Ute Lemper - I Am An Unusual Thing

[nazazatrillirivos]

I am an unusual thing.

I have no soul and no body.

One cannot see me

but can hear me.

I do not exist for me alone.

Only a human being can give me life

as often as he wishes.

And my life is only of short duration,

for I die almost at the moment I am born.

[nazazatrillirivos]

And so, according to man's caprice,

I may live and die untold times a day.

To those who give me life I do nothing,

but those on whose account I am born

I leave with painful sensations

for the short duration of my life;

of my life till I depart.

[nazazatrillirivos]

I am appointed to a situation

which will afford me

leisure to write music

just to please myself.

And I feel capable of doing something

worthy of the fame I've acquired.

But instead, I must die.
