His beloved's head: you can tell from "ihr" in the second line. I'll
get out my rusty high-school German and do a quick parse:
Du wir können doch gute Freunde bleiben*
you we can anyway good friends stay
hat sie zu mir gesagt, darauf hätte ich ihr am Liebsten
has she to me said then would-have I her most-dearly
eine Kugel durch den Kopf gejagt!!!
a bullet through the head shot
"Well, we can stay good friends," she said to me, and then I'd have
loved to put a bullet through her head!
