Spiegelglas [English translation]

Now that the young girl and the man

Isolde and Tristan

Both drank the love potion

The world was immediately set into motion

Love, besieger of all hearts

Snuck into their hearts

And before they knew it

It had planted its victory banner there

And pulled them into its power

They become united

To the effect that they became as clear to one another as a looking-glass

Oh dear Tristan and Isolde

This drink will be the death of the both of you

At night, as the beauty lay down

Contemplating her grief and thoughts

Regarding her beloved

He now came sneaking into her room

Her friend and her doctor

Tristan and the potion

Love, the doctor,

Led sick Tristan’s hand

And also found Isolde, the other sick one, there

It then took them both

And gave him to her, her to him

Each other as medicine

Oh dear Tristan and Isolde

This drink will be the death of the both of you
