Größenwahn - Andreas Dorau traduction en anglais

Größenwahn

Größenwahn kam zum Treffen pünktlich 20 nach 8
Er hatte wie immer neue Ideen mitgebracht
Er redete wild und wir hörten brav zu
Bedenken und Zweifel warn für ihn ein Tabu
Falls wir was sagten war ihm das egal
Ihm zuzuhören wurde langsam zur Qual
Was er auch sagte es war ein Muss
Als wir alle nickten war endlich Schluss
Größenwahn
Was hast du uns angetan
Größenwahn
Du bist schuld daran
Größenwahn
Was hast du uns angetan
Größenwahn
Du bist schuld daran
Größenwahn war hungrig
Jetzt hieß es überzeugen
Er wollte sie alle mit seinem Ego beugen
Wir gingen daher in ein Ecklokal
Auf zwei Studenten fiel dann seine Wahl
Er fing brilliant an zu reden die Thesen gewagt
Alle warn am staunen, keiner hat was gesagt
Er redete laut und er redete schnell
Er war quasi intellektuell
Größenwahn
Was hast du uns angetan
Größenwahn
Du bist schuld daran
Größenwahn
Was hast du uns angetan
Größenwahn
Du bist schuld daran
Das Lokal war jetzt in seiner Hand
Alle lehnten mit offenen Mündern an der Wand
Doch er war durstig - das war sein Problem
Seine Kräfte die schwanden - man konnte es deutlich sehen
Die Studenten wollten nun diskutieren
Doch er konnte nur monologisieren
Seine Thesen zerplatzten - er war leicht zu durchschauen
Die Studenten haben ihm am Ende dann verhaun
Größenwahn
Was hast du uns angetan
Größenwahn
Du bist schuld daran
Größenwahn
Was hast du uns angetan
Größenwahn
Du bist schuld daran

Megalomania

Megalomania showed up for the meet precisely 20 after 8
As always, he had brought along new ideas
He spoke incoherently and we listened politely
Concerns and doubts were taboo to him
If we said anything at all, he ignored us
Listening to him was starting to become pure torture
Whatever he said was a must
When we all nodded in agreement, he finally shut up
Megalomania
What have you done to us
Megalomania
It's you that's to blame
Megalomania
What have you done to us
Megalomania
It's you that's to blame
Megalomania was hungry
Now it was time to persuade
He wanted to use his ego to crush all of them
So we went to a neighborhood bar
He then chose two students as his victims
He began by speaking brilliantly, his theses bold
Everyone was amazed, no one said a word
He spoke loudly, he spoke quickly
He was, in a sense, intellectual
Megalomania
What have you done to us
Megalomania
It's you that's to blame
Megalomania
What have you done to us
Megalomania
It's you that's to blame
The bar was now in his grip
Everyone was leaning against the wall, their mouths agape
But he was thirsty - that was his problem
His powers were waning - it was obvious
The students wanted to debate now
But all he could do was monologue
His theses fell apart - he was easy to see through
In the end, the students gave him a beating
Megalomania
What have you done to us
Megalomania
It's you that's to blame
Megalomania
What have you done to us
Megalomania
It's you that's to blame
