----------------------------------------------- note:English lyrics adapted and translated by ChatGPT. ----------------------------------------------- [Intro] [Verse 1] I lean in close to kiss you while you sleep. So very slow, you whisper “ma–ma”. Your childish face, I only watch you there. Just breathing on and on, deep in the night below. [Break] [Pre-Chorus] Did you think that I was really your mom? No, I don’t wanna be like her, no. Motherhood never ever felt right to me. And “family” is a word I clearly hate. [Break] [Chorus] Men are all so pointless, really pointless. Marriage sounds so stupid to me. Children are just too much, always too much. A home like that… I still, still want it. [Break] [Verse 2] I’m watching you, you’re sleeping quietly. That wrinkle there — another bad dream? Your heavy breath is hurting my own chest. Did you start this nightmare just because of me? [Break] [Pre-Chorus] What should I do at times like this, tell me. If I became your mother somehow. Even if I wasn’t your lover. I could still be gentle, hold you close to me. [Break] [Chorus] Women are so tiring, so exhausting. Friendship never means that much. Love like that feels unreal, feels impossible. A family… I want it, I really do. [Break] [Bridge] It’s not that I ever liked being alone. Somewhere along the way, I was alone. Everybody wants a shape of happiness. I want it all, it all just slips away. Something important doesn’t fit inside me. I don’t even know what I’m missing now. [Break] [Final Chorus] Boyfriends, I don’t really care about them. Girlfriends are nowhere, nowhere around. I don’t even understand who I am. But you are… you are so, so beautiful. [End]
