Mädchen, Was Soll Ich Dir Singen

Should I find new words
That no one has found before me
Justify them with deeper meaning
Words from first hand
And I love you so say
That it sounds literary
And only the terms dare
In which the meaning resonates
But as you can see
A song that is too demanding

Girl, what should I sing to you
Tell me what softens your heart
How must that song sound
That reaches more than your ear

Should I swear eternal loyalty
Tremolo in the voice
Say I want to be yours
Be your protector and so
Who builds your future
Into which no shadow ever falls
Sun shines through the cracks
To the rosy world
But all this should sound credible
Then I would have to sing a schmaltzy song

Girl, what should I sing to you
Tell me what softens your heart
How must that song sound
That reaches more than your ear

Or should I rather act
Keeping what a song promises
Turning words into action
Check what has more weight
Surround you with love
Showing that is what matters
Prove I love you
Just as good as I can
Girl, tell me how do you like it
I'll stop singing immediately

Girl, what should I sing to you
Tell me what softens your heart
How must that song sound

That reaches more than your ear
