What role might my friends

have played then in the ending --


of your bond with me?


Welke rol speeldenWas war die Rolle
mijn vrienden in het einde --meiner Freunde beim Ende --

van jouw band met mij?unserer Bindung?

Zywa Tough friends

Being on everybody's tongue and being
furtively watched by the prettiest girls
is the advantage of boys
who work their way up laughing

at the expense of the concern
of their former friends
who do not understand
the betrayal and withdraw

in a hurt longing
for the former intimacy
(Some guys exaggerate
  their toughness, they overshoot

  the mark, so
  that everyone suffers
  a loss, no
  a person can't be worse)

He was the sweetest,

all of us thought so, we did --


in our carelessness.


Hij was de liefste,Er war der liebste,
dat vonden we allemaal --alle haben das gedacht --

veel te zorgeloos.viel zu sorgenlos.

Broken contact: an

itchy wound without a scab --


No sutures at all.


Verbroken contact:Kontakt verloren:
een wond die jeukt zonder korst --die Wunde juckt ohne Schorf --

Nergens hechtdraden.Gar keine Nähte.
