Translation
Mann gegen Mann
Destiny has smiled on me
Gave me what men kill to see
Taken me up to the stars
Oh so close, yet oh so far
My fate falls into my hands
My desires, my commands
Where fresh water meets the sea
And taints itself enduringly
The Little Prince speaks out to me
A king will rule without his queen
When they tell me "come on out"
This cruel world blinds itself in doubt
Mann gegen mann [1], I have no eyes for the other
Mann gegen mann, vice and virtue so unclear
Mann gegen mann, I now serve a second master
Mann gegen mann, vice and virtue so unclear
They see me hiding in a corner
Shadows form into my borders
I come well armored, well prepared
When my lust cannot be beared
My clan labels me a traitor
This nightmare doesn't wait till later
Mann gegen mann, I have no eyes for the other
Mann gegen mann, vice and virtue so unclear
Mann gegen mann, but still my heart goes through a freezer
Mann gegen mann, [tense breathing] [2]
Schwulah! (x2) [3]
I've no concern for sin or vice
The sun has set for tonight
But still my heart goes through a freezer
[more tense breathing]Schwulah, Mann gegen mann (x3)
Schwulah, Mann gegen mann gegen mann

About translator
This is a poetic translation I came up with in July, an English cover if you want to think of it like that. Also, be mature about the notes.
[1] I thought "Mann gegen Mann" wouldn't sound any better in English so I left it as "Mann gegen Mann". This is German for "Man Against Man."
[2] "Kalte zungen die da schlagen" is German for "Cold tongues that beat there". When two people make out, they sometimes lick their partner's neck, eliciting a moan (the tense breathing).
[3] "Schwulah" was just too good to change. "Schwuler" is a German word referring to a gay man.
