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 the existence of aliens

I even believe

That they have long been living among us

Extraterrestrials who flee their galaxies

And head straight for Earth

They have adapted and look almost

Like us, just more beautiful

They like to eat seeds

But never gyros or döner

I know such an alien

That speaks a foreign language

It sounds almost exactly like ours

But you can't understand it

When it says, it means 'no'

If it wants to be nice, it seems cool

It says: 'I just need five minutes'

That shows a confused sense of time

I almost fear, when landing the spaceship

Upon entering the planet

Somehow it lost its sense of

Logic completely

Because unfortunately, it doesn't think much

It prefers to be guided

By absurd emotions

It's not easy to live with it

The foreign being

From an infinitely distant star

That is so infinitely foreign to me

I still simply like it

The being with which I have nothing in common

It is my beloved enemy

Whom I still don't trust

This being is called 'woman'

I don't just believe in the existence of aliens

I even believe

That they have long been living among us

Aliens that were banished

Because it was recognized in time

That they always take much more

Than they give

They have adapted

And seem almost

Like us, just rather ugly

Are not cute, rarely peaceful

And certainly never reliable

I know such an alien

That speaks a foreign language

It sounds almost exactly like ours

But unfortunately, it doesn't master it

If you want to talk to it

It usually seems distracted

In many cases, it's not the brain

With which it thinks

Maybe there was a metamorphosis

Upon entering the planet

And it didn't just slip

Only the heart deep into the pants

It doesn't want to read, can hardly write

And prefers to be carried away

By bundled hormones

It's not easy to live with it

The foreign being

From an infinitely distant star

That is so infinitely foreign to me

I still simply like it

The being with which I have nothing in common

It is my beloved enemy

That one can hardly understand

This being is called 'man'

Is that the reason

Why we two argue so much?

Do we come from different stars

And only meet here

To quickly reproduce?

That would explain a lot

For example, why you are so difficult

And why one never understands you

And why you look so strange

And one never knows how you are doing

And why one never 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.
