Do kanns zaubere [English translation]

A blank sheet of paper, a pencil

Sitting here, thinking about you

at the window, I’m listening as music

spills out thru the door, making me

slide back thru time, to ere that I met you

and my whole life, from day one,

tormenting me anew

But you enchant me, just like your mammy plays the cards,

I tell you, some trick like that, it’s gotta be

Well the others, they all told you, “it’s too late,

that punk he’s lost it, yeah that punk:

you'll not save him from his fate”

I was put to the wall, demented

yet every night full, contented,

my confused mind denied it

But I was out if my depth, daze'd

but the worst of it, was when

I finally caught your eye

it was painfully clear that, now or never

had our moment arrived

Man, but I was on edge, stressed-out

as I poured out my heart - hectic

but despite that, bless'ed,

you didn’t laugh right in my face, and that you still listened to

all the dross I blurted out

all my drivel, that nonsense

because the chance came along so quickly

But you enchant me, just like your mammy plays the cards,

I tell you, some trick like that, it’s gotta be

Well the others, they all told you, “it’s too late,

that punk he’s lost it, yeah that punk:

you'll not save him from his fate”

A blank sheet of paper, a pencil

Sitting here, thinking about you

at the window, I’m listening, but,

not taking anything in, as

I still cannot believe, here we are, arm in arm

All I know that your magic works a charm
