Meiner lieben Frau gewidmet, auch wenn es in diesem Lied eher um mich geht.
lyrics
English Translation:
it doesn't help to talk about it
it doesn't help to be sorry
all those sorrows do not help
it doesn't help to not cheer up
it doesn't help to achieve something
it doesn't help, even if one's right
it doesn't help to be like others
and if it helps, it helps poorly
ref.
and when the press writes and writes
how everything vanishes/works and everything remains
a generalisation doesn't help
only my gentle sweetheart helps
and whatever television tells
how one feels, so one votes/chooses
a generalisation doesn't help
only my gentle sweetheart helps
it doesn't help to think of oneself
it doesn't help to screw with oneself
it doesn't help to give oneself away
it turns out different than one believes
it doesn't help to understand it
there is no difference
it doesn't help, because it doesn't work like that
even this song doesn't help
ref.
