Mani Matter – Alls wo mir id finger chunt (English translation)

Translation by Gabs, see @gabsrants on Twitter
Links to the original Text and Video/Soundfile

On the day that I was born, or so they later said
my mother had just broken her favorite porcelain plate
and since then it has been my lot, until my life is spent
everything that I will touch will crumble in the end

As hard as I may try it doesn't matter anyhow
whatever was whole yesterday it is in shambles now
the heaps of rubble that I leave are all I can present
everything that I will touch will crumble in the end

I once knew a girl it is a tale both sad and true
the girl was made of porcelain with hair of darkest hue
but suddenly she told me that we were no longer friends
everything that I will touch will crumble in the end

And when I then embraced her for our very last goodbye
I hugged her out of love so fiercely that she had to die
I did not mean to do it, please believe me, I repent!
everything that I will touch will crumble in the end

They carted me to court and yesterday they strung me up
And just as I was hanging there, who ever would have thought
The hangman's rope it broke just at the very last moment
everything that I will touch will crumble in the end

I am a Vagrant ever since and I will never work
I hope that you kind people can see that I'm not a jerk
So reach into your purses, give whatever you can spend
everything that I will touch will crumble in the end
