Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen
Embracing Love's Grandeur: 'Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen' Explained
Lyrics
Of all the boys I've known, and I've known some
Expressing experience with various boys in the past
Until I first met you, I was lonesome
Feeling lonely until meeting the person being addressed
And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light
Feeling joy and excitement upon seeing the person
And this old world seemed new to me
Viewing the world with a fresh perspective due to the person's presence
You're really swell, I have to admit you
Complimenting the person, acknowledging their excellence
Deserve expressions that really fit you
Expressing the difficulty of finding words that truly describe the person
And so I've racked my brain, hoping to explain
Attempting to articulate the impact of the person's actions
All the things that you do to me
Reflecting on the positive effects of the person's presence
Bei mir bist do schön, please let me explain
Introducing the phrase "Bei mir bist du schön" and expressing a desire to explain
Bei mir bist do schön means you're grand
Providing the translation of "Bei mir bist du schön" as "you're grand"
Bei mir bist do schön, again I'll explain
Reiterating the meaning of the phrase and emphasizing the person's beauty
It means you're the fairest in the land
Stating that the phrase means the person is the fairest in the land
I could say Bella, bella, even sehr wünderbar
Offering alternative phrases in different languages to express admiration
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
Highlighting the limitation of language in conveying the person's grandeur
I've tried to explain, bei mir bist do schön
Reiterating the difficulty in explaining the beauty expressed by "Bei mir bist du schön"
So kiss me and say you understand
Requesting a kiss as a gesture of understanding
Bei mir bist do schön, you've heard it all before
Acknowledging that the person has heard similar expressions before
but let me try to explain
Expressing a renewed attempt to explain the significance of "Bei mir bist du schön"
Bei mir bist do schön means that you're grand
Reaffirming that "Bei mir bist du schön" means the person is grand
Bei mir bist do schön, it's such an old refrain
Noting the familiarity of the phrase while still attempting an explanation
and yet I should explain
Emphasizing the need to explain the phrase further
It means I am begging for your hand
Indicating that the phrase signifies a plea for the person's hand in marriage
I could say bella, bella, even sehr wünderbar
Repeating alternative phrases to express admiration
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
Reiterating the challenge of language in describing the person's grandeur
I could say bella, bella, even sehr wünderbar
Repeating alternative phrases for emphasis
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
Highlighting the limitation of language in expressing the person's grandeur
I've tried to explain, bei mir bist do schön
Expressing the ongoing attempt to explain the beauty of "Bei mir bist du schön"
So kiss me and say that you will understand
Concluding with a request for a kiss and understanding
