A free translation of the lyrics:

Dear Sister, you can choose the man that you please
As a queen you enter a room
A goddess, smiling

is what all men see
And I feel hopeless and stupid

Dear Sister, it's not your fault that you're beaming
As a star - success is yours
You can get all men
The one you take is maybe the one that I lose
Beacuse, Dear Sister
One of them is mine

Dear Sister, to be revered must be wonderful
Tell me, how does it feel
Do you become drunk with power
It hurts inside me
Seeing men prancing
You command - it happens like you said

Dear Sister, what is love to you - deep inside
Has it ever struck you
You can get all men
The one you take is maybe the one that I lose
Beacuse, Dear Sister
One of them is mine

Dear Sister, when I see him standing there beside you
Like a puppy, I should turn around and go
But I am still left
All the pride I have
Is like gone, it's just so

Dear Sister, he is everything to me, you should know
But he can all too easily become yours
You can get all men
The one you take is maybe the one that I lose
Beacuse, Dear Sister
One of them is mine

One of the men you see
I have taken with faults and deficiencies
Yes, Dear Sister
One of them is mine
