Are you even loved there?..

Do they at least love you there? Tell me, don’t torment me!

Do they at least love you there? Remember, listen,
Just in case of emergency, just in case,
So that it won’t be difficult, I’ve emptied my soul!
So that I won’t think and remember anymore,
So that I won’t wound you with worry again,
I’ve emptied my soul in the melancholy of the rooms.
Oh, Lord, grant me a short memory!

Do they at least love you there?
Do they at least love you there?
Do they at least love you there?

Do they at least love you there? Do they cherish you? Do they kiss you?
Do they hug you? Are you happy? Are you cheerful?
No, no, I’m not sad, no, no, I’m not melancholy:

I’ve emptied my soul in the melancholy of the armchairs!
Aren’t you cold? Aren’t you sad? Aren’t you exhausted?
They say winter will be harsh this year!
Just in case, just in case,
I shook out my soul in the melancholy of words,

Are they even loved there?
Are they even loved there?
Are they even loved there?

I shook out my soul in the melancholy of rooms.
So that I would no longer think and no longer remember.
I shook out my soul in the melancholy of armchairs.
Tell me you’re happy, tell me you’re cheerful.
I shook out my soul in the melancholy of words.
So that I would no longer appear weak and boring.

But remember: loved ones are not abandoned, not destroyed!

Why are you silent?
Why are you silent?
Tell me, don’t torment me:
Are you even loved there?
Are you even loved there?
Are you even loved there?
