Translation
You're beautiful
Show me a smart book, I'll close my eyes
Beauty sleep
Show me the dust in the hallway, I'll close my eyes
Beauty sleep
DJ Deagle
Good morning, the fine Sir Gatoah
I'm a phenomenon, I am 10 out of 10
Geometrically perfect, like a LEGO face
I got that Youtuber-Look by the book and printed
Every day I gobble down a new beauty product
I protect myself, because I never read price tags
They don't tolerate negative female images*
And they don't tolerate facial wrinkles
Michael Jackson Style, I gotta keep up**
So I apply even more layers
Who wants an honest skin?
My favorite resource? (eyyy) Botox
I get all those prices, they call me an idiot
Ey yo, mirror mirror in the phone, tell me:
Am I the King?
The mirror hesitates awkwardly, then it begins to sing
You're beautiful, but in exchange, you have no skills***
Not reading, not writing nor anything else
You're beautiful, but that's not your fault
That's not even your fault, it's not your fault
In spring the little rose thinks: "Who doesn't want to suffer, has to be beautiful."****
I don't get it...
But I put so much effort into this, every luxury fashion convention makes me compliments
Nice user interface! And they make me an offer
that makes me happy
99% off... on my looks
I have to fit into these clothes, if I'm hungry, I'll have boiled laundry
Some people only wear the same trashy shreds
I wear something different every day - fabric change*****
Don't ask how old the ones who sew my clothes are
On a scale of 1 to 10
Welp, clothes make people, but the people that make the clothes
to this day, can't afford too many designer jackets
I'm losing my train of thought - mirror in the phone: Am I the king? (Come on) The mirror hesitates awkwardly, then it begins to sing
You're beautiful, but in exchange, you have no skills***
Not reading, not writing nor anything else
You're beautiful, but that's not your fault
That's not even your fault, it's not your fault
In spring the little rose thinks: "Who doesn't want to suffer, has to be beautiful."
I must've misheard, what was that?
You're beautiful, but in exchange, you have no skills***
Not reading, not writing nor anything else
You're beautiful, but that's not your fault
That's not even your fault, it's not your fault
In spring the little rose thinks: "Who doesn't want to suffer, has to be beautiful."
Show me a smart book, I'll close my eyes
Beauty sleep
Show me the dust in the hallway, I'll close my eyes
Beauty sleep
Show me a smart book, I'll close my eyes
Beauty sleep
(clothes make people, but the people that make the clothes
to this day, can't afford too many designer jackets)
Show me the dust in the hallway, I'll close my eyes
Beauty sleep
(to this day, can't afford too many designer jackets)

*Weibsbilder literally translates to "women's picture", though the word for 'woman' used is a very rude one. It's kind of a rude way to say woman, like a very oldfashioned 'bitch'. The double meaning is that women who are negative are just as annoying to society as women who don't make a pretty picture, as in ugly women.
**Schritt means 'step' in German, but it can also means 'crotch' - so he says both 'I have to keep up', and 'I have to hold my crotch', which is the connection to Michael Jackson.
***Oh boy. Dafür kannst du nichts, very literally translated, would be "For that, you can nothing". It's used both to say 'you couldn't have changed it' and 'it's not your fault', but it can also mean that 'in exchange, you have no skills/you can do nothing". In other words, he's saying "You're beautiful, but it's not your fault that you are", which sounds rather comforting, but also "You're beautiful, but there's nothing you can do well" as evidenced by him listing things they can't do in the next line.
****A play on the saying "Who wants to be beautiful has to suffer", meaning that beauty is achieved by being in pain (think plucking your eyebrows)
*****Stoffwechsel literally means fabric change, but since Stoff can mean absolutely everything that is some form of material, it's also the scientific term for metabolism.
