Bester Feind [English translation]

And you stand in front of your canvas

(You) paint your life then more colorful

You feel quite healthy

You quickly forget to remember.

No, it doesn’t come to you any longer,

(It) must have slipped your mind long ago.

Somewhere, however, it is written,

you should love your enemies,

they embrace and seduce,

Open your door.

Come here

and bow down before yourself.

You willingly suffer very much.

Run away

before the ghosts of the world!

Nobody follows you

because your worst enemy is you.

And then you take your binoculars,

the world looks enormously big to you.

Dreams do not release you

and you feel so downtrodden.

You have seldom loved yourself

and you fall through its filter.

Komm her

und verbeug dich vor dir selbst.

Du leidest viel zu gerne.

Lauf weg

vor den Gespenstern dieser Welt!

Niemand folgt dir,

denn dein schlimmster Feind bist du.

Were the king, that one has liked

were the beggar, that one gave to

Come you need to remember

then you know that one loves you

Are your best enemy.
