Masken, Masken
Udo Jürgens
Masks, Masks
On all the paths to truth there is a mirror and it shows
Often no face
Because a perfectly made-up heart shows neither happiness nor fear
When it breaks from pain
Yes, the wretchedness of hypocrisy counts for a lot in a world
Which builds on facades
The whole life like a masked dance on ice that never thaws
What can free us
Lies don't help us
Tear down the veils
Show me your face
Masks I see masks
Snow on the feelings
Masks nothing but masks
Image of loneliness
Masks all masks
Hearts without souls
Masks I see masks
Life without time
Since your gaze has the shine of the Sun that knows no mask
Since then I need you
Because the light you give is for me and my world
Essential to life
And when cowardice is unmasked and clearly visible before us
Then we chase them away
For where tears convince, lies never find a word
Only the truth counts
She is like the light
Tear down the veils
Show me your face
Masks I see masks
Snow on the feelings
Masks nothing but masks
Image of loneliness
Masks
Masks without masks
Let's meet
Masks without masks
Standing in front of each other
