| Of all the boys I've known and I've known some
|
| Until I first met you I was lonesome
|
| And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light
|
| And this old world seemed new to me
|
| You're really swell, I have to admit you
|
| Deserve expressions that really fit you
|
| And so I've racked my brain hoping to explain
|
| All the things that you do to me
|
| Bei mir bist du schön, please let me explain
|
| 'Bei mir bist du schön' means you're grand
|
| Bei mir bist du schön, again I'll explain
|
| It means you're the fairest in the land
|
| I could say 'bella, bella' even 'sehr wunderbar'
|
| Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
|
| I've tried to explain, 'bei mir bist du schön'
|
| So kiss me and say you understand
|
| Bei mir bist du schön
|
| You've heard it all before but let me try to explain
|
| 'Bei mir bist du schön' means that you're grand
|
| 'Bei mir bist du schön,' it's such an old refrain
|
| And yet I should explain, it means I am begging for your hand
|
| I could say 'bella, bella' even 'sehr wunderbar'
|
| Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
|
| I could say 'bella, bella' even 'sehr wunderbar'
|
| Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
|
| I've tried to explain 'bei mir bist du schn'
|
| So kiss me and say that you will understand! |
