maybe my vocabulary is not quite that of an educated native English speaker - and maybe I do make grammar mistakes occasionally that I would not do in German - but other than that, English is for me like German. I do not translate in my head from German to English, my thought process is in English. So yes, lyrics like those touch me emotionally just like any native speaker with empathy would be touched.
