Egoist [English translation]

I constantly hear your voice

That speaks to me silently

In the labyrinth of my thoughts,

I can hear you as you search for me

You shelter me from myself

I deny you before the world

You are the shadow of my life

Without you I would be a hero

You are my ego, my egotist

Who lives inside me

and is the closest to me

You are my ego, my egotist

That I deny and that no one knows

My conscience is your blade

You thrust my heart with it

Whenever I do what you want me to

I can be a different person for me

Your voice gifts me with dreams

Your filthy lucre is your reward

Whenever I hatch my plans

I am the king and you are my throne

You are my ego, my egotist

Who lives inside me

and is the closest to me

You are my ego, my egotist

That I deny and that no one knows

Whenever I think of myself, it strengthens you

Whenever I deny you, it weakens you

Whenever I lose you,

I can be what I want to

Whenever I do what you say,

you are finally quiet

You are my ego, my egotist

Who lives inside me

and is the closest to me

You are my ego, my egotist

That I deny and that no one knows
