MUTTER (INGLES)

MUTTER (INGLES)

Mutter [Mother]
The tears of a crowd of very old children
I pull them like beads onto a white hair
I throw the tear necklace into the air
and I wish I had a mother
There is no sun shining for me
There was no breast, having cried milk
There is a tube sticking into my throat
I have no navel on my stomach
Mother
Mother
Mother
Mother
I was not allowed to lick any nipples
and there is no fold to hide behind
Nobody gave me a name
Fathered in a hurry and without seed
This night I promised the mother who never
gave birth to me
That I will give her a disease
and afterwards I will dump her into the river
Mother
Mother
Mother
Mother
Mother
Mother
Mother
Mother
In her lungs lives and eel
on my forehead a birthmark
I remove it with the kiss of a knife
even if I have to die to become of this
Mother
Mother
Mother
Mother
In her lungs lives and eel
on my forehead a birthmark
I remove it with the kiss of a knife
even if I have to bleed to death
Mother
Oh, give me strength
Mother
Mother
Oh, give me strength
Mother
Mother
Oh, give me strength
Mother
Mother
Oh, give me strength
