A Coffee With Berta

When I am despondent and my heart is heavy
i go to Betta's and sit with her
i drink a black coffee
show her my hand
she says to me that i am nice
put a 'ten-spot' to the side
 
And then suddenly she is quiet and sees
all that will happen and all that has happened
see who i am thinking of
and what i want
says that a new cycle
will start when the year ends
 
Always when i am getting ready to leave
she tries to tell me that it'll be even better
after a few small sorrows
suddenly you will feel wonderful
you'll have a great happiness
the word of Berta is a promise
 
i go to see Berta once a year
and in the meantime nothing has changed
but i always return
show her my hand
and hope that one day
i will say a final goodbye and will not fear
 
And so i ask her about love
she says 'yes' but disappointment before...
so not worthwhile for you to worry
maybe see a doctor
listen you are a handsome man
perhaps drink another cup of coffee with me....
 
Always when i am getting ready to leave...

A coffe with a cigarette

I wake up in the morning drink a cup of coffee with a cigarette
imagine your face in the day and in the night too
I wake up in the morning drinks a cup of coffee with a cigarette
always intrested and asks if you're hot or you're cold
 
because I don't really understand the movies that you eat*
don't really understand if you're naive or such a crook
don't understand which language you speak in
don't find the way to pour the heart on the notebook
and all of the things that I wanted to say I didn't say
all of the secrets I didn't tell
the friends say ' you'd rather ignore my bro
listen to Berry**, a broken heart is an intact heart my bro'
what an intact heart and what shoes***
I'm a half anonimus singer, marginal music
and finally when I found somone who wull accept me with my scratches**** and maybe will cure my scars
I, simply choose to run away to leave
to a place that will do a liitle bit better to me
I listened to you so much that I didn't listen to myself
I loved you so much that I forgot who I am
 
I wake up in the morning drink a cup of coffee with a cigarette
imagine your face in the day and in the night too
I wake up in the morning drinks a cup of coffee with a cigarette
always intrested and asks if you're hot or you're cold
 
so here's another little story
people say that a love like that reminds them an old middle eastern song I try to think future and the past doesn't pass
so light up a small (cigarette) my friend because my frustration is growing, sh* I fell again into the thoughts night
we''l light up a cigarette, maybe we''ll ignite some hopes
my heart burned when I remmember your face
how you moved forward I was your life
I spend the last months with thoughts about you
If it's good for you or bad for you' anf how are you without me
how they treat you, how you treat them back
whare do you run away now in moments of trouble
tell me did you keep over a memoru from me a good advice or something or an agenda to life about believing in who we are
because noone will understand people like us that's the difference
I hate you beacause you're just like me

Instead of You

For a while I've been listening only
about how much you've been lied to
and how many times you could have forgiven him
for leaving you alone.
You talk about how far away the old game
is for you.
Could you stop for a moment and realise
that you have me?
 
[Chorus:]
If today I could love you,
do not expect me to be like someone else.
Or are you still dreaming of him,
instead of me?
I could love you always
but I'm different from the other guy.
Or are you still dreaming of him,
instead of me?
 
For a while I've only been thinking
about how much you were lied to
and how much I'd have to endure
the fact that you were left alone.
You talk about how far away the old love
is for you.
Could you stop for a moment and realise
that you have me?
 
[Chorus:]
If today I could love you,
do not expect me to be like someone else.
Or are you still dreaming of him,
instead of me?
I could love you always
but I'm different from the other guy.
Or are you still dreaming of him,
instead of me?

Coffee and a Cigarette

In the armchair
in front of the TV
There, I have
my life
My flowers
They are dying
I am tired
Tired and frail
 
But I can be strong
I can have everything
I can spread colour
I can rule
But I think I will go for
another coffee
and a cigarette
 
Saw a program
about a bird
that had gotten lost
before the winter
That brought the memory
of your back
That day
when I got lost myself
 
But I can be strong
I can have everything
I can spread colour
I can rule
But I think I will go for
another coffee
and a cigarette
 
But I can be strong
I can have everything
I can spread colour
I can rule
But I think I will go for
another coffee
and a cigarette
 
But I think I will go for
another coffee
and a cigarette

Coffee Warm 3

1
you're with me again
nobody but you
manages to juggle with words that good 2
so that I'm spinning, myself, with every sentence
you're right, everything has already been said, actually
and you're asking if I'll stay until tomorrow
I'm tired already
it would be nice if you stayed upstairs
the old pattern is easy to knit
but eats us alive
every butterfly from back then
only moths inside the stomach
 
(chorus)
and the gut feeling greets you once again
and it always stings from the side
when your head's already on the ground
and then everything's out there again
only honest with myself, the idiot I am
when it's not worth it at all anymore
 
why are you looking at me like that?
as if there was anything here
that could change our world
I can't do it
I'm asking myself what you are waiting for
you're searching for your fault
in the coffee not being warm anymore
we tried it
ripped open the filter
searched through the grind
waited for three years
cursed Febuary 3
brewed up everything once more
but you were nowhere
 
(chorus)
and the gut feeling greets you once again
and it always stings from the side
when your head's already on the ground
and then everything's out there again
only honest with myself, the idiot I am
when it's not worth it at all anymore
 
I just want you to know, that I know, what I want 4
 
  • 1. the german title which is 'Kaffee Warm 3' doesn't make sense all on it's own, so the translation seems weird. it's a shortened version of one sentence from the chorus of 'Kaffee Warm (1)' which is 'I keep the coffee warm for you'
  • 2. the literal translation would be 'nobody but you manages to juggle with words better' which doesn't make any sense because the german sentence is gramatically incorrect.
  • 3. in their song 'Februar' (='Febuary') they talk about how they want Febuary gone. The chorus states: 'Reiß die Tage aus, dann im nächsten Jahr 28 weniger, endlich nie mehr Februar' which translates to 'Rip out the days [pages of a calender], and next year there's 28 less [days], finally, there's no Febuary ever again'
  • 4. this is a reference to a song they did a few years ago called 'Kaffee Warm' in which a similar sentence stated 'I don't want you to know that I don't know what I want', so this line shows personal growth.

Instant Coffee

[Verse 1]
We're stil developing
We're not fully baked
I feel that way
Because it's something you've said
Your definitions
Are a dictionary in itself
You've got principles until you fall in love
And then you let them go again
 
[Chorus]
Luke water and luke problems
Even out sky is mixed with grey
The instant coffee in a cup from Ikea
The taste is okay, but we are more
 
[Verse 2]
We become the heroes of the novel
That we read ahead of our time
It's the others that don't understand it all
It was not written down
You are my everyday lifeline
You are emotions without paper
And when the others go home to sleep,
I know that we will stay
 
[Chorus]
Luke water and luke problems
Even our sky is mixed with grey
Old bread and toasted ideas
The taste is okay, but we are more
 
[Instrumental break]
 
[Chorus]
Luke water and luke problems
Even our sky is mixed with grey
The Instant coffee in a cup from Ikea
The taste is okay, but we are more
 
[Outro]
We are more

Coffee Is Hot

In San José, coffee is hot
It's the kind I haven't had for a long time
The rum in Johnny's cupboard is good
In San José, coffee is hot
And my longing is real
Because I want to find the way back
 
Behind eucalyptus trees
You can find my first dream, which has long been over
And now I'm back again, falling in love again
I'm even telling you: 'Boy, here we are
Spending so much more time doing things
That we've never experienced before'1
 
In San José, coffee is hot
And Johnny's glance is gracious
His picture is hanging above my bed
The coffee in San José is hot
And it stimulates my blood
Whatever I want thereafter is so good
 
Behind eucalyptus trees
Yes, you can find a shade of memory there
And you're back again I'm so young
I'm even telling you: 'Boy, here we are
Spending so much more time doing things
That we've never experienced before'
 
In San José, coffee is hot
In San José, coffee is hot
 
Behind eucalyptus trees
You can find my first dream, which has long been over
And now I'm back again, falling in love again
I'm even telling you: 'Boy, here we are
Spending so much more time doing things
That we've never experienced before'
 
In San José, coffee is hot
In San José, coffee is hot
In San José, coffee is hot
In San José, coffee is hot
 
  • 1. The German sentence is a little strange and it's not 100% clear what it's supposed to mean.
