Mein zweites Herz [English translation]

Who are you still trying to deceive now?

Who are you trying to hide?

Am I not a human being?

Made of flesh and blood?

Am I merely a dream?

The soul effusive

Have I no heart?

So I have two

Standing shattered by vanity

Tortured in reality

A dark corner of my smile

How clearly my reflection appears

And how contorted I appear to myself

How superficially a mirror paints my face

And how layered it gapes open and speaks:

"If you kiss and think of murder

My second heart - don't worry

I'll cover you up daily

protect you - as you do me

Always only do your duty

Since no-one recognises and hears you!"

Too stupid that I lay myself open once

Too stupid that I didn't silently lie

Late however I had to realise

That you, my right heart -

always loved me the left
