Hässlich [English translation]

Ugly, I want to be for you

And like a bad dream

That doesn't only visit you at night

And you hardly escape it

If you ask me why I am ugly

And how I can live when I'm so ugly

It's like you say, I'm so ugly and worthless

You can already see it: my inner being is inverted

Ugly, I want to be for you

And like a bad dream

That doesn't only visit you at night

And you hardly escape it

The mirror of your inner being

You just do not know yet

I show you your soul

In my ugly face

Could at least try to be as beautiful as you are

So unfathomably good and still so pure

I stand aside, a whole world away

So foreign, for I never learned your beauty

Ugly, I want to be for you

And like a bad dream

That doesn't only visit you at night

And you hardly escape it

The mirror of your inner being

You just do not know yet

I show you your soul

In my ugly face
