I'm so crazy for your strawberry lips1,
I've screamed for your white body
until my lungs were raw, girl2.
Inmidst the clovers, May has made a bed,
a nice pastime blooms there
together with your body all night long.
[Chorus:]
Strawberry lips, I'm so crazy (strawberry lips),
so crazy for strawberry lips.
I'm so crazy for your lips,
strawberry lips.
In the deep strawberry valley, in the black hair,
there I slept many a summeryear long
next to you and still I never slept too much.
Now there's a red animal in my blood,
it gives me back my high spirits.
Come to me, I know a nice game
[Chorus]
The grey world doesn't bring me joy anymore,
I gave away the nicest summer,
and it didn't bring you luck, either;
you only saved up the red lips,
kept it safe for me so deep in the hair...
I'm already searching for them all night long
[Chorus]
