Kompliziert Lyrics in English Namika

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Kompliziert by Namika from German to English.
I say no! and you understand
You twist the meaning, no matter what I say
If you don't get it, then ask again
As if that's so hard
I'm in the bathroom, you knock on the door
You still alive, did something happen?
I've been waiting here forever
How long are you gonna get ready?
Not much longer, just the hair
I'll be right there, what's with all the questions?
I'm doing this for you too, so wait
And you like it, so quit nagging
But today's your lucky day, I've got a dictionary for you
I'm not complicated, you just don't understand me
There's a big question mark right on your face
I'm not complicated, you just don't understand me
I speak and you hear no!
I tell you something, you cut me off
How will you get what I mean
If you don't listen to me?
In front of our friends you mimic me
Come on, babe, I'm just kidding!
Thanks a lot for your comment
You really think that looks cool?
Around people you act like the boss
When I'm talking you turn away
At home you bring me breakfast in bed
Sorry, truth hurts
But today's your lucky day, I've got a dictionary for you
I'm not complicated, you just don't understand me
There's a big question mark right on your face
I'm not complicated, you just don't understand me
Bridge
How should I explain it if you don't speak my language?
When so many of my words sound like Chinese to you
Come, I'll blindfold you, maybe you'll understand me blind
Ah, that makes no sense, still I take you as you are
When you hold the next monologue, excited like a kid
I'll act interested and just won't listen
But today's your lucky day, I've got a dictionary for you
I'm not complicated, you just don't understand me
There's a big question mark right on your face
I'm not complicated, you just don't understand me

SONG MEANING

Namika’s catchy track “Kompliziert” turns everyday couple-drama into a playful anthem about miscommunication. The singer walks us through familiar scenes – knocking on the bathroom door, debating how long it takes to get ready, teasing in front of friends – and each time she hears that she is “so complicated,” she fires back: “I’m not complicated, you just don’t understand me!” With tongue-in-cheek humor she even gifts her partner an imaginary dictionary, highlighting how their problem is not her personality but his listening skills.

Beneath the witty lines and bouncy beat lies a relatable message: relationships can feel like speaking two different languages if we do not truly hear one another. Namika reminds us that patience, clear communication, and a dash of empathy are the real translators of love, turning confusion into connection.
