English Lyrics:
Did you do something that normally no one does?
Are you wearing high heels or even a hat?
Or did you wear too skimpy of a dress,
Without asking your neighbors for permission first?
Of course, now you'll be treated with contempt
You're a disgrace to the whole neighborhood
You don't even know their names
And they're already running their mouths about you
Let them talk, and don't listen to them
Most people just don't have anything better to do
Let them talk, day and night
Let them talk - they always have, anyway
You've certainly robbed a bank
How else could you afford your rent?
And you've been banned from the United States
Because you're Osama bin Laden's lover
Do you shave your women's-beard daily
Or do you have a few corpses buried in your garden?
The neighbors surmised as much
So don't be surprised when the detectives drop by
Let them talk and just don't listen
Most people don't mean anything by it
It's their monotonous life that bothers them
And the day becomes much more interesting when you tell stories
And they probably don't feel ashamed
They lack discretion
And repeatedly prove: [that] they are petty,
inescapable, xenophobic
Did you hear, and say, did you already know?
That is to say, you earn your money through prostitution
You work the corner by the bus station
The colleague of a brother-in-law saw you the other day
Let them talk, just laugh it off
Most people get their information from Bild*
Which consists of, who knew,
Fear, hate, tits, and the weather report
Let them talk, because this is how it is:
As long as they talk, that's the worst they do
And you can afford a little hypocrisy
Stay polite and say nothing - that annoys them the most.
