Touché Lyrics in English by Beatrice Egli
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Touché by Beatrice Egli from German to English.
Ich wollt' ich sein, ich wollte mein Leben zurück
I wanted to be myself, I wanted my life back
Selber entscheiden, was mir noch gefehlt hat für's Glück
To decide for myself what I was still missing for happiness
Ich treff' mich jetzt öfter mit Freunden, die ich lang nicht sah
I meet up more often now with friends I haven't seen in a long time
Ich hab unser Sofa zurückgestellt, wo's mal war
I put our sofa back where it used to be
Uns're Entscheidung, die hab ich noch nie bereut
Our decision, I've never regretted it
Nicht vor Monaten, Wochen, Tagen, aber heut'
Not months, weeks, days ago, but today
Touché
Touché
Ich geb' zu, das tut weh
I admit, that hurts
Wenn ich dich Hand in Hand am Straßenrand mit einer Anderen seh'
When I see you hand in hand by the roadside with another woman
Touché
Touché
Ich geb' zu, das tut weh
I admit, that hurts
Denn jetzt frag' ich mich, warum sie, nicht ich
Because now I ask myself why she, not I
An deiner Seite steh'?
Is standing by your side?
Touché
Touché
Ich geb' zu, das tut weh
I admit, that hurts
Ich geh' wieder tanzen und bleibe die ganze Nacht aus
I go dancing again and stay out all night
Ich koch' nur noch selten, bestell' eine Pizza nach Haus
I rarely cook anymore, I order a pizza home
Ich schlaf' wieder lang, weil dein Wecker jetzt gar nicht mehr geht
I sleep in again because your alarm clock doesn't go off anymore
Unsere Bilder, die hab ich zur Seite gelegt
Our pictures, I put them aside
Uns're Entscheidung, die hab ich noch nie bereut
Our decision, I've never regretted it
Nicht vor Monaten, Wochen, Tagen, aber heut'
Not months, weeks, days ago, but today
Touché
Touché
Ich geb' zu, das tut weh
I admit, that hurts
Wenn ich dich Hand in Hand am Straßenrand mit einer Anderen seh'
When I see you hand in hand by the roadside with another woman
Touché
Touché
Ich geb' zu, das tut weh
I admit, that hurts
Denn jetzt frag' ich mich, warum sie, nicht ich
Because now I ask myself why she, not I
An deiner Seite steh'? (An deiner Seite steh'?)
Is standing by your side? (Is standing by your side?)
Touché
Touché
Ich geb' zu, das tut weh
I admit, that hurts
Nur für einen Augenblick
Just for a moment
Lächelst du mich an
You smile at me
Ein Blick zu viel, dann siehst du mich
One look too many, then you see me
Mit einem and'ren Mann
With another man
Touché
Touché
Es tut mir nicht mehr weh
It doesn't hurt anymore
Wenn ich jetzt Hand in Hand am Straßenrand mit einem Anderen steh'
When I now stand hand in hand by the roadside with another man
Touché
Touché
Es tut mich nicht mehr weh
It doesn't hurt anymore
Denn was mal war mit uns
Because what we once had
War wunderschön, doch jetzt ist es passé (ist es passé)
Was beautiful, but now it's over (it's over)
Touché
Touché
Es tut mir nicht mehr weh
It doesn't hurt anymore

Touché — Touché
Touché is a French loanword commonly used in German, especially in informal contexts. It literally means 'touched' and is used to acknowledge a clever or effective point made by an opponent, often in an argument or debate.
In this song, Beatrice Egli uses "Touché" to express a moment of realization and vulnerability. Despite her efforts to move on from a past relationship, seeing her ex with someone new hits her hard, making her acknowledge the lingering pain. It's an interesting word choice that adds a touch of sophistication and wit to her emotional confession.
