[She singing in French]
He asking the audience:
Do you actually understand French?
Seriously, if nobody understands, we better stop.
She:
What are you doing?
He:
They don’t understand.
She:
And now?
He:
We could start from the beginning and I translate simultaneously into German. Would that be ok? Yes, that’s how we do it.
She in French, he translating into German:
I have tried for so long
to start a relationship with you.
But you don’t see me.
You have been always indifferent
since we met for the first time.
Why?
He:
Why so, wherefore, why?
Please tell me the reasons!
She in French, he translating into German:
Why don’t you realize what I feel for you?
[long glance to him]
I look into your eyes,
my God, they imprison me,
but they are blind and therefore cannot free me.
He:
God, what kitsch!
She in French, he translating into German:
Even so, I love you.
We are destined for each other.
He:
Oh God, what do I have to translate?
She:
At night, I dream that I kiss you.
He, pretending to translate:
The weather could be better.
She:
No, you always react like that.
How can I show you my feelings?
He:
Listen to me! We don’t fit together.
She:
Even so, I love you.
He:
I live in Schwartau and you in Paris.
She:
Even so, I love you.
He:
That’s very far apart, it would never work.
She:
Even so, I love you.
He:
And we don’t speak the same language.
She:
Believe me, I understand more than you think.
You don’t give me any chance.
He:
Don’t always interrupt me.
She:
I am tired of your ridiculous phrases.
He:
Why do my feelings not count?
She:
So, what do you want? Is it yes or no?
