Break an equally spaced long table

Question

I've been using tabularx and \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{X X} to get two equally spaced columns with text aligned to the left. Example:

\begin{table}[H]
    \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{X X}
        die Kleidung & clothes \\
        der Schuh & shoe
    \end{tabularx}
\end{table}

The problem is that if I create a long table, the content goes outside the bottom page margins, like this: How can I break this table automatically while keeping exactly the same alignment?

I've tried using the packages longtable, ltablex and ltxtable, unsuccessfully. Whenever I get the break to work properly at the end of the page, the alignment does not. See below. However, this solution is still pretty bad... not only due to the alignment I can't fix, but also because it spoils all other tabularx tables. The next image shows how a table using \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{@{}Y|Y|Y@{}} becomes different. See how it changes below.
