understand what you're feeling - but don't understand.
I'd love to be what you're looking for - but I'm not.
I can already see you cursing - so don't grin!

I want to play what you like - but you don't like anything.
That you ask about my life - but you don't ask.
In principle, what I want is not impossible.
I just want people to love me - but I can't.


I'm sitting in a bar with friends
Then sometimes I think a dream is true.
But I go home radiant and happy,
I still fall asleep alone

I'm standing up there at the microphone
Could I say you already love me.
But I go home radiant and happy,
I still fall asleep alone.
