Have you done something that no one else does?
Do you wear high heels or even a hat?
Or have you worn a dress that's too short
Without asking your neighbors for permission beforehand?

Now you're naturally being scorned
A disgrace to the whole neighborhood
You don't even know exactly what their names are
While they're already tearing you apart with their mouths

Let people talk and don't listen to them
Most people have nothing better to do
Let people talk, during the day and at night
Let people talk, they've always done that

You surely robbed a bank, right?
How else could you pay your rent?
And you can never go to the United States again
Because you're Osama bin Laden's lover

Do you shave your lady beard daily?
Or have you buried some bodies in the garden?
The neighbors have hinted at something like that
So don't be surprised if the police show up at your door soon

Let people talk and just don't listen
Most people don't have any evil intentions
It's their monotonous lives that torment them
And the day becomes more interesting when telling tales

And probably they're not even embarrassed
They lack any insight
And once again, they show they're petty
Inevitably xenophobic

Have you heard and tell me, did you know?
That you earn your money through prostitution
You're usually standing in front of the bus station
A colleague of a relative saw you there recently

Let people talk and just smile gently
Most people get their education from the tabloids
And that consists, who wouldn't know
Of fear, hate, boobs, and the weather forecast

Let people talk, because as it always is
As long as people talk, they're not doing anything worse
And a little hypocrisy you can afford
Stay polite and say nothing, that's what annoys them the most
