Maskenball [English translation]

Masquerade ball

Masquerade ball

Come to me, you beautiful child

And dance in a round very fast

Masquerade ball

Music resounds, there she stands again

Your friends play songs

You dance gallantly to them

And nobody sees your pain

A smile can be seen on your face

Which protects you cold and lifeless

Masquerade ball

Masquerade ball

Come to me, you beautiful child

And dance in a round very fast

The melody sounds full of grace

You dance to it - that's what they see

Your friends want to see it

And the dancing goes faster

But the musicians do not see

How much you are suffering under your mask

Masquerade ball

Masquerade ball

Come to me, you beautiful child

And dance in a round very fast

Masquerade ball

Hold the mask in front of your face

So that nobody sees how beautiful you are

Masquerade ball

One, two, three, four

Dance at the masquerade ball with me

Your whole poor life you've been to a masquerade ball

Your smile was frozen, it shone like crystal

Nobody saw through it, but they all looked down on you

If you don't want to die alive, then simply put the mask off!
