Eins und Eins, das macht Zwei English translation
von Hildegard Knef

One and one, that makes two
So kiss and don’t think about it
Because thinking damages the illusion
Everything turns, turns in circles
And if you get off track
It’s just experience
Instead of revelation
What does it matter

Man is inherently lonely
And remains alone
If you don’t seek together
A little piece of happiness
The happiness that one trampled
Their whole life long
That suddenly with a few kisses
One has at home


One and one, that makes two
A heart is always involved
And if you’re lucky, then there are two
No one will invent the recipe
No one will fathom it
Sometimes it lasts for life
And sometimes it’s just a fling

Man is inherently cowardly
And is ashamed of his feelings
Just don’t show it
Because morality demands it
But in the event of the event
He hides in the dark
The good Lord sees everything
And has long since discovered him

One and one, that makes two
So kiss and smile
Even if sometimes you feel like crying
Happy is the one who enjoys today
And forgets what is past
It comes as it must
First comes the first kiss
Then comes the last kiss
Then the end
