read the note at the bottom. Remember that its sung in german. Languages can't translate COMPLETELY to another language. What you see is as CLOSE as it can come. but not exact.

The beggining isn't supposed to sound good in english. Its supposed, and DOES sound good to the german ear.

True, but in this case it is more of a case of a bit sloppy translation. English and German come from the same branch in terms of language, they can be used around each other. While not a 100% certainty, a german, an english man and a norwegian for that matter can actually to some extent comprehend each other by the similarities in the names of things.

love and liebe for example are easy to unverstand.
