wenn

Auf das Notwendige kann ich verzichten.

wenn ich reich bin ziehe ich nur noch 100%
rein zerstoßenes geld durch die nase.

wenn ich reich bin baue ich kein haus,
ich kauf mir eure.

wenn ich reich bin gestatte ich nur noch apartesten
gleichnissen meiner langweile ausdruck zu verleihen.

exquisite buffetstrecken voll ausgestorbener
köstlichkeiten werde ich, wenn ich reich bin, veranstalten.

wenn ich reich bin werde ich auch schwul.

alle werden mich lieb und teuer halten
denn ich werde verstehen die leere auszukosten.

Translations:

Language: english

When

I will willingly do without the necessities

When I am rich, I’ll only snort 100%
pure money up my nose.

When I am rich I won’t build a house,
I’ll buy yours.

When I am rich I’ll only allow the most distinctive
analogies to give expression to my boredom.

I will organize exquisite buffets of extinct delicacies,
when I am rich.

When I am rich
I go gay as well.

Everyone will hold me near and dear,
because I will know how to savour the emptiness.

Language: hebrew

כש

אני יכול להסתדר בלי צרכים בסיסיים
כשאהיה עשיר אשאף לאף

רק אבקת זהב 100% טהור.
כשאהיה עשיר לא אבנה בית –
אקנה את שלך.

כשאהיה עשיר אתיר רק למוזרים
שבדימויים לבטא את שעמומי.

כשאהיה עשיר אעמיס ארוחות בופה,
שלחנות גדושי מעדנים נכחדים.

כשאהיה עשיר גם אני אעשה גי.

כולם יעריצו אותי
כי אדע איך להתענג על הריקות.

Language: norwegian

Når

Jeg er villig til å klare meg uten.

Når jeg blir rik, vil jeg bare snorte penger rett i nesa.

Når jeg blir rik, vil jeg ikke bygge et hus.
Jeg skal kjøpe ditt.

Når jeg blir rik, vil jeg bare tillate de mest særegne
analogier for å uttrykke min kjedsomhet.

Jeg vil organisere utsøkte buffeer med utdøde delikatesser,
når jeg er rik.

Når jeg er rik,
blir også jeg homoseksuell.

Alle vil holde meg nær og kjær,
fordi jeg kan utholde meningsløsheten.

Language: french

Quand

Je peux très bien me passer du nécessaire.

Quand je serai riche, je snifferai
uniquement de l'argent pur à 100%.

Quand je serai riche, je ne construirai pas de maison,
j'achèterai la tienne.

Quand je serai riche, seules les analogies les plus insolites
pourront exprimer mon ennui.

J'organiserai des buffets exquis de saveurs disparues,
quand je serai riche.

Quand je serai riche je deviendrai gay aussi.

Tout le monde m'étreindra et m'aimera,
parce que je saurai savourer le vide.

Language: greek

Σαν

Μπορώ να τα βγάλω πέρα χωρίς τα αναγκαία

Σαν γίνω πλούσιος θα σνιφάρω μόνο 100%
καθαρό χρήμα από τη μύτη μου.

Σαν γίνω πλούσιος κανένα σπίτι δεν θα χτίσω,
θα αγοράσω το δικό σου.

Σαν γίνω πλούσιος θα επιτρέπω μόνο τις πιο ιδιάζουσες
αναλογίες να εκφράζουνε την βαρεμάρα μου.

Θα οργανώνω εξαίσιους μπουφέδες με σπάνιες
λιχουδιές, σαν γίνω πλούσιος.

Σαν γίνω πλούσιος θα γίνω κι αδερφή

Όλοι θα με έχουνε από κοντά κι αγαπημένο
γιατί θα ξέρω πώς να γεύομαι το κενό.

Language: turkish

O zaman

Zorunluluklar olmadan yaşayacağım seve seve.

Sadece %100 saf para çekeceğim burnuma
zengin olduğumda.

Ev yapmayacağım zengin olduğumda,
seninkini satın alacağım.

Zengin olduğumda en seçkin benzetmelerle
anlatılabilecek ancak sıkıntım.

Benzersiz bir ziyafet vereceğim tükenmiş hazlardan
zengin olduğumda.

Zengin olduğumda
eşcinsel de olacağım.

Hoş tutacak beni etrafımdaki herkes
çünkü bileceğim boşluğu nasıl dolduracağımı.
