Neukölln English translation
von Madeline Juno

I never want to go back to Neukölln
I never want to feel what I want to forget again
I'd rather fill my heart with tar
Because if it turns cold it's finally quiet

I'm feeling empty because I'm
Not even sad anymore, I'm not
Even angry anymore
I'm everything I cannot put into words
Days, weeks and now months have passed
But where should I go with all my questions
I'll probably take them with me to my tomb
Oh well, then

Maybe I was never enough
Was I too much for you
Tell me, what were
All those years worth
When we said you and me forever
Tell me what was the point of that


I never want to go back, never want to go back to Neukölln
I never want to feel what I want to forget again
I'd rather fill my heart with tar
Because if it turns cold it's finally quiet
And when I talked about love
I always meant you
I was thinking about trust
I could only think of us
I never want to go back to Neukölln
Never back to Neukölln

Why did you tell me about it through the phone?
Why at 3am? ha
You knew I was all alone
You just quickly took a flight
Then you never returned 'cause
Telling it to someone's face is supposed to be painful
And I begged you
Please, just give me one conversation
So I understand why you're leaving
Why can't we talk?

Maybe I have never been worth more than nothing
To you, oh


I never want to go back, never want to go back to Neukölln
I never want to feel what I want to forget again
I'd rather fill my heart with tar
Because if it turns cold it's finally quiet
And when I talked about love
I always meant you
I was thinking about trust
I could only think of us
I never want to go back to Neukölln
Never back to Neukölln
