Das Fremde Wesen Lyrics in English Wise Guys

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Das Fremde Wesen by Wise Guys from German to English.
I don't just believe in aliens' existence
I even think
that they've long lived among us
Aliens who've fled their galaxies
and headed straight for Earth
They've adapted and look almost
like us, only prettier
They love eating seeds
but never gyros or döner
I know one such alien
that speaks a foreign language
it sounds almost exactly like ours
yet nobody can understand it
When it speaks, it means 'no'
If it tries to be nice, it seems cold
If it says, 'I just need five minutes'
that proves its crazy sense of time
I almost fear that when its ship landed
when it stepped onto the planet
somehow it lost its sense of
logic entirely
'Cause sadly it doesn't think much of thinking
it prefers being guided
by absurd emotions
it's not easy to live with it
That alien being
from an infinitely distant star
that's so infinitely strange to me
I still simply like it
The being I share absolutely nothing with
it's my beloved foe
whom I still don't trust
this being calls itself 'woman'
I don't just believe in aliens' existence
I even think
that they've long lived among us
Aliens who were banished
because folks realized in time
that they always take far more
than they give
They've adapted
and seem almost
like us, only uglier
they're not cute, rarely peaceful
and for sure never reliable
I know one such alien
that speaks a foreign language
it sounds almost exactly like ours
but sadly it doesn't control them
If you want to talk to it
it usually seems distracted
in many cases it's not the brain
it thinks with
Maybe there was a metamorphosis
when it stepped onto the planet
and in the process not only
its heart slipped deep into its pants
It doesn't want to read, can hardly write
and likes best to drift
driven by bundled hormones
it's not easy to live with it
That alien being
from an infinitely distant star
that's so infinitely strange to me
I still simply like it
The being I share absolutely nothing with
it's my beloved foe
that you can hardly understand
this being calls itself 'man'
Is that the reason
why we two argue so much?
Do we come from different stars
and have only met
just to reproduce quickly here
that'd explain a lot
for example, why you're so difficult
and why nobody ever understands you
and why you look so weird
and nobody ever knows how you are right now
and why nobody ever understands you

SONG MEANING

Ever feel as if the opposite sex is speaking an intergalactic dialect? Wise Guys turn that idea into a cheeky sci-fi comedy. In "Das Fremde Wesen" the singer claims aliens already walk among us: dazzling kernel-eating creatures who never touch Döner (code-name "Frau") and slightly shabby, hormone-driven beings who rarely read or write (code-name "Mann"). Each verse fires off playful stereotypes—odd food choices, baffling time-keeping, missing logic—until men and women appear as visitors from totally different galaxies.

Behind the humour hides a warm wink. The chorus calls the alien a geliebter Feind (beloved enemy), hinting that love often grows from the very differences that confuse us. So while communication may feel like translating Martian, curiosity and affection keep pulling the two "species" together. With clever wordplay and a catchy a-cappella groove, the Wise Guys invite us to laugh at our quirks instead of starting interstellar warfare.
