Judit Neddermann Lyrics English Translation by Love of Lesbian & Judit Neddermann
(feat. Judit Neddermann)
I wish the whole world
Would blow up and goodbye
I wish I could watch it from home
I wish I could see it
From my balcony
I wish, and I say it
With my soul in my voice
I had ways
To forget you on the fly
And if you launched
A missile and goodbye
How loud it rings to shout
An “I wish”
It leaves you wanting more
It’s a potion, and a prayer
It’s a spell
Before the word “forget”
I wish I could see
That there’s no one there
Not a single witness
Of what I used to be
And that my bad memory
Finally comes in handy
That one single slip-up
Creates a thousand more
I wish the world
Would forget you too
I wish. Yeah, I do.
I wish your head
Would explode and goodbye
I wish I could
Watch it from home
To enjoy it
From my balcony
Let from your nothing
Not even a nothing come out
And let nothing be created
No air, no rain
No roof, no ground
No guilt
Memory
Or truth
I wish I could see that there’s no one there
Not a single witness of what I used to be
And that my bad memory
Finally comes in handy
That one single slip-up
Creates a thousand more
I wish the world
Would forget you too
I wish that’s true
If the rain burns
If it burns
If the rain burns or freezes
The rain
I won’t be there
Why do we sometimes go toward
Someone who will lose us?
And why do we tell ourselves stories
And not realize
That if we don’t enjoy
What’s worth it
In the end
We’re just adding up the loss?
Deep inside. Inland
Hidden in some wind
An “I wish” whistles in my memory
That sounds like a “never”
Dreams are always
Seeds of a god
I wish I dreamed, hard
That you and I, no longer
I can fail a million times
And even get it right
But if I never leave
The same old path
The same old thing
Is what I’ll find
I wish I understood
That you’re not there
Not a single witness
Of what I used to be
Let the witch burn
In the fire at the end
And let something be learned
Having made it this far
I wish the world
Would give you a standing ovation
I wish
That’s true
