No need to translate to English, Kraftwerk themselves redid this song in English.
I am a bit surprised I am the first one to comment on this one: A lot of people love this song.
What is it about?
Even the greatest (rock/music/film) stars find their face in the mirror.
"Manchmal verliebte er sich in sein Spiegelbild
Und dann wiederum sah er ein Zerrbild "
Sometimes the star falls in love with what he/she sees.
Sometimes he sees a horror.
This song is about self reflection clearly, and all the confusion it can bring.
People have different sides, and it is all the harder to give a reliable interpretation of oneself.
There is also a deeper layer in to be found:
"Sogar die grössten Stars
Leben ihr Leben im Spiegelglas"
Even the Greatest Stars, live their lives in what they see in the mirror (their reflection).
It seems to hint at the notion of one's own self image, assuming it to be "ture" or real.
This song is complex, in the old Kraftwerk style.

"ture" = "true"
"ture" = "true"
