Der Doppelgänger [English translation]

The night is silent, the streets lie still

My dear lived in this house

She has already left the town

But the house still exists in the same place.

A human stands there as well and looks up

Wrings his hands out of pain

I'm filled with horror when I see him

The moon shows me my own shape.

You lookalike, you pale guy!

Why do you imitate my love's suffering

That torments me in this place

So many nights in the past time?

• Artist:Franz Schubert
