Bei mir bist du schön

Of all the boys I've known, and I've known some

Before I first met you I was lonesome

But then you came in sight, and my heart grew alive

And this whole 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'll 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'll say it again

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've tried to explain "Bei mir bist du schön"

So kiss me and say you'll understand

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 that you will understand!
