Rough English translation of the song below.
Verse 1:
It’s already softening up in side. It’s less hard to think about it already. The fact that you
decided to live with this chick from tinder, in this small apartment somewhere. It is fine.
Really.
Verse 2:
There is already less crying. I can handle the image of me sitting alone on our couch. We
divided our stuff properly. And you are together now with that chick. Lying in our bed
going on holiday in our tent. There is just one thing that still connects us and that is our
Netflix membership.
Chorus 1:
I can see that you are watching but not with me, this is the end, la fin, it’s over.
Verse 3:
Maybe it was all too heavy; the things we watched together: Breaking Bad and House of
cards. And that documentary: Untertage. Now I see what you are watching, Star trek,
Friends and Gossip Girl… Maybe it’s better this way. Man, you are such a prick.
Verse 4:
Do you remember that movie we watched together? Dead poet’s society. She (his
girlfriend) was not even born when that movie came out. No, you don’t have to be
embarrassed. I got used to it. The last thing that still connects us is the Netflix
membership.
Chorus 2:
I can see that you are watching but not with me, this is the end, la fin, it’s over.
Bridge: Go indulge yourself in lightness, you fool. I get it. Go watch your stupid series
with a lot of jokes. You and me was way too intense and too heavy. You go and enjoy
yourself with her. And you know what, my love? I gave up our Netflix membership.
Chorus 3: I can see you are watching but not AT me, this is the end, la fin, it’s over.
