Translation of the song lyrics Das letzte Streichholz - Oomph!

Das letzte Streichholz (original)

Sie küsste sanft ihr liebstes Spielzeug
Bevor sie es zerbrach
Dann schlich sie sich voll dunkler Sehnsucht
Ins kalte Schlafgemach
Sie holte leis das letzte Streichholz
Aus Vaters Schrank hervor
«Warum hast du mir nie geholfen?»
Schrie sie in Mutters Ohr
«Ich hoffe, das wir uns nie Wiedersehen!»
«Damit ihr wisst, wie es ist
In der Hölle zu sein
Damit ihr wisst, wie es ist
Nach Erlösung zu Schrein
Nur deshalb komm ich zurück
Mit flammendem Blick
Ich nehme das letzte Streichholz
Und verbrenne eure schöne heile Welt»
Sie kochte sich die letzte Mahlzeit
Bevor sie sich erbrach
Dann spuckte sie voll teifer Abscheu
Ins schwarze Schlafgemach
«Ich hoffe, dass wir uns nie wieder sehn!»
Damit ihr wisst, wie es ist…
Wisst ihr jetzt, wie die Hölle wirklich ist?
Wisst ihr jetzt, wie die Hölle wirklich ist?
Wisst ihr, dass euer Spiel zu ende ist?
Wisst ihr, dass eure liebe tödlich ist?
(Nie wieder! Nie wieder!)
Damit ihr wisst, wie es ist…
She gently kisses her dearest toy
Before it breaks
Then cleans it up with dark desire
In the cold bedroom
She quietly gets the last match
From her father’s cupboard
«Why have you never helped me?»
She says in Mother’s ear
«I hope that we never see each other again!»
So that you know how it is
To be in hell
So that you know how it is
To cry for salvation
Only for this do I return
With flaming eyes
I take the last match
And burn your whole lovely world!
She cooks the last meal
Before it spills
Then she spat full of deep abhorrence
In the black bedroom
«I hope that we never see each other again!»
So that you know how it is
To be in hell
So that you know how it is
To cry for salvation
Only for this do I return
With flaming eyes
I take the last match
And burn your whole lovely world!
Do you know now how Hell really is?
Do you know now how Hell really is?
Do you know that your game is to end?
Do you know that your love is deadly?
(Never again! Never again!)
So that you know how it is
To be in hell
So that you know how it is
To cry for salvation
Only for this do I return
With flaming eyes
I take the last match
And burn your whole lovely world!

Das letzte Streichholz (translation)

She gently kissed her favorite toy
Before she broke it
Then she crept away full of dark longing
Into the cold bedroom
She quietly got the last match
Out of my father's closet
«Why did you never help me?»
she screamed in mother's ear
"I hope we never meet again!"
«So you know how it is
To be in hell
So you know how it is
After salvation to shrine
That's the only reason I'm coming back
With a flaming look
I take the last match
And burn your beautiful ideal world»
She cooked her last meal
Before she vomited
Then she spat in deep disgust
Into the black bedroom
"I hope we never see each other again!"
So you know how it is...
Do you now know how hell really is?
Do you now know how hell really is?
Do you know your game is over?
Do you know that your love is deadly?
(Never again! Never again!)
So you know how it is...
She gently kisses her dearest toy
Before it breaks
Then cleans it up with dark desire
In the cold bedroom
She quietly gets the last match
From her father's cupboard
«Why have you never helped me?»
She says in Mother's ear
«I hope that we never see each other again!»
So that you know how it is
To be in hell
So that you know how it is
To cry for salvation
Only for this do I return
With flaming eyes
I take the last match
And burn your whole lovely world!
She cooks the last meal
Before it spills
Then she spat full of deep abhorrence
In the black bedroom
«I hope that we never see each other again!»
So that you know how it is
To be in hell
So that you know how it is
To cry for salvation
Only for this do I return
With flaming eyes
I take the last match
And burn your whole lovely world!
Do you know now how Hell really is?
Do you know now how Hell really is?
Do you know that your game is to end?
Do you know that your love is deadly?
(Never again! Never again!)
So that you know how it is
To be in hell
So that you know how it is
To cry for salvation
Only for this do I return
With flaming eyes
I take the last match
And burn your whole lovely world!
