When my face is all changed from the cruelty of age
– Wann mäi Gesiicht vun Der Grausamkeet vum Alter geännert huet
I’ll still miss you
– Ech vermëssen dech ëmmer nach
In a dream, you forgave me and I almost did it myself
– An Engem Dram hutt dir mir verginn an ech hunn et bal selwer gemaach
Till I woke back up
– Bis ech erëm erwächt
I’m always procrastinating
– Ech zécken ëmmer
Evading the job of going through them boxes in the attic
– Vermeit D ‘Aufgab duerch D’ Këschten um Dachgeschoss ze goen
As long as they’re in the dark
– Soulaang se Am Däischteren sinn
There’s a flickering spark we’d repair
– Et gëtt e flakkende Funken dee mir géifen fixéieren
Just wanna talk to you
– Ech wëll just mat iech schwätzen
Wanna talk with my best friend
– Wëllt dir mat mengem beschte Frënd schwätzen
Wanna let go of everything that I carry
– Wëllt dir alles lassloossen wat ech undoen
Wanna shoulder some of yours instead
– Wëllt dir amplaz e puer vun iech schëlleren
I wanna hurt with you
– Ech wëll mat iech verletzen
Hurt with somebody who understands
– Verletzt mat engem dee versteet
Have the strength to truly like myself
– Hunn D ‘ Kraaft mech wierklech gär ze hunn
And have the love to take someone’s hand
– An Hunn D ‘ Léift eng Hand Ze huelen
I was down in the Low Lights, getting hounded by moths and dickheads
– Ech war ënnen am schlechten Liicht a gouf vu Motten an Dickheads verfollegt
Your uncle came in, I geared up for one on the nose
– Äre Monni koum eran, ech hunn mech op een Op Der Nues ugepasst
He was sombre and kind as I self-flagellated and grovelled
– Hie war düster a frëndlech wéi ech mech selwer flagelléieren a krabbelen
Told me to come back, but I cheated and it’s over
– Sot mir zréckzekommen awer ech hunn gefuddelt an et ass eriwwer
Shrinks somehow link it all back to my upbringing
– Psychiater verbannen iergendwéi alles mat menger Erzéiung
But I don’t want an excuse for my mess
– Awer ech wëll Keng Excuse fir Mäi Mess
I just wanna talk to you
– Ech wëll just mat iech schwätzen
Wanna talk with my best friend
– Wëllt dir mat mengem beschte Frënd schwätzen
Wanna let go of everything that I carry
– Wëllt dir alles lassloossen wat ech undoen
Wanna shoulder some of yours instead
– Wëllt dir amplaz e puer vun iech schëlleren
I wanna hurt with you
– Ech wëll mat iech verletzen
Hurt with somebody who understands
– Verletzt mat engem dee versteet
Have the strength to truly like myself
– Hunn D ‘ Kraaft mech wierklech gär ze hunn
And have the love to take someone’s hand
– An Hunn D ‘ Léift eng Hand Ze huelen
I wanna talk to you
– Ech wëll mat iech schwätzen
I wanna talk to you
– Ech wëll mat iech schwätzen
Oh, I just wanna talk to you
– Oh, ech wëll just mat iech schwätzen
Only wanna talk to you
– Ech wëll just mat iech schwätzen
Only wanna talk to you
– Ech wëll just mat iech schwätzen
Only wanna talk to you, talk to you
– Ech wëll just mat iech schwätzen, mat iech schwätzen
Seven years wrapped in youth’s great love
– Siwe Joer agewéckelt an der Grousser Léift Vun Der Jugend
Picked me up and sucked the cancer from my bones
– Huet mech opgeholl an de Kriibs vu Menge Schanken gesuckelt
Your old man loved me like a son he never had
– Ären ale Mann huet mech gär wéi e Jong deen hien ni hat
And I ate him outta house and home
– An ech hunn hien ausser Heem an Haus giess
I have learnt and I will never stop learning
– Ech hu geléiert an ech wäert ni ophalen ze léieren
My failures are my prized possessions
– Meng Feeler si mäi wäertvolle Besëtz
I don’t deserve to talk to you
– Ech verdéngen net mat iech ze schwätzen
But I hope that I can root for you
– Awer ech hoffen Datt ech Fir iech Root Kann
Give ’em hell, darling
– Gëff hinnen D ‘ Häll, Schatz
