I take off everything - it is too sultry, -
I observe the weather dutifully, -
But everything off - it’s not done!
That means the weather cannot be driven away:
Further putting off one’s clothes is not permitted, -
Yes, that’s no beach-resort!

Whatever happens nowadays with our fashion
"Maxi" has again displaced the "Mini" -
Again, again a revolution!
Indeed I cannot catch up with the fashion -
Further it is not permitted (to dress tastefully)
But - the contrary too.

It’s dull to listen every evening to speeches:
I have about two dates in the evening -
Those and others, are not so simple.
It’s difficult changing dresses often -
That means I’m going to endevour -
That is, that’s however the question.
