Bei mir bist du schön

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!
