I am glad we share some uneasiness with Nietzche. I take it for a great poet, but a bad philosopher. ? Then your German is better than mine, as a native speaker. Having enough distance and humor for one's own statements doesn't come through much in the translations. I don't think he ever took himself "seriously" as a philosopher, and he often pokes subtly fun at the notion.
