Damen und Herren! (Ladies and Gentlemen!)

I'm going to try to translate again.

Ich reiß an den Ohren

Ich zieh an der Haut
zieh
bis sie reißt
damit ich NICHTS mehr spür

Mein Herz schreibt Tragödien
Die Welt spielt Theater

ich will nicht für immer und ewig hier drinnen bleiben.

Es ist hell-
Ich werde stürzen und alle werden es sehen

Time
The colors of Past
A view back of nothing
A blurred stare
of you
(yours words and stories)
of me
That ticking of clock
overheard
Certain victory my smallest hope

I do not want hear it, but I want know it

Time Passes
I close the eyes
firmly
till it hurts
thus I do not see
I tear at the ears
tear
till it bleeds
thus I do not hear
I pull at the skin
pull
till it tears
thus I feel no more

Mine heart writes tragedies
The world plays theater

I will not be forever, and eternally remain here inside.

It is bright-
I will fall and all will see it


That came a little easier than the last one, but my head still hurts. Katchoo your poetry is very melancholy, however I like it very much. Katchoo and Tsuzuki please tell me anything that I mistranslated.

I like your translations more than the original -
it sounds better in english!

Thank you ^^

I want happiness
I seek happiness

to cause your happiness
to be your happiness

so take me
someplace far away
to a true elsewhere
please take me there

magic that lasts
never-ending kiss
revery without break
unperishable bliss

take me
I want happiness

birds sings
song of unknown tongue
though winged, they
still fail to reach the sky

a place not to be treaded alone

so take me
to a true elsewhere

wet feathers
locked fingers
melting flesh,
fusing minds

take me
I want happiness

Not your past,
but your present is what i seek,

carefully winding back its fragile thread

please take me there

I want happiness

VORÜBER

Erinnerst du dich an die alte Zeit

erinnerst du dich an das alte Leid

weisst du noch wies früher einmal war

weisst du noch was einmal mit uns geschah



Erinnerst du dich an meine grossen Augen

erinnerst dich wie sie dich anschauten

tausend Emotionen hier von früher

doch wahres Lachen längst vorüber



Der schnelle Weg zum falschen Ziel

es war die Pille die es uns befiel

ich weiss nicht ob es dir gefiel

der falsche Weg ins falsche Ziel

die Pille die mir so gefiel



Die Gedanken ziehn vorüber

sind wir heute auch nicht klüger

haben nichts daraus gelernt

vom Wahnsinn nicht mehr weit entfernt



Die Gedanken ziehn vorbei

Man hört noch einen letzten Schrei

Und garnichts ist mehr so früher


This one is older - i was 14 or 15 when i write it. I think it´s not so good ^^

Katchoo, asked me to translate this for her. Don't expect this to be very good. I can translate into English better because I know how it should sound. With German, I am very uncertain if what I write makes any sense.

The original in English is posted here: Love Poems


Reihenfolge


So es war. Dass Sie in jenen Sälen spazieren gingen
in diesem Ort des Verstandes, und Lektionen erzählten.
Ich denke von vorbei. es war so vor langer Zeit.
Als ich jung war, meine Leidenschaften waren kühn.

Eine Zufallsbegegnung, unter Herbstsonne
Die Sie lächelten mir zu, und Ich an Ihnen
Folglich, begann unsere lange Reise.
Ich hielt Ihre Hand, wie Liebe wahr wuchs.

Wir lachten, wir tanzten, wir gingen spazieren zusammen
dann kam der Tag, mein Freund drehte Ehefrau
Jahreszeiten gingen, gute Nachrichten kamen hervor
Die Sie hielten innerhalb die Freude des Lebens

Eine Zufallsbegegnung, unter Wintermond
Sie hielt seine Hand, er hielt ihre
Das Kind einmal geboren, jetzt ein Mann
Wir lächelten zu ihnen, wie neue Liebe begann

So es ist, Wir gehen dieses Leben spazieren,
in dieser Welt des Wunders, und Freude erfüllt.
Ich denke an Gegenwart, wie kurz die Zeit
Unsere Liebe für immer, bis Sterne wachsen noch.

Edit (2008-03-16): I have been told this made little sense.

OK, time for another of Katchoo's poems in English. Katchoo and Tsuzuki, I still depend on the two of you, to tell if I do anything wrong.

Bis heute weiß ich nicht was du in deinem Innern trägst
Mein Starren auf dein Herz
Ist ein blindes Starren, ich sehe verschwommen
She wie es daliegt zerbrochen im Dunkeln
Heute ist der Ort ein anderer ein weit entfernter
Doch nicht so weit weg wie die Vergangenheit und ihre Bilder
Es ist nicht die gleiche Nacht - nur der Himmel ist geblieben
Es scheint der gleiche Mond nur die Menschen sind verschieden
Ein anderes Du und ein anderes Ich
Ein Herz das schlägt aber weiter zerbricht
Eine Liebe die der Zeit standhält
Knochen aus der Glas der zerfällt beim Versuch dich zu halten
dein gebrochenes Herz deine verdunkelte Welt
Du musst mich halten ich schaff es nicht mehr.

I can remember
In the scent, of the night air, in September
It smelled of you
My lips were covered by a light gloss
You did not looked there. You had seen something,
That you wanted to hide from me.
To this day, I do not know what you carry in inside.
My gaze is upon you heart.
I stare blindly, my vision is blurred.
There, I like it to lie, broken in the darkness
Today the place is another, and one far away
But, not as far away as the past and its vision
It is not the same night - only the sky remains the same
The Moon appears to be the same, only the people have changed
Another you and another I
A heart pounds, but further breaks
Love of the time withstands
Remains of that vessel crumble, when you attempt to hold them.
Your broken heart - Your darkened world
You must hold me, for I create no more.

Past
Do you remember of the old times
Do you remember of the old sorrow
You still know what once was dismissed in former times
You still know what once happened with us

Do you remember of my large eyes
Do you remember how they looked at you
A thousand emotions here from then,
but laughter true extends the past

The fast way to a false goal.
It was the pill, that befell us.
I know not, if it was liked
the false way to the false goal
the pill that I so liked.

The thoughts draw past
today are we not wiser?
have we not learned?
From insanity, have we not more far removed?

The thoughts draw past
One hears still a last cry
and really nothing is more so false.
As always, Katchoo your poetry is a little mournful, but I really like it.

Every time I cut myself, I forget the pain,
Only you are in my mind and I know it's in vain.
But I feel alive only when I bleed,
Nothing else can help, no friends, no music, no weed.

I can't find my place, my purpose in this world,
Maybe I could if I flied freely like a bird.
I'm on the ground, hitting it, dust in my face
I'm in Hell, my soul is scared, devil is about to taste,
I don't know, should I fight, or I'm a waste.

I crave for rain, to cleanse my soul and wet my eyes.
Nothing can do the same, what you did many times.
I fear I lose the light, that shines so distant
I want to know the light shining until the end.
If the light goes out my soul will go after it.
Letting my body alone, unconcious, cold and mentally hit.

I lived in darkness, but in the end you came
You are the light, nothing is the same.
The Light blinded me. I got used to darkness
and now I have to face a new world, a new mass.
I can't find my place, my purpose in this world,
Only thing I want is You, and our love to be heard.

I give my life for you, I will study hard and work.
I will raise children, and try not to be a jerk.
I dedicate my life for you, no matter what's the purpose,
I will be with you forever, even if it gets worse.
I give everything, for that light, I give my whole life
Only one thing that I want for exchange, and it's your love.
