Gar Nichts

Absolutely nothing

Diana: I'm so excited, because I'm going to the state school for music, dance, and acting now. I mean, that was my biggest wish: to become a serious actress! So, today is the first day of class and we're sitting in the rehearsal room and our teacher, Mr. Karp...h...h...Mr. Karp... Anyway, the teacher says: 'Okay, we're improvising now! So, you're on a sled. It's snowing heavily and it's cold. Okay? ... Go!'

Every day we tried
the ride down, ride down
to mark.
Every day we tried
to hear the wind, hear the wind
and freeze.
And I delved into my innermost
to see what's happening there.
Yes, I delved into my innermost
and tried. Tried!
And everyone goes: 'Sh-shsh, sh-shsh... I feel the snow,
I feel the wind, I feel the ice.'
And Mr. Karp looks at me and asks:
'Okay, Morales, what did you feel?'

And I say: 'Absolutely nothing! I feel absolutely nothing!'
He says: 'Who feels absolutely nothing will be relegated here!'
But there was nothing in me,
there was absolutely nothing in me.
Just the feeling that this nonsense depresses me!
But I told myself: 'It's okay, it's just the beginning.
Maybe a birth defect. There are simply no sleds in San Juan.'

As lesson number 2, we had to
be a table, a car, a bag of ice cream.
Mr. Karp always said: 'Well done, except for Morales.
Come on, Morales, do it alone!'
And I delved into my innermost
to look like ice cream.
Yes, I delved into my innermost
and tried to melt.
They shouted: 'That was nothing!'
Called it: 'Absolutely nothing!'
