Open my legs, lie down with death
– Maacht meng Been op, leet iech mam Doud
We kiss, we sigh, we sweat
– Mir kussen, mir suckelen, mir schwëtzen
His blackberry mouth stains my nightgown
– Säi Blackberry Mond fleckt mäi Nuetskleed
I pull him close
– Ech zéien hien op mech
Wrap my legs around and it tastes like life
– Wéckelt meng Been ronderëm an et schmaacht No Liewen
I twist, I bite
– Ech dréinen, ech bäissen
The foxes chatter in the night
– D ‘ Fuuss schloen An Der Nuecht
Show me the way
– Weist mir de Wee
This feeling leads
– Dëst Gefill féiert
The ache, the kick, the need
– De Schmerz, De Kick, De Besoin
Show me the way
– Weist mir de Wee
This feeling leads
– Dëst Gefill féiert
The ache, the kick, the need
– De Schmerz, De Kick, De Besoin
A shimmering landscape, I widen my eyes
– Eng glänzend Landschaft, ech erweideren meng Aen
Can I keep all this beauty forever inside?
– Kann ech all Dës Schéinheet fir ëmmer a mir halen?
I tear off my nightgown and run naked through the town
– Ech räissen mäi Nuetskleed of a lafen plakeg duerch D Stad
Run through rain, run through fog
– Run duerch Reen, lafen Duerch Niwwel
Taking consolation in cats and dogs and things that cannot speak
– Komfort Bei Kazen An Hënn a Saachen déi net kënne schwätzen
Ran to the ancestral plane, but they all showed up drunk and insane
– Lafen op De Vorfahrenfliger, awer si sinn all gedronk a verréckt opgedaucht
When I asked what I could offer them
– Wéi ech gefrot hunn wat ech iech kéint ubidden
They said, “Gin and tonic or lithium”
– Et gëtt gesot: “Gin Tonic oder Lithium”.
I asked, “Which way should I go?”
– Ech hu gefrot: “Wéi Ee Wee soll ech Goen?”
Through cigarette smoke, they said
– Duerch Zigarettendamp soten se
“Child, how would we know?”
– “Kand, wéi solle mer dat wëssen?”
Show me the way
– Weist mir de Wee
This feeling leads
– Dëst Gefill féiert
The ache, the kick, the need
– De Schmerz, De Kick, De Besoin
Show me the way
– Weist mir de Wee
This feeling leads
– Dëst Gefill féiert
The ache, the kick, the need
– De Schmerz, De Kick, De Besoin
Desire beyond reason
– Firwat ee Steet, A Wéi Eng visioun ee Fir lëtzebuerg hätt.
Ruinous thing
– Ruinous Saach
A stranger came to my door
– E Frieme koum bei meng Dier
And I welcomed him in
– An ech begréisst him an
My feet are bleeding
– Meng Féiss bléien
But I cannot stop, I have many, many miles
– Awer ech kann net ophalen, ech hu vill, vill Meilen
Yet to cross
– Nach ze kräizen
I came to a clearing
– Ech koum Op Eng Clearing
Full of wailing and keening
– O gëttlech vorsehung!
A well of tears that never runs dry
– Eng Brunn Vun Tréinen déi ni dréchen
Women said, “We’ve been waiting
– Fraen soten: “Mir hunn gewaart
Waiting to meet you, it’s only a matter of time”
– Ech waarden op dech ze treffen, et ass just Eng Fro vun der Zäit “
Thrust my fists in the ground
– Stiech meng Fäischt an De Buedem
And the earth made a moaning sound, oh, oh
– An D ‘ Äerd huet e gekrasch Geräisch gemaach, oh, oh
I could feel something shudder
– Ech konnt eppes zidderen
Deeper, deeper down
– Déif, déif erof
And I met every monster from the bar to Broadway
– An ech begéint All Monster Vun Bar Zu Broadway
And all their violent offers, I just turn them away
– Et gëtt ebe versicht op allen niveaue suen ze spueren.
And your threats and your promises, they don’t scare me
– An är Geforen an är Verspriechen Erschrecken mech net
After all, there’s nobody more monstrous than me (Woo)
– Schliisslech gëtt et keen dee méi monstréis ass wéi ech (Woo)
Than me (Woo)
– Wéi ech (Woo)
