nem tudhatom már, hogy ki is vagyok,
hiába. egykor tapintottalak
eltűntek mára a nyomok is mind
ujjlenyomataim mit sem mondanak.
szólítgatom éjjel is ujjaim nyomát,
hasztalan: ők is elfelejtenek
utoljára ahogy láttam őket,
hajadat túrják, s táncot lejtenek
merre vagytok, merre régi ujjnyomataim?
“elmegyek végre.” - gondoltam reggel,
s fiókjaid ürítettem éppen.
hirtelen százezernyi ujjnyomod
hullt alá a padlóra szépen...
mint akit nem érdekel mit veszít
hagytad csak, le sem hajoltál értük
magad sem tudtad, melyik kié,
és kérdőn egymásra néztünk:
merre vagytok, merre régi ujjnyomataim?
és most házasodnál gyorsan,
és vinnél a templomba rendesen,
s hullna ránk konfetti-áradat...
de tudod: ez nem az én esetem.
s bár elvennélek szívesen,
kezdeni egy olyan lánnyal félek,
ki régi ujjlenyomataimmal
azonosít amíg élek.
merre vagytok, merre régi ujjnyomataim?

I touched you once too often
Now I don't know who I am
My fingerprints were missing
When I wiped away the jam
Yes I called my fingerprints all night
But they don't seem to care
The last time that I saw them
They were leafing through your hair
Fingerprints, fingerprints
Where are you now my fingerprints?
Yeah I thought I'd leave this morning
So I emptied out your drawer
A hundred thousand fingerprints
They floated to the floor
You know you hardly stopped to pick them up
You don't care what you lose
Ah you don't even seem to know
Whose fingerprints are whose
Fingerprints, fingerprints
Where are you now my fingerprints?
And now you want to marry me
You want to take me down the aisle
You want to throw confetti fingerprints
You know that's not my style
O sure I'd like to marry you
But I can't face the dawn
With any girl who knew me
When my fingerprints were on
Fingerprints, fingerprints
Where are you now my fingerprints?
Fingerprints, oh fingerprints
Where are you now my fingerprints?
