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 that 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 say "voonderbar"
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 say "voonderbar"
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
