Tante Emma English translation
von Udo Jürgens

In the shopping center and discount

I'm always in a bad mood

In the endlessly large supermarket

I'm about to have a heart attack.
The shelves are full there

I don't know
what to take

Buying becomes a torture -

I only go to Aunt Emma!

In the corner shop
On the corner opposite

When the bell rings at the door
Is that almost nostalgia!
I'm alone in the supermarket

There's no pig to help me with the search

I push the cart back and forth
And look at others
What is he buying?
Then I stand in line to pay


N/a
It's impossible to imagine.
I know
Where I am still a customer:
I'm going to Aunt Emma's.
In the corner shop
On the corner opposite

When the bell rings at the door
Is that almost a melody!

It's private at Aunt Emma's

It's not a vending machine

she says
If I can't pay:
What does it matter
Then I write.
When Aunt Emma is gone
And a discount store friát

I sit down on the sidewalk
And go on a hunger strike.

In the corner shop
On the corner opposite

When the bell rings at the door
Is that almost poetry!
